Just when you thought the 21st century retro-R&B revolution was grinding to a sunken-hearted halt, Ryan Shaw comes along and revives the revivalist moment: This Is Ryan Shaw, the 26-year-old's phenomenal debut, dazzles not just because he can sing a song like Bobby Womack's "Lookin' for a Love" without letting the rear-view mirror leach him of his own soul, but because his originals--first single "Nobody," "We Got Love," and set closer "Over and Done"--convincingly replicate the classic sound of such forebears as Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, and Wilson Pickett. Here's a man who can plead, please, and play out love-struck dramas with his voice as though the '60s never ended; if his sound borrows heavily, it pays back what it owes with genuine contributions to the genre. Shaw's is real R&B without the raunch--a return to uplift too self-respecting and sincere to land on the retread pile. --Tammy La Gorce

This Is Real R&B.......2007-07-31
I met and performed in a wedding band with Ryan Shaw back in 2002 and I vividly remember being totally blown away by his powerfully soulful voice. I get called on a lot of gigs because my sound and style is reminiscent of the R&B of the 60's & 70's but this young man is the embodiment of all of the sweet soul and true raw grittiness of the genre. I saw him just this past Sunday morning on the Today Show and, he sounds even better than I remembered. To listen to him sing with that incredibly rangy voice and to experience the feelings he emotes in a song, takes you back to the days of when Rhythm and Blues was real & honest, not just a bunch of lecherous young bucks cussin' and pullin' at themselves. No, no. Ryan Shaw is real R&B like Sam Cooke, Solomon Burke, Jackie Wilson, Ray Charles & Wilson Pickett used to sing and you'd swear he's channeling all of them when you hear him sing. Ryan Shaw is real R&B that I can play for my children & grandchildren and say, this is real singing from the soul. GOD bless Ryan Shaw. I remember jokingly saying to him that he was going to take all the wedding date work from everybody and he replied that he wouldn't being doing that kind of work for long. I'm glad to see that he persued his dream and he's spreading true R&B so the world will know what it's really about.
Awesome!.......2007-07-29
From the first song to the last song the
"This is Ryan Shaw"
album is pure gold.
This young man will go far in the music business.
A real talent - great album, great live.......2007-07-25
I saw Ryan Shaw open for Buddy Guy in Ann Arbor. Most of the crowd probably did not know who he was before the concert, but he left to a standing ovation. (Buddy did great too - he's a legend and a must see).
Ryan is a great talent, singing with such soul. He sings with such range and seems comfortable in several different styles. Some songs remind me of Memphis Stax (in the sytles of Sam & Dave, Otis Redding) of 60's Motown (Do the 45, I Found a Love), some like Keb'Mo (We got love), and some have a little funk (Nobody).
Tell your friends. Buy the album. See him live. You won't be disappointed.
A great talent like his should be appreciated by the masses.
Great Retro debut from really talented singer.......2007-07-12
Ryan Shaw has a great voice, a really great voice, similar to Terence Trent D'Arby without all his dramatic attitude and he sounds like he's actually having fun. He clearly loves the genre of old school R&B, Motown, and Soul and could hold his own among all but Otis, Stevie, Marvin, and James Brown. The majority of the songs however are too retro for my taste. They have that late fifties, early sixties simplicity that's full of energy but offer nothing you haven't heard before on a Time Life commercial for oldies compilations and the arrangements offer nothing new like Joss Stone's latest does.
That said, the songs "Nobody" and "We Got Love" are unbelievably good and worth the price of the disc alone. I've been playing them constantly. In another era they'd garner him instant stardom. They may even do that now.
Whatever 'school' you put him in, Ryan Shaw's definitely head of the class.......2007-07-10
What a voice. The first time I heard "Nobody" I thought I was on an oldies station. Ryan Shaw can belt the lyrics out with more soul than I've heard in a long time. He does make me think of Sam Cooke or Otis Redding, but honestly--he's himself and that's way beyond fine with me.
Shaw clearly demonstrates the old adage of RESPECT as well. There's no explicit language or situations that would prevent an Old School grandparent from introducing the kids to this music.

