Lipstick

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Alejandra Guzman, Mexico's premiere chica rockera, remains a vital and aggressive force on Lipstick, her second collaboration with producer Desmond Child (Cher, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Ricky Martin). Fifteen years into her ever-unpredictable career, Guzman is still searching for that perfect balance of rock 'n' roll spirit and pop sensibility. She seems to have found it on Lipstick which refines the sound she first explored with Child on 2001's Grammy-winning Soy, The prolific producer artfully reins in Guzman's wild-child delivery, surrounding her with glossy instrumentation that still has plenty of her trademark bite. The result is a sexy, smart album, typified in the title track. The song is featured in Spanish and English versions, both of which are perfectly suited to rock radio. Guzman also offers up "Hoy Me Voy a Querer," a faithful cover of underrated grrrl rocker Bif Naked's "I Love Myself Today." Lipstick also features writing contributions from Evan Lowenstein (Evan & Jaron) and "super-duper" soul duo Joss Stone and Betty Wright. In the end, however, it's traces of Guzman herself left all over this alluring, electric record. --Joey Guerra

Two years from the two-triple-zero and there's still a huge gap between the musical tastes of black folk and white folk. Case in point: Xscape. Despite having gone platinum and being two CDs deep (Traces of My Lipstick is their third), chances are that their music and names would register a big head scratch in most melanin-challenged homes. Part of that may be image--these ladies have been known to look a tad, uh, rough--or that the Atlanta-based group has been handed songs (usually by the unctuous Jermaine Dupri) that aren't as slick or pop-friendly as some of those other gals' hits. Not so on this CD, which finds the women mainly concentrating on sexy ballads, most of which have to do with playing around or being played on, and decidedly mainstream material like "The Arms of the One Who Loves You." Written and produced by Diane "That's a Hit!" Warren, the track is all blown-up passion and ersatz soul: all the better for breaking Xscape's strong and sultry harmonies out of the confines of black radio. --Amy Linden

5 out of 5 stars Prmopt and wonderful service.......2006-08-02

My order was shipped almost immediately. It was in wonderful shape and I was extremely pleased doing business with this vendor.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT CD.......2006-07-10

Xscape is definitely a group of talent females, their voices are so smooth & strong. When I listen to "Traces of My Lipstick" the lyrics often make me reflect about memories in my life, the ballads are so so true. I wish Xscape had a DVD with their performances.

3 out of 5 stars Ok...It's Ok.......2006-07-02

I really love some tracks in it,No.2.3.5...But the others didn't do anything to me...so,it's ok

4 out of 5 stars Amazing Ballads Make The CD Work.......2005-11-29

Xscape really matured with this album by showing their range and vocal ability. The song that really caught my attention was My Little Secret and the lead singles Am I Dreaming, The Arms Of The One Who Loves You but my favorite slow jam off is Sofest Place On Earth. This album finds Jermaine "JD" Dupri behind the boards for four tracks, including "All About Me" and "My Little Secret." Other producer/writers on the project include Diane Warren ("The Arms of the One Who Loves You"), Daryl Simmons ("The Runaround") and Babyface ("Your Eyes"). The vocals of Kandi Burruss, Tamika and LaTocha Scott and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle are mature, reaching far beyond the massive teen appeal that surrounds them. TRACES OF MY LIPSTICK finds the girls soft and sultry at times ("Softest Place on Earth"), while the Jeep-beat stomp of "Do You Know" shows their vocal diversity. With this brilliant recording, Xscape avoids the pitfall of urban music's "here-today-gone-tomorrow" syndrome by providing solid vocal performances of groove-steady compositions.

Before this album, Canadian singer/songwriter Fred Eaglesmith had been something of a folkie, but on Lipstick, Lies & Gasoline, he rocks out, making most cuts as much about rhythm as anything else. The opening "Seven Shells" is almost all rhythm--slow, insistent and creepingly malevolent. Whether singing about relationships that either fade away (the pathetic "Drinking Too Much") or explode into violence, Eaglesmith's typically dark themes are well suited by these new arrangements, so even when his character studies are too broad to be revealing ("Time To Get A Gun"), or when his insights are banal ("Alcohol and Pills"), their pulsing musical settings still compel. --David Cantwell

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars This Album is That Good........2006-05-26

There's a reason all of the other reviewers have rated this album so highly. It is that good.

Fred may be the best little known singer/songwriter out there. He's certainly the best I've heard. For most of this album Fred explores lives and loves that just haven't worked out--or in the case of the haunting Seven Shells, won't work out. The downside of everyday existence is presented with compassion, humor and underneath it all, a faint trace of optimism.

