Deja Vu

About the Artist
biography of geri king

She has the voice of an angel and the looks of a goddess, but R&B singer/songwriter/producer Geri King has little time for self-congratulation. "I want people to feel what I'm singing," says the soft-spoken singer. "I want to hit everybody in the heart." Straight talk from a straight shooter who's about to melt the hearts of R&B lovers everywhere with the release of her Full Length CD Déjà vu from Nuendo Music Group.

While her style is utterly contemporary, Geri reveals in her music an unmistakable reverence for the past. That's not hard to do when you come from Harlem, NY with its rich musical history.

When Kimo Kaulani, President of Nuendo Music Group told Geri that he rarely hears singers of her caliber anymore, she took it as a great compliment.

Geri says, "I want to take it back to how it was years ago, when people sang about real life experiences and truly felt what they were singing."

To aid her in that mission, Geri enlisted the help of a variety of producers. Geri herself co-wrote several songs, drawing on her own experiences and innermost feelings. "This album represents every aspect of who I am as an artist," says Geri.

The 1st single from Déjà vu is the silky, sexy "Am I Your Fantasy", the debut single which Geri says she wrote as "something the guys would appreciate, instead of just bashing them."

The second single from the CD, "Now That I Know" is currently in the Top 10 on Australian radio and looks to repeat that success at College radio in the US.

Ballads like "Am I Your Fantasy," "Tenderly" and "Black Butterfly" all have a touch of old school elegance, while others like "Deja Vu" and "Human" offer contrasting views of love and loss. Mid tempo tracks like "Give Me Your Love" and "All I Want Is…" offer lessons in the art of love and sharing, while "Not The Man For You" is a hand waving anthem. The album opens with "Once," an up tempo track with an oh-so-funky bass line and a lyric that proclaims "do it now, times running out"

"The truth is, I sing from my heart and soul; just being myself, the true essence of R&B soul." But that's the way connoisseurs of R&B like it.

Her name is Geri King and soon the world will know the name and, more importantly, the voice.

Product Description

Less than a year after the release of CSN's groundbreaking debut, the group returned with Stephen Stills's former Buffalo Springfield cohort/rival Neil Young augmenting the threesome. The result is a less concentrated but more kinetic creation; Young swims through the celestial harmonies of rock's best barbershop trio like a fly in consommé. While somewhat dated ("Almost Cut My Hair"? Wait a while, David, it'll fall out), Deju Vu is teeming with early '70s FM staples, including "Helpless," "Teach Your Children," and "Our House." --Steven Stolder