You don't expect a Broadway star to be slow burning and funky (Ben Vereen notwithstanding), but Heather Headley is both. Best known for her stage roles in The Lion King and Aida--the latter won her a Tony--the Trinidad native is used to arch performance. Yet her debut album focuses on smooth, lean R&B grooves and Headley's honeyed voice. Heartbreak is Headley's ace. "I Wish I Wasn't" is a tortured missive dispatched from an empty home. "Always Been Your Girl"--the set's hands-down centerpiece--finds Headley pleading with a longtime friend to consider her in a different light. It's a staggeringly powerful song--the kind you can imagine Headley belting out beneath a stark spotlight--made all the more stunning by the fact that the whole collection isn't tied to that one emotion. Also here are the breezy, Mars-Venus meditation "Nature of a Man" and the near-tribal thump of "Like Ya Used To." There are producers and guests aplenty, but Headley is, as always, the star of the show. --Kim Hughes
Customer Reviews:
Heather Rocks!!.......2007-01-07
Discovered this artist a few years back through one of those recommendation links and I have been hooked on her music ever since. Thought this album was the best thing to hit the airwaves in forever. . until I discovered her second album! She is amazing! Both of her albums are incredible, soulful, beautiful and rank right up there with the likes of Mary J. Blige and Christina Aguilera. This CD is great, but her second CD RULES!! Get them both, you won't be disappointed!
One of the best CDs ever made.......2006-12-27
I love, love, love this cd. I've already had to replace it twice due to overplaying. (Guess I should just break down and get one of those MP3 Players)!
For me, this is a musical masterpiece. Heather's voice is a divine gift that floats the listener into some parallel universe for the length of the cd. I totally "feel" her and would recommend this to anyone looking for darn good R&B, Pop, Lounge-y sounds.
great cd.......2006-08-01
I love Heather Headleys voice. this cd is great from begining to end...
Her album is all singles.......2006-06-18
I wish I wasn't is her only good song on this album. He is isn't even that good of a song. It's okay. The rest of the album sucks. This is an example of an album where an artist puts out a good single knowing they could suck you into it.I wouldn't reccommend this album to anyone, unless they just want it for the singles. And for that, you could download the songs for 99 cents ea. on the internet.Overall, it's a bad album.There's nothing more to really say about it.
A great CD!.......2006-06-05
I bought Heather's Cd when the song "He Is" came out. I immediately claimed it as my favorite. For several weeks, it was all I listened to. I can relate to the lyrics on "I wish I wasn't" and several others. You go Heather! Keep on doing what you're doing.

Love it! Take her or leave her, this is who she is now!.......2007-07-19
I am currently going through some emotional trials and tribulations in my life right now. I went to the Father for support by focusing on the Word of God. But in addition to this, Kelly's CD has given me the inspiration I need through her lyrics to help me began the healing of my broken spirit. I highly recommend this CD and may the good Lord bless her.!
Uplifting & Spirit-Filled.......2007-06-27
This is a great album, from the first track to the last. Kelly Price is supremely talented, and I wish I'd known about it when it came out last year. She is one of the few artists whose albums I will buy before hearing a single track - just off of the strength of her previous material. Keep the good music coming, Kelly!
AWESOME.......2007-06-13
I LOVE THIS CD. KELLY IS OFF THE CHAIN ON THIS CD. MY FAVORITES ARE #2,3,4,6,7,9,10,11. # 1 AND 8 ARE COOL BUT THE REST OF THEM ARE OFF THE CHAIN. SHE IS AN INSPIRATION TO ME AND #3 TELLS MY STORY. THANK YOU KELLY AND I PRAY THAT GOD CONTINUES TO BLESS YOU TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC AND SOUL STIRRING SONGS.
THIS IS A GREAT CD!! PLEASE PURCHASE ONE AND PRAISE GOD ON #4!!!!
mixed review.......2007-06-08
I recently purchased Kelly Price's latest album, This is Who I am. I would like to share some of my thoughts regarding this CD. Let me preface this my saying Kelly has a superior voice and that is why I purchased the CD. She is incredibly uplifting; however, the duets on the CD ruined my listening experience.
The portions of the duet ballads where she sang were great and those portions that were sung by other people were subpar. For example, I LOVE that song "God is not dead" up until the point Joe Ligon sings. Maybe it's my taste but I did not care for his voice or Vanessa Bell Armstrong's. I bought the CD to hear Kelly...not these other vocalists. Their voices were much more old fashion than kelly's. As a listener and fan, I would recommend that Kelly do all the singing herself unless she has the opportunity to work with singers like Whitney, Aretha
or other people of their caliber.
Not what I expected.......2007-05-07
We all know that this girl can SING!!! let's say that up front, however I did not like this CD. I think I was expecting a more traditional sound from her. With the exception of Healing, I did not like any of the songs on the cd.

