Album Description

Before the sudden passing of the great Gerald Levert, he teamed up with his father Eddie Levert Sr. one more time to record this smash album. The last time the two worked together they released a great collection of music with the album Father and Son.

5 out of 5 stars The Cd of the Year for sure.......2007-07-31

this is the cd of the year if you dont have it please get it you will love it my favorite songs are #2,#,5,6 and 10 but the whole cd is great, I wish that G-bear coulda been here to get his kudos, I really miss him.
Thank God for techology and his music will live on forever.
Tawana(tee1) G-spot,Gphig for life.

5 out of 5 stars Do they give us something to talk about?.......2007-07-29

For the true Eddie and Gerald Levert fans, this is a culmination of the best work of two of the world's "soul singers." I was skeptical that they would be able to do justice to Something to Talk About, as I'm a big Bonnie Rait fan, but she would be proud of their cover. My personal favorite on this disc is the cover of Bread's "Make It With You." I realize how much I am going to miss Gerald's voice.

If you are a fan, this is one you definitely must add to your collection.

1 out of 5 stars Sadly Disappointed.......2007-07-17

I was sadly disappointed with this CD. Unfortunately, it sounded like it was not completed prior to Gerald's untimely passing and Eddie's voice was digitally added to the tracks.

5 out of 5 stars My love is gone but not forgotten.......2007-07-03

I have listen and cried just to hear the strong and handsome voice of a man I LOVE so Dear. Gerald's music is a blessing to me, I Thank God he allowed Gerald to pass this way! The CD is an AWSOME piece of work, if you do not have this project in your collection. I urge you to get it, you will be blessed.

4 out of 5 stars What a PHENOMENAL duo father & son made!.......2007-07-02

Eddie Levert Sr. & Gerald Levert were perhaps one of the most soulful, powerful duos to ever live in my opinion. What may be most perplexing about the second collaboration between father and son, SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT, the follow-up to the exceptional FATHER & SON, is the pair sound even closer vocally than they did on FATHER & SON. Indeed, history may have never seen two voices who complemented each other any better than Eddie Levert, Sr. and his greatly missed son, the late (hard to say that), great Gerald Levert. While FATHER & SON will always be the definitive duet set between the two, SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT is a brilliant effort, finished just prior to Levert's sudden death in November 2006. There is no "Wind Beneath My Wings" or anything that is as soulful as the brilliant, better-than-original remake of the O'Jay's "You've Got Your Hooks In Me", but soul, sweat, and vocal perfection ooze throughout SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT. I have to say, Gerald would be so proud, and I know Eddie is definitely proud of this fine addition to the Levert catalogue. If only Gerald were still here...

The album starts with the rousing "S.O.S.", where any Levert fan instantly recognizes the power and soul of the Leverts. The production is contemporary enough not to sound dated, but soulful enough to recall the power and vigor of 1970s soul. "I Like It" doesn't downgrade or sacrifice any quality, keeping both the new and old alive via soulful production. Once again, the melding of two voices with only small variants makes for another hit. One of my personal favorites follows via the Grammy worthy "Close & Personal" in which both Leverts bear their souls and achieve such a raw grit within their voices. The production lies somewhere between R. Kelly's "steppin' music" and vintage 70s & 80s sou. Equally good is the follow-up track, "That's What I Do", where the Levert men slow the tempo down and sing a beautiful ode to women - one of the most tear-wrenching duets of the album, where Levert tells the woman she should be "given carte blanch". The refrain is certainly the most catchy and most beautiful of the entire album, making you wish that the 4:08 track lasted for days. While not necessarily as good as "Close & Personal" or "That's What I Do", the great "Bad Habit" provides the fifth consistent track of SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT. The refrain is absolutely marvelous in which the duo sings: "I can't let you go, baby you've become my bad habit..." I have to say the Levert men NEVER miss a step nor a beat.

"Slip Away" features production reminiscent of the sensual R&B sound of the 1980s and once again the Levert's provide for another top-rate number. The remake of "Something To Talk About" doesn't rival "Wind Beneath My Wings" for the best cover track, but it is a very worthy remake with very smooth background vocals that absolutely make the track. Honestly, the Leverts are very good at covers, moreso than a number of other artists. "Make It With You" isn't bad either while "Tapped" is another personal favorite of mine in which any doubt of datedness with the group is erased with its playful production job. "A Situation" isn't the best track on the album, but it is definitely solid and above par. "Get To Know Me", the penultimate track is very welcome here while
"The Simple Life" proves to be phenomenal ending to an overall exceptional final album by the duo that should've lasted forever.

Overall, there isn't a misstep on SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT. It is well produced and I think it is another exceptional addition to the R&B market in 2007, which I think has been very strong this year in particular. Gerald Levert, you will never be forgotten. Your music and musical contributions are timeless; death can't make us forget you. 4 stars.

        5 out of 5 stars Something to Talk About/Harmony.......2007-07-18

        Great music - memories from the past. Music i hadn't heard in some time. I enjoyed it a great deal. It's a CD i'll listen to again and again.

        5 out of 5 stars Anne with synthesizers.......2005-05-25

        Anne achieved considerable success at home and internationally during the seventies and early eighties with her blending of pop and country music, sometimes with other influences too, especially on her early albums where folk music was a major influence. For the two albums here, Anne has opted for a more obvious pop sound with plenty of synthesizers. If she hoped that this would expand her fan base, she was disappointed. Anne didn't impress long-standing fans with the synthesizers while fans of electronic music had other heroes and heroines. All that said, the overall sound isn't dramatically different from Anne's earlier music though it's noticeable. I don't mind the synthesizers but I don't think they improved the music.

        As far as the songs are concerned, the standout here is Now and forever you and me, which became a number one country hit. My favorites among the others include Anyone can do the heartbreak (co-written by Amanda McBroom, most famous for writing The rose), On and on, Are you still in love with me and The great divide.

        Anne performs the songs as brilliantly as ever, but there are fewer utterly great songs here than on most Anne Murray collections. It still rates five stars - it's an Anne Murray collection after all. Committed fans who must have everything will buy this anyway - and they will probably enjoy it - but if you only intend to buy some of Anne's music, there are plenty of better albums to buy (and I've reviewed most of them).

          This is by far the best new band I've listened to in the last two months. Everyone should give them a try. They have a laid back sound with clever chord progressions and great lyrics. This album is good adult alternative without all the whining.

          All I have to say is, if these guys don't make it big with their music, then nobody should. One of the best bands to come out of the northwest. Awesome lyrics, awesome music. Rock on Man of the year!