Deja Vu........ Have I written this before?????????.......2007-06-04

O.K. So I embedded myself into the photo on the cover. O.K. So I got Chance (an indian guide in a former life) to help me find out where I was at. And, to my surprise, it was 1870 and I was in a hilly area of Wyoming. Wy, you may ask? But, in a larger sense, that is the very question we should ask C,S,N & Y. If we all have lived before -then wy? For mere monetary compensation your knowledgable Seer will answer you. If not, you have to suffer through this review. :)
I liken this group to a band of ex-patriot renegades (see cover) who, for whatever what reason, saw fit to escape former situations to create a new creative band. How or why they got together is anyone's guess. But it works in a more than substantial way and the vocals and music are more than a snug fit like pieces of a puzzle.
The songs here have a tendency to embed themselves into self-serving memory for some reason. Perhaps it's the artists; perhaps it's the songs, perhaps it's the harmonies, perhaps it's the production. Then again, maybe, perhaps it's everything.
Even in the slower and more somber tunes, there is something here that awakens you - leads you on to some type of discovery. Whether it be inner or outer is your own choice. But realization of yourself and your world is a never ending process. Maybe we would all be better in Wyoming at a simpler, less complicated time. But, here we are. And we have no choice except to learn and evolve - or else, in the next life, this one will be the Deja Vu.
We begin with "Carry On" which borrows lyrics from Still's "Questions" that was on the last Buffalo Springfield album. On this he expands into a galloped beat with pronounced ensemble singing. Also a change in tempo. In a sense, the message is pronounced (as later in the Joni Mitchell song "Woodstock") that life is for learning. A call to carry on and learn.
The seemingly simple country slide guitar ode of Nash's "Teach Your Children" carries with it the underlying motif of understanding by shifting your perspective. In this case, older and younger generations. It's easy to discount others in which there is no reward. Better yet to take the effort to truly "see". The blessings are well worth the chance.
Crosby's "Almost Cut My Hair" with it's lazy walk riff poses questions within the self. Justifying inner decisions as opposed to whatever out there wants to decide for you. An amazing stream-of-conciousness tune. Or maybe drugs. With Crosby it's always a flip of the coin. What is next is one of the most glorious tunes on the album. "Helpless" conveys the awe and magnitude of the Canadian countryside that Neil knows. Nature in itself is a force beyond human comprhension or control, and in this we are all helpless.
"Woodstock" rocks righteously. And it is a call of a generation. It is also a song of moving forward with a clensing. We have all fallen- but we are golden and have to get ourselves back to the garden. Again- a moving on.
"Deja Vu", with Crosby's outerworldly guitar chords and ethereal meters beckon further examination of the world. "Do you know? Don't you wonder". The construction on this song never ceases to amaze your favorite Seer. Maybe I could have written this in a former life. O.K. - I won't go there.
"Our House" is Nash's ode to domestic bliss. Nothing exceptional but oh so addictive. That tune is just so incredibly pleasant. This must be what the afterworld is like! "4 + 20" finds Still's still aching about a lost love. Simple but effective acoustic guitar on this. Still, the dismay and depression of heartache is one of the most deeply confessional tunes I've heard. The ways of the world are sometimes wicked and cruel. Sometimes we create those ways.
Again, Neil Young shines bright with the trilogy of "Country Girl". Amazing, lush, and inventive changes in structure. This could not have been an easy tune to pull off. But, with musicians this talented anything is possible. "Too late to keep the change, too late to pay". Neil always throws these dilemmas in his tunes (see my review on "Everybody Knows this is Nowhere). Neil is consummate conveyor of enigmas within the soul. His own as well as others. Brilliant.
"Everybody I Love You" closes out this rock classic. A call to open up and let love through - even to one's self. Your "heart is an anchor" and "you expect for me to love you when you hate yourself my friend". With C,S,N & Y somehow, underneath it all, is a call to freedom and movement towards the dawn- the dawn of realization.
Well - that's it. I made you suffer through another review. Did you like it or did you need novacaine? I'm leaving Wyoming now. Being pelted with pinecones is not Metamorpho's cup of tea. No.
If you like wonderous harmonies, creative effort, and a classic from a magical bygone age - this is definitely a treat and essential to any rock collection.

I wore this out on vinyl, so had to have it on CD! These four guys are just splendid together, and the result is greater than the sum of its parts! A classic.

Shows What We've Lost and What They've Lost.......2007-04-26

When I listen to Deja Vu these days, I'm surprisingly not reminded of the hippie movement or drug-induced paranoia or political activism, although you could say CSN and sometimes Y have really become posterchildren for this tumultous time in our history. Instead, I'm still swept away by the aural beauty of the jangling acoustic guitars, the richness of the songs, the perfect harmonies, the passionate performances. I'm still mesmerized by Stills' tasty guitar licks which run through "Carry On" and "Deju Vu" and the emotional choke in his voice on 4 + 20's final verse. I love Jerry Garcia's pedal steel guitar that cries all the way through Nash's "Teach Your Children" and the experience listening to "Almost Cut My Hair," which sounds as if the band is playing in your living room with their amps cranked. I still get an adrenalin rush when I hear Stills belting out "Woodstock," which for me is one of the most powerful vocal performances in all of rock. And I like the eccentric Young's slow-as-molasses but elegant "Helpless." It reminds me of a time when music was not meant to be background noise, or to be listened to while you read or studied, or walked between classes at the university. It was a time when you put the LP on your turntable and sprawled in a comfortable chair or sat on the floor and let the music take you completely away. Or maybe you got together with friends and sat around just listening to new releases like Deja Vu, reading every word in the liner notes on the jacket. This is what I think we've lost.

Deja Vu also shows what CSN (and sometimes Y) ultimately have lost. Sadly, after this pinnacle of achievement, except for occasional flourishes of good songwriting and performance, Crosby, Stills, & Nash would rarely recapture the beauty of this album or its predecessor. The exception has of course been Young, who somehow has managed to keep it all together through the years. And except for Stills' magnificent opus, Manassas (1), and C&N's Wind On the Water, I realize just how much drug addiction and delusions of grandeur have drained the talent from these once brilliant artists. Fortunately, we still have the time capsules created by Buffalo Springfield, CSN, Hendrix, Cream, The Doors, The Stones, and The Beatles to transport us back to the musical renaissance of 1967--1972.