Customer Reviews:
Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04
This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!
Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12
This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!
Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20
Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!
Frank's view.......2006-08-19
This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.
Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08
I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.
The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!
I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.
The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

classic album, 5 stars!!.......2006-10-24
This albums bangs from the beginning to the end with party jams and slow jams, an added bonus that he even raps on some of the tracks, I love songs on here like "It's Over", "Down On My Knees", "Don't Keep Me Waiting", "Back In LA", and of course the classic title track, Montell Jordan is a music genious, pick up this album right now if you don't have already!!!
masterpiece.......2006-03-12
"This Is How We Do It" will always be a great party or club anthem. It Samples from Slick Rick's "Children's Story". Alot of the other songs seem to be based on that same type of party flow. Overall, great party CD
Kool CD.......2006-02-24
About every track up here is hott but u got trackz like I Wanna & Coming Home that screw up da whole vibe b/e the trackz arent needed & their not good. Personally those 2 tracks gets on my nerves b/c how is singing & the beat on I Wanna & Coming Home but the trackz that are good is very good like Down on My Knees, Don't Keep Me Waiting, & I'll Do Anything(those are the slow Jamz). The other trackz are hott too. Another thing that i dont really like is Close the Door. Montell did his thing on that track(Close the Door) but i dont like the added stuff they did to the beaz & besides if i really wanted 2 hear that track I would pop on some Pendergrass...Nuff Said. Nice CD
One of the best songs but not one of his best albums.......2005-09-05
I'm an album person. I like the most of the album to be listenable. This album wasn't. It had 4 songs - Something 4,payback,daddy's home, of course the title track. I think he tried to implement "This is how we do it" into most of his songs. But if u like the 4 songs only on this albums. Buy all of his albums because this and Get it on tonite are the worst one!
This is the REAL r&b!.......2000-10-11
This is absolutely the best album ever made, This Is How We Do It represent the real party anthem and although Montell still is a great singer, his debut album remains his best work yet. This is a classic and nothing's gonna change my mind about it.