Musical Portrait of a Generation.......2007-04-07

Back when I was in high school, Deja Vu was one of the most popular albums with kids who were of a counter-culture bent. But it was also an album, due to the presence of the Graham Nash contributions Our House and Teach Your Children, that kids could play loudly at home without parents shouting at them to "turn that g#*d*#* noise down!". While the band's eponymous debut (sans Neil Young) brought them fame and fortune, it was Deja Vu that had such broad appeal that it became the musical portrait of a generation.
Admittedly, my vinyl copy of Deja Vu had been gathering dust for years as I have so much other music I had nearly forgotten CSNY. But recently, I saw this on sale at a bargain price in Costco and snapped it up after remembering how much I used to enjoy it as a kid. Well, I tell you, one listen brings the old days back to life. The industry reviewer says that songs like Almost Cut My Hair are dated, but I say they still sound as good today as when I first heard them.
Though the entire album is highly enjoyable, my favorites are: the stirring Carry On, the country-rock Teach Your Children, the anthemic Almost Cut My Hair, the evocative Our House, the plaintive 4 + 20, and the glorious Country Girl. Everytime I put this on, visions of old times and places flash though my mind.
Note that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and some other organization have chosen Deja Vu as one of 200 albums that should be in everyone's collection. I've seen that list and my stomach churns as I read it. But I was pleased to note that the compilers got roughly one out of ten right and this album is definitely one of those few. Obviously, if you are checking this CD out on the listings here you must have some familiarity with it. So if you have not gotten this remastered version of Deja Vu yet, the time to do so is now. You'll never be sorry you did.

Fogerty.......2007-06-10

Great value. If you are into the 60s' and 70s' you will love this one.

Zanz Still Can't Dance.......2006-11-25

Everyone's missed the point: John is mining the various genres of songcraft. Deja Vu is exactly what it is intended to be: It's yet another song about another war...ho hum. There's always another war. The bass lines are too close to Who Will Stop the Rain for pure happenstance. Fogerty knows what he is creating. Check the cover photo. Now...Sugar Sugar, the number two song, just happens to be the title of the song that kept his greatest song, Green River, from the number one spot. That's why it is number two on this album. John never forgets! And Zantz still can't dance! There is a punk rock song, She's Got Baggage. This isn't by chance. John's too smart for that. Listen to the disco strings of Radar. Nobody's Here Anymore is Dire Staits because it's supposed to be Dire Straits. It's all part of the concept, just like Down on the Corner was part of Willy and the Poorboys concept. Rhubarb Pie is as pessimistic as anything John has ever written. Wicked Old Witch is Creedence for those who need more of that stuff. In the Garden is Jimi! It's also a commentary on all that 60's euphoria. In the garden, indeed! Fogerty has given us a concept album that summarizes the last 30 years. Take it or leave it. He has been doing this all along. God bless him.

Where is that John Fogerty Sound?.......2006-09-30

John Fogerty trys to sound like everybody else on this album with mixed results. Only when he falls back upon the sound we love for then does he shine.

Here is a breakdown of my thoughts on the songs:

1) Deja Vu - a courageous & brilliant song about the war in Iraq. he took a lot of flack for writing this, but when John speaks out that is when he shines. I love this song.

2) Sugar Sugar - this is a wonderful, catchy tune and much better than Joy of My Life.

3) She's Got Baggage - never liked this song. It is not John. He is trying to sound like the Ramones and the result is one the worst songs he has done.

4) Radar - this is a better song. I give though only 7/10. A decent rocker, but he can do much better.

5) Honey Do - an offbeat song about marriage. It again copies another style. This time Carl Perkins. It is ok, but not great either.

6) Nobody's Here Anymore - Fogerty trys to do Dire Straits here. It is a pretty good song, but the lyrics are weak. Since when is talking on a cell phone or listening to headphones going to another dimension. Fogerty is reaching here to make a social commentary song, but just comes off sounding old.

7) I Will Walk With You - a nice song for his daughter, but too country for me.

8) Rhubard Pie - this bluesy song grows on you. I like it.