Since their humble beginnings in 1977 the Dirty Dozen Brass band has championed the sound of lowdown horns from the streets of New Orleans to the entire world. The band's first, long overdue, multi-label anthology takes music from ten albums and stuffs it all onto one disc, resulting in 80 minutes of the most lively sounds you'll hear this side of Bourbon St. From spirituals ("Just a Closer Walk with Thee"), to R&B (Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues"), Crescent City classics (The Meters' "Cissy Strut"), Charlie Parker covers ("Bongo Beep") and groove-happy originals, the horn, percussion and later guitar augmented outfit keeps the funk flames fanned. Greasy and fluid sousaphone bass parts by mainstay Kirk Joseph kick up the second line dust, while the punchy five piece horn section blows with the intensity of a Crescent City hurricane, both in unison and taking solos that move from soul to jazz and back again. These fifteen songs only scratch the surface, as the band's remarkable collaborations with Dr. John and Elvis Costello are MIA. The compilers, instead, successfully chose tracks representative of the group's versatile jazz and roots approach. It's nearly impossible to play this album and stay seated, and who would want to? The compilation captures the heart of New Orleans' most passionate and well-known brass band that finds the funk regardless of which genre they decide to delve into. --Hal Horowitz
Album Description
The first career-spanning collection from the quintessential N'awlins brass band!
For the past three decades, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band has taken the traditional brass band music of New Orleans, combined it with funk, jazz, gospel and soul, and introduced this special blend of the old and the new to the rest of the world. In the process, they've won the approval of not only fans and critics, but also the taste-making musicians they've collaborated with in the studioElvis Costello, Dave Matthews, Modest Mouse and others.
This Is The Dirty Dozen Brass Band Collection is the first compilation to include songs from every album they've released, including four tracks from out-of-print records.
Customer Reviews:
Brass Band.......2007-05-16
This was a gift and I've not heard it, but I know it arrived on time and in good condition.
Funk Perfection.......2006-03-18
This was my first exposure to the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to hear them. Their sound is a sort of perfectly realized funk: Fun tunes, energetic arrangements, and spirited solos. References to the rich musical traditions of New Orleans are ever present and give the music a richness and a sense of history, but this band always sounds fresh and alive. I'll bet their live performances are something special.
Since I wear my Ipod when I run and work out, I need snappy tunes that hold my interest - my current playlist uses more songs from this CD than any other in my collection - I think that's a good measure of the fun you will have with it!
Top-notch overview of their finest moments.......2005-07-19
The Dirty Dozen Brass Band have jammed with more bands than almost anyone else. Widespread Panic, Dave Matthews, Dr. John, Elvis Costello, the Black Crowes, Modest Mouse, David Bowie are just a few. The thing is, many people may not be familiar with some of the Dirty Dozen's own albums, many of which are now out-of-print. This brand new collection includes tracks from the ten albums released during the Dirty Dozen's 27-year career. The album kicks off with the classic "My Feet Can't Fail Me Now" and doesn't slow down until the closing track "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" from their Funeral For A Friend album. In between you'll find some of the most inspired and infectious grooves ever committed to disc.
Everybody digs New Orleans. Why not check out the best of the best New Orleans has to offer?
The perfect introduction!.......2005-04-18
I've got a few albums by the Dozen, but when I saw this in my local record store, I bought it on impulse. I'm sure glad I did. There are a number of early tracks I'd never heard before, and the selection from more recent albums can't be faulted. If there's any one essential Dozen album (most of them come pretty darn close), it's this one. Get it without "fail"!