9) Wicked Old Witch - this is like an old CCR tune. One of the best songs on the cd, but too short, less than 3 minutes.

10) In the Garden - Don't like this. It sounds so dated. Fogerty is doing a cross between Cream & Hendrix. Also the drumming is way too loud.

John Fogerty took 2 and half years to write this and to me it seems like a concept album where he is going back and doing some CCR, but mostly other artists sound. I never play this album anymore. I listened to it many times, hoping it would grow on me, but it didn't.

It has its moments, but it not a good album. I also got the bootleg of Hoodoo at the same time and found that album, despite its poor sound, a much better album and that was scraped.

John needs to do what he does best - swamp rock. I hope next time he does that again.

Other stuff to check out.......2006-06-21

I am a huge fan of John Fogerty's solo music and his music with CCR. If you enjoy his roots-rock style then I strongly recommend that you check out the following:
1) 24 Hours A Day by The Bottle Rockets
2) Chooglin': A Tribute To The Songs Of John Fogerty
3) Banjos and Sunshine by Sixty Acres
4) Trace by Son Volt

Should be 6 stars..........2006-05-13

This is a great album from beginning to end. I love all kinds of music, from Hard Death Metal to Classical. This album is just happy, you cant help but sing along and smile! Songs like Sugar Sugar and Rhubarb Pie inject themselves into your soul with delight! He even rocks out with She Got Baggage, what a catchy, modern tune! Buy this CD, and let your lips rise in a juicy smile.

P.S. His previous album, Blue Moon Swamp might even be better!

The Master of No Mercy.......2004-06-12

This, from what I hear, is one of Suicidal's best-selling records, probably as much because of the name as the music. This is the first record with Robert Trujillo on bass, although for whatever reason, he is credited as "Stymee". These days he makes a more than a comfortable living as the latest Cliff Burton stand-in in Metallica. The downside to this album is that the production is kinda flat. The upside is that there are several excellent songs on here. However, its should be noted, and I don't see it in any of the other reviews, that half of this CD is actually cover songs, plus two more are different versions of the same song from Suicidal's previous album.

Somewhat different versions of "Controlled By Hatred", "Master Of No Mercy", "Waking the Dead", and "Choosing My Own Way Of Life" originally appeared "Widespread Bloodshed/Love Runs Red" by the band No Mercy in 1987 (NOT the mid-'90's hip-hop group). No Mercy was Mike Clark's first band, and Mike Muir replaced No Mercy's original singer sometime in the mid-'80's, before the album was recorded. This record is way out of print (a rumored re-issue has yet to appear) and its definitely worth the hunt to pick it up if you are a hardcore Suicidal fan, although it will cost you big bucks. A couple songs intended for a second No Mercy LP ended up on "How Will I Laugh Tomorrow" (including the title track). No Mercy sounds much more like the late '80's/early '90's Suicidal than, say, the band that recorded "Join The Army". I think that "Controlled By Hatred" was one of the best songs that Suicidal ever recorded. "Waking The Dead" is also great. The other 2 songs are good, but don't match the previous two. Anyway, another cover on here is "Its Not Easy", originally recorded by the Mike Muir-side project Los Cycos in 1985 for the "Welcome To Venice" comp., a record than will cost you more that No Mercy's, especially since the master tapes were destroyed in a fire, making a re-release almost impossible. "Its Not Easy" is all right. Its one those "Underneath my crazy exterior, I'm hurting" songs Mike Muir seemed to pull out at least twice per album. Then you've got two versions of "How Can I Laugh Tomorrow..." The first is the video edit. Completely useless, who needs the edited version of a song? The "heavy emotion version" on the other hand, is absolutely fantastic. Then you've got two more songs (original to this disc as far as I know), the excellent "Just Another Love Song" and the not-quite-as-good-but-still-pretty-good "Feel Like S***, Deja-Vu".

A couple of people have made mention of "gangsta" image of this album, but that was something Suicidal had from the beginning, although it was mixed with a skater thing. Anyway, who cares about their image? Its not like they were singing about their ho's and bling-bling. Besides, if you are a Suicidal fan you should already own this, and if you don't like them then I doubt this CD will change your mind.