Melba has got it goin' on..........2007-05-08
Most of today's R&B divas need to take it back and listen to some of Ms. Moore. After her departure from the contemporary R&B scene, most R&B music has been somewhat lackluster in my opinion. Ms. Moore took every song she had and gave it feeling, truth, and emotion. And don't even get me started on Paul Laurence Jones III, Kashif, and Van McCoy, with their superior production and songwriting! Take the music and couple it with Ms. Moore's urgent, soulful, velvety voice and you have some of R&B's finest underrated, hidden treasures. Personal faves: Love's Comin' at Ya, Take My Love, Mind Up Tonight, Keepin' My Lover Satisfied.
80's Soul At It's Peak.......2006-04-18
Melba Moore gave us some good music throughout the 80's. I love everything about this album. The Lala composition "Livin' For Your Love" is one of my faves! Sexy, funky and sleek! Get this!
This ain't it!.......2005-10-13
I love Melba's voice and many of her recordings but they never should have re-named this cd after the real THIS IS IT album produced by Van McCoy. Melba Moore did most of her finest recordings with McCoy which were not necessarily her biggest hits but splendid performances. It's too bad that the memory of Van McCoy (a great singer, composer, arranger and conductor) has been relegated to Disco because of 2 or 3 major hits that he had during the 70's. The real THIS IS IT album has most of his Melba Moore corroborations on it. Save your money for the real thing. This is not a good example of the BEST of Melba Moore.
At her best........2005-05-13
Melba Moore's Capitol releases from 1980-89 yielded a number of Top 20 R&B hits for her. The various producers she worked with (Paul Laurence, Kashif, McFadden & Whitehead,etc.) gave her many fine songs which showcased her vocal talents while simultaneously keeping her in contemporary R&B circles. While her recent CDs leave much to be desired, Melba Moore was a great diva in her own right and this is her best collection to date.
I still love this album 8 years since I bought the CD! .......2004-09-27
Melba Moore is still one of my favorite singers. I loved that 1982 to 1990 period of hits that she had! This album has her best music! I had never heard the first hits from 1975, but they were quite impressive, the starting point to a successful music career. I think that the trio of albums she did in '85, '86 and '88 are her best and it's well represented on this album. The rocking Read My Lips, the nice It's Been So Long, A Little Bit More, I Can't Complain, Love the One I'm With and others. One song I never heard that was a hit was Living For Your Love and she sounds fabulous vocally on that one. The first Melba song I ever heard was You Stepped Into My Life, that Bee Gees remake, and I still love that song. She could do disco quite good on that one, even though her forte is midtempo to slow ballads. The songs are well assembled here to show her many vocal styles on them. They're not in chronological order, but they sound good together. Perhaps her best performance is Lean on Me, where she holds that note for 22 seconds or so! She has a way with that voice of hers! The same way with Falling. Last year, I saw her sing on Beyonce's movie The Fighting Temptations. She still has it today with her singing and I hope that her venture into gospel goes well too. This album covers her music career very strongly and it's just a true representation of her talent.

This Is the Remix shows just why Destiny's Child is such a powerhouse: they have wicked songs that can survive almost any treatment. Not that the selections, culled from the group's three preceding albums, are mishandled here. The Neptunes aren't quite at the top of their game on "Emotion," but Timbaland's sexy remix of "Say My Name" is one of the best things he's done--and that's saying a lot. Despite too many rap interludes, the CD ends on a high note with feverish Maurice Joshua mixes of "Jumpin', Jumpin'," "Bills, Bills, Bills," and "So Good" that are simply fantastic dance-floor burners. The one misstep is the tucked-away "Heard a Word," a track from Michelle Williams's solo album. Still, this is state-of-the-art mainstream R&B designed to tide fans over until the triumvirate goes back to the studio together. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