Better than HOW WILL I LAUGH..........2004-06-01

With this being said I will you a reason for my bias; pure angry thrash[metal]. Well... except for the two alternate versions of "How Will I Laugh..." WAKING THE DEAD is perfect for a slow-mosh, the lyrics for MASTER OF NO MERCY are hilarious and JUST ANOTHER LOVE SONG makes the circle pit explode with drunk idiot punks and locs alike. The energy is much more present here than the previous album discussed above and contains less mindless tracks that plagued that record making it way too hokey. Here, Suicidal are much more primal and evcn more metal than that release. The two HOW WILL I LAUGH reprises are almost worth a rats (...)(check out the 'heavy emotion version,' which is the best of all three!) SUICIDAL 4 LIFE!!!

A good album, but a letdown from How Will I Laugh.......2004-04-07

Considering that of the 9 songs on this album, two are just remixes of the track "How will I Laugh" there really isn't enough new material here. The material that is there is good though, with a thrashy sound, a bit less melodic than How Will I Laugh but nicely mettalic. My theory on this album though is that this is mostly material that didn't make it onto the How Will I Laugh album or wasn't finished so they released it a year later. Not bad, but not so memorable.
Buy it if your a big S.T. fan, if not stick with the previous releases.

Ear to ear grin.......2003-11-15

This album is one of the finest that ST did. I used to listen to this album a lot between the ages of 15 - 17 (probably because it suited the age). A lot of time - years - passed by before I was floored by this group's music. Yes, floored is the word.

My love for thrash and speed metal is one that also disappeared for quite some time, and then all of the sudden years later I became to appreciate the genre extremely. Like a woman you haven t seen for some time, and then you re unite after some time. Sounds kind of mushy don't it ? : )

Actually I had the luck of seeing this band live on a tour they did in 1991 w Queensryche (which is also a good band).

Although this band is criticised for living a `thug life', I tend to ignore or not pay attention to that. It really gets in the way of my enjoying or liking their music.

Their music has energy and aggression and that s what I look for when Im listening to it. The guitars sound incredible on here. Rocky George sounds without words, as some of the best guitar solos I ve heard. Probably because there is a edited version of the video to How will i laugh. That song rocks and the solos are super. The other songs too, `Waking the dead', Master of no mercy, and Controlled by hatred. It deserves 5 stars. I dont see why 4.

Peace.

It deserves 3.5 stars........2003-07-16

To be honest I think the music and the lyrics are great. What bothers me is the production. I don't mind if any album is not as polished as "The Black Album", but there is something wrong here. You can hear the instruments perfectly; the drums, guitars, and bass can be heard very clearly. But you can barely hear Mike Muir's voice. All of the instruments are louder than the singing. I'm a big ST/IG fan, and what surprises me the most is that the albums they released before this had better production than this album and they wern't really polished. For examaple, the albums before this had the same production as Megadeth's "So Far, So Good.....So What", which is pretty good.

Now to the music. This album is a good example of ST's Thrash/Speed Metal era. If you like 80s Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Testament, and COC then you will definatly like this. This is not a harcore punk CD like thier self-titled debut, which was great. They also avoided the Skater Thrash sound that they made on their second album "Join The Army", which was also good. Like I said if you liked the aformentioned bands then you will like this. If you're lookin for Nu Metal junk, then look somewhere else or turn on Mtv.

My advice to you is don't get this album unless if you heard their other albums first. I like this album, but I don't think anyone should get this if its the best ST albums for beginners. I would reccomened getting "Join The Army", "How Will I Laugh Tommorrow", or "lights....Camera..Revolution" first. If you liked then you should deffinetly get this.

This is a CD Single for House Music Fans.......2006-10-07

If you are into hip hop, you will probably only like the album version. The other tracks on this single are house remixes and will appeal to a completely different audience. The Freemasons Club mix is a disco house mix and it virtually removes all the hip hop stylings of the song. Naturally, this will not appeal to Beyonce's base audience, but for the house lovers, this is magic. For those who are not familiar, Freemasons have been turning the club scene upside down for the past year, or so, having remixed Faith Evan's "Mesmerized", Jamiroquai's "Don't Give Hate A Chance", Heather Headley's "In My Mind" (Freemasons mix was never released on CD), Supafly, Inc. "Moving Too Fast", and most recently, Luther Vandross' "Shine". There are samples of the Freemasons' mix of Shine on the "Ultimate Luther Vandross" CD around on the web. Although, there are not many other samples of their work available, the Freemasons remix singles are widely popular in Europe, and largely ignored by the US market, since we have veered in the hip hop/rap direction. However, they are well worth searching for. If you are a house fan, I think you should check the Deja Vu remixes out.

Reminds me of pure flavor and good medicine (3&1/2 stars).......2006-09-15

Beyonce got it going on. Even though the song samples Teena Marie's "Square Biz", it shows her moving into a new evolution, a new era, some more charismatic-ish. Another point enuff fighting about Beyonce and what her relationship and collabo with no other than Mr. President himself, Jay-Z, Hova or Jigga (aka real name Shawn Carter or S. Carter), can't ya'll get a break or so? Don't get me wrong, I'm always trying to help. Love the arrangements, nice horns by the way, is more a'la Tina Turner meets Donna Summer. Beyonce can do it all. She's truly one of a kind. Don't have her latest Disc yet. But I approve 100% as a songwriter, producer, actress, enterpreneur, and mostly the fastest-working businesswoman.

Surely gettin into my Guts.

What the He--??!!!!!.......2006-09-13

What a let down! I only like the cut Deja Vu and MAYBE Irreplaceable. That is it! And then I was disappointed with Deja Vu because the music was not like in her live performances. Not as energetic. And the other songs -- I cannot even understand what she is saying. WHATEVER. It actually sounds like she did it in two days instead of two weeks. Just thrown together!

Well here's another one.......2006-09-07

Well, Beyonce did it again...another cd but only this time it didn't compliment her at all. She said that she put this cd together in 2 weeks-well it sure sounds like it!! It's not your typical Beyonce cd. Now, don't get me wrong I'm all for Beyonce I've liked her since way back Destiny's Child but this cd just doesn't do her any justice. Even though I think this cd is not good it will probably go platinum just because it's BEYONCE and everybody wants to see what she's come up with since she hasn't been out in a while. All in all, I would not waist my money on this. Right now, I'm rating this as a "must play over and over and over again to like it" in other words it's really going to have to grow on me. Did I mention over and over again??

It's OKAY.......2006-09-05

Yeah, "Deja Vu" is just okay. It's not fantastic, it's not bad, it's just okay but forgetable. Beyonce's voice sounds really strained towards the middle of the song.I keep hearing that "Deja Vu" has a Michael Jackson "Off The Wall" vibe to it, but I guess I missed it becauses I don't hear any resemblence. It actualy sounds more like the remix to "Crazy In Love." Jay-Z doesn't add anything to the song either. Other than that I recommend listening to "Deja Vu" by Dionne Warwick, Teena Marie, or Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz.

Album Description

DEJA VU is the first electrifying single from Beyonce's forthcoming album B'DAY. Features JAY-Z and was co-produced by Beyonce and Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins. Beyonce also served as co-producer, writer and arranger for the entire B'DAY album, guests on B'DAY include The Neptunes, Rich Harrison (Beyonce 'Crazy in Love' & Amerie '1 Thing') and Swizz Beatz. Beyonce's new album is the artist's first full-length solo work since her multi-platinum 2003 solo debut, "Dangerously In Love," which earned her five 2004 Grammy Awards, a tied record for the most Grammys to be won in a single year by a female artist. "Dangerously In Love" and "Crazy In Love" made chart history when both album and single simultaneously hit #1 in the U.S. and the UK (which hadn't happened since 1983).

Enter The Dance Zone!.......2007-05-26

As Beyoncé stirs quite a topic among fans of other artist nothing can change the fact that Beyoncé has outstanding qualities not comparable to most. She has ambition, drive, and most of all confidence! Her styles are perfection and this single is just one glimpse of that.

DeJa Vu Album Version (3:58) featuring Jay-Z is the song that never gets tiring to hear as the beats are sticky, the hooks are catchy, and the R&B hip-hop fast paced beats just lure you in. The vocals by Beyoncé display much talent, pitch control, and pleasant resonance. Jay-Z also brings much flavor with his tight rhymes. Excellent R&B hit song sure to entertain and satisfy many fans and new listeners.