This is the remix!.......2007-07-06
Ahh... the good ol' days of Destiny's Child! I loved them so much and was helplessly obsessed with them. (Well... I guess I still am.) So obsessed that I would get into verbal arguments with classmates that made fun of them or called them classless, etc. (Don't get me started on what it was like to be a huge Mariah Carey fan during the Glitter/mental breakdown period. Haha.) But I digress.
As a fan, I bought almost every maxi-single they ever came out with and I played them out. When Destiny's Child did remixes, they did them all the way. They re-recorded vocals, wrote new lyrics, and in the case of the Timbaland Remix of "Say My Name," they would create a completely different song. So when I heard they were coming out with a remix album, I was ecstatic.
Even though I already have most of these remixes (and even a few album tracks) on CD already, I'm glad that they compiled the best on one disc. And the amazing Neptunes Remix of "Emotions" was worth the purhcase alone for me. This remix album is an overall enjoyable experience and I still listen to it all of the time.
get of stage a review from kevin f.......2005-06-08
oh my god this has to be the stupidest remix cd i have ever heard it sucks they cant sing for nothing the beat i is mess up oh my god please pepole dont buy this cd
One of Their Best!!!.......2004-11-20
This is the Remix is one the best albums from Destiny's Child. The only problem I had was with the remix of Emotions, but nevertheless, the album was very good. I recommend that everyone purchase it. This album is proof of Destiny's Child's style and versatility. The album reinteraates Destiny's Child's vocal abilities and their ability to make their best songs their best songs again. This is the Remix is album is one I recommend to the ones that love to dance and groove. This is an album that you won't want to pass up.
Great remixes but missing something.......2004-11-03
If you own the Vinyl LP Record version of this album, it is missing the bonus track : "heard a word" by Michelle. This album has some of DC'S greatest hits remixed. This is a must buy
Excellent but needs more...........2004-10-29
THIS IS THE REMIX is a great remix cd overall.. i just think that they were being a little bit lazy... if they had the strength to release a remix album then bring new material not old turned new...
dont get me wrong.. this is one of my favourites by DC3...
my favourite song on here is "dot" the original was not that appealing at all until i heard the remix... this song is a constant in my cd changer in the car...
other car bangers "emotions" (neptunes), "bug-a-boo" (refugee remix) "no, no, no" (extended) w/ wyclef and "jumpin jumpin" (so so def).
I am not feelin the 'survivor' (extended) because 1. not extended at all, 2. da brat is not rapping as good in it, and 3. michelle's part is cut out of it (her part in 'survivor' is the best in the whole song). also, the 'so good' is not all that great. 'independent woman pt. 2' is the worst song DC has ever put out.
overall this cd is alright but most of the remixes are great, and most of all of them suck...
3.5= very average

My kids really like this!.......2007-07-30
My kids, 6 1/2 and 3 years, really like this CD. They LOVE "Cantelope" and "Look at me now" songs. I gave it 4 stars because they totally love the Toddlers CD she has, which has to be 5 stars. I love that too! So sweet and doesn't make you crazy like some other CD's I have to play over and over...and over.
Great for kids of all ages.......2006-06-29
I have seen Sara perform twice now--the last time with her older daughter along with her. She is great with kids and her songs are catchy, easily learned and have wonderful messages in them. Look at me....a song that all parents should listen to and every kid should learn to sing. This album includes all of her older kid material..it will have you singing, clapping and wanting more. The final song on the album is beautiful and bittersweet and makes for a great lullaby. It's a wonderful collection. If you have the chance to see her perform...it's well worth the effort.
Third in an impressive series of audio CDs.......2004-03-10

This Is My Time is sweet-faced teen queen Raven-Symone's first big-statement album: She's retiring the little girl fluff stuff, these songs seem to say, and trying on material mature enough to push her past CosmoGirl and Teen People's readerships into the grownup racks. If there's anything surprising to this, it's how well it works. First track "Mystify" is a shimmering Indian-influenced number that sidles up to the underexplored place where hip-hop meets smooth R&B; "Overloved" engages with yearn-and-burn vocals set to the wordplay of legendary songwriter Diane Warren; and "Grazing in the Grass," the CD's only cover, is playful enough to recall the old Raven but fits in here for its flirtatiousness--it intentionally invites Janet Jackson comparisons. In addition to proving it's her time to take on adult themes, Raven makes the case that stylistic zigs and zags don't throw her. If pop, dance, and R&B are her jumping-off points, she uses them to expert effect for an easy landing into rock ("This Is My Time") and the irresistible club jam that is "Bump." "I don't wanna be just typical," Raven sings on "Typical," a rock-influenced closing track. If there wasn't much of a chance of that happening prior to My Time, it's all but impossible now. --Tammy La Gorce

She deserves way more attention.......2007-07-05
I love Raven. And I love "That's So Raven" as well. She has a good voice, and I wish to see Raven on MTV, just like her label mates Aly & AJ, Vanessa Hudgens, Hilary Duff. You never see a Raven song playing on MTV, or hear her songs on the radio. Her album is really good. So is her new songs "Got It Girl," and "Green."
Truly a masterpiece for Raven.......2007-03-29