DeJa Vu Freemasons Remix (8:05) has the typical techno swirls, vast echoing trance chirps and enhanced electronica not present on the regular album, edit or radio versions. The song is slightly changed from the original as the beats take off to emphasize dance beats, and many nights on the dance floor. The extended minutes will be sure to fulfill many DJ's dreams and nightclub lovers. Much of the lyrics are repeated and Beyoncé's vocals sound fabulous! There are many repetitive transitions with elevated instrumentations that lower and elevate definitely hot! Dance lovers will find this to be a true club favorite for sure!

great range.......2006-09-04

Thats her voice im talking about, heard her whole album bday, and to tell you the truth that is quite amazing. Will be a classic. This girl is coming of age and unleashed the talent within herself and you can just hear it in her extraordinary aretha franklin style vocals. This single is the showing that she can put emotion in her song, real raw animalistic powerful range.
I shudder to think but this girl is actually getting better.

Re-Using Old Ideas?.......2006-08-20

I guess that is expected if you did an album in only three weeks, but I still expected more from Beyonce. "Deja Vu" is basically "Crazy In Love" pt.2 and yet it lacks the creativity of "Crazy In Love". This has not stop the song from going number one and it will not stop her album from going number one. However, it is time for her work to mature with her. While the track is hot, the fact she has already released a second song should tell you this song will not be considered a 'classic'.

perfecto mundo!.......2005-07-04

Deja vu is the quintessential album of the 1960's counterculture. No less than 7 cuts from the disc, 'Carry On', 'Teach Your Children', 'Almost Cut My Hair', 'Woodstock', 'Our House', 'Deja vu', and 'Everybody I Love You' can be considered poster children for all the New Left stood for and aspired to in the late 1960's and early 1970's. It is a remarkable disc, equaled only by the debut Crosby, Stills and Nash LP in its social relevance, and in pioneering and defining the folk-rock genre.
Each of the four artists in this, the quintessential rock 'supergroup', contributes two of the most essential compositions in their careers. The album was particularly noteworthy for the writings of David Crosby ('Almost Cut My Hair' and 'Deja vu') and Graham Nash ('Teach Your Children' and 'Our House'), and the stunning background vocal contributions they provide on the Stills and Young compositions, excepting the solo acoustic '4 + 20'.

Stills, who played most of the instruments on the debut CSN LP, backs off a bit to leave room for Dallas Taylor on drums and Greg Reeves on bass. Jerry Garcia and John Sebastian are also credited with instrumental contributions. In addition to the stark '4 + 20', Stills reaches back into his past, culling lyrics from his Buffalo Springfield classic, 'Questions', to serve as a coda on the opener, 'Carry On', and springs forward into his future to graft lyrics that would open 'Know You Got To Run' from his second solo LP into 'Everybody I Love You'. Neil is given a rare co-songwriting credit on 'Everybody...' with Stills (can you name another?). In spite of their long association, they weren't exactly Lennon and McCartney!

Despite all the aforementioned blockbuster songs, CS&N were apparently insecure in releasing the disc without adding Y. Neil offers the classic composition 'Helpless' and the underplayed medley 'Country Girl', which stands high among Young's finest works. Top off the collection with the hyper, grinding, high-flying rendition of the Joni Mitchell anthem, 'Woodstock', and you have one of the finest rock albums ever produced.

The album is a near perfect mix in terms of musical styles and subject matter. Though thought of today as somewhat stereotypical in personifying the 'hippie mystique', the album 'Deja vu' is representative of the ideals youth held, or at least liked to think they held, in the midst of the various social revolutions going on around them. It is nothing short of essential to any comprehensive collection of modern rock music, and to an understanding of the era and a generation.

An Interesting Concept Album!!!.......2005-12-26

I had never heard of Fareed Haque until our local public radio station began playing a few songs from this CD over the airwaves. I liked some of the arrangements...so, I purchased it. I didn't realize at the time that it was all a collection of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young songs. This is an interesting concept album, but I still like the original songs a lot better. Good effort!

Pat Martino meets 70s rock.......2003-04-12

Fareed has succeeding in picking up an a certain aspect of Pat Martino's style and developing it. Listen to Pat's version of Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now and his other work with Gil Goldstein and also Kenwood Dennard and you see where Fareed is coming from. Interesting music!

No library is complete without this excellent work.......1998-08-10

Haque's solid style covering old favorites while imbuing them with new life. I put this in the same category as Double Vision, Fourplay and LA4. Great lively, yet relaxing music for a Sunday afternoon or a mellow evening with old friends.