5 out of 5 stars An all-time great.......2003-03-31

Fred's previous releases like "Drive-In Movie(his best),"Things is Changin" and "Paradise Motel",to name a few, are considered classics by more than a few people. This disc is no different.A perfect mix of roots-rock,country and country/folk; the thing that distinguishes Fred from the other top-level artist is that this guy's songwriting is a step above most of 'em. What you get here is music that is not only timeless, but it hits you square between the eyes with their brutal honesty and heartbreaking melodies. He also cracks you up with his twisted sense of humor and he certainly has a way with words. This guy's in my top 3 in terms of favourite artists. A real maverick.

5 out of 5 stars Great stories from a great storyteller.......2001-09-27

Like a great story a great song communicates something about it's subject that strikes a chord in the reader or listener. The best songwriters are also great storytellers. In "Lipstick, Lies, and Gasoline" Fred Eaglesmith tells some great stories.

Fred's songs range in style from country to rock, with some folk thrown into the mix. "Drinking too Much" is a duet with Lynn Miles in the tradition of George Jones and Tammy Wynette while in "Thinking" Eaglesmith sounds like J.J. Cale.

"Alcohol & Pills" is a song about famous singers of the past (Hank Williams, Janis Joplin, Gram Parsons). "But fame doesn't take away the pain/it just pays the bills/and you wind up on alcohol and pills".

In "105", his ode to the thrill of speed Fred sings "I like to drive at a hundred and five/It's just how fast I gotta go/ I got the gears and I got the motor/ Ain't no reason to go slow"

Get this CD for some great songs, and some great stories.

5 out of 5 stars You Must Hear This CD.......2000-10-21

If you have any interest at all in Folk, Country, or Rock music you need to hear this CD. Imagine Springsteen channelling Hank Williams. Fred Eaglesmith is the best thing that has happened to music in a couple years.

Listen to the CD and then see him live. It will change your life.

5 out of 5 stars Dirt Road Driving Music.......2000-10-10

I always toss on this CD when I'm driving as fast as I can to get out of the city, out to where the wide open spaces and wilderness drown out the buzz of people all around me. This is driving music, and Fred Eaglesmith is a songwriter that knows what it must feel like to be on the road, and how good it feels to be leaving somewhere to get on the open road. From the picture on the back, of Fred and his band standing outside of their beat up tour bus, to the rumbling songs that

make up this disc, Fred is a guy that knows about moving on.

The opener 'Seven Shells' brings to life the visions of a western movie, then '105' opens up the disc with the refrain "I love to drive at 105, it's just how fast I got to go...", Amen to that Fred.

The powerful collection of songs on this disc, like "Thinking", "Pontiac", "Time to get a Gun" and "Water in the Fuel" are classic roots/country/road songs in the great North American tradition.

See Fred live, if you can, because that's where he really shines. If he's not playing anywhere nearby, get in that car and drive, brother...what have you got to lose besides a few miles and a few demons?

Their first E.P. was much more cute, but, this full length actually rocks. This album will grow on you like an extra few inches of manhood, it will improve your happiness.

    5 out of 5 stars Very Good Album/Very Good Band.......2003-05-09

    I heard this band at a bar in Dallas and loved them. I admit I was drunk. Later I got sober and I still loved it. I now own this album and it is getting constant play from me and others who have been made to listen to it in my car, many of whom have now purchased it on their own. If you like Good Albums or Good Bands, you will like this Good Album and Good Band. See them live. They are better than cheese.

    I stumbled across this CD and I'm glad I did.If you like great tight playing ,full tilt to beautiful melodic pieces check this out. Basically recorded "live" in the studio,with no overdubs apparently, and all instrumental. Great sound also!! I also purchased "Paradox" ( with Billy Cobham and Bill Bickford ) at the same time as this CD, they are very similar in style, although to me Jazz Pistols are more melodic in their style, and maybe? more accessible. Go for it !

    highlights are "W.W.D.Y.D", a little love song as throught the eyes of Doug Yule, what would he do???
    every song's a winner....BR>and to think, in less than a month, there'll be more!! along with a tour!!!

    4 out of 5 stars Beeing so bad never felt soo good!.......2002-10-30

    Simpple melodic and fun, fun, fun! Quirky lyrics and male - female vocal play allmost make you forget that they're singing about staying all night long and getting drunk. The perfect thing to listen to while you trash a hotel room. Their songs are deceptively simple and full of hooks that will suck you into a world of rock and role excess. If you liked The Kiss Offs then you'll love The Black Lipstick.

    4 out of 5 stars Rock & Roll Music.......2001-10-31

    I bought this because the two guitarists were in the Kiss Offs, one of my favorite live bands, and this did not disappoint. Less frantic & playful than the kiss offs, but just as clever and ROCK&ROLL. Kids will dig this long, long, long time...

    Album Description

    Subtitled - A Secret History Of. The Manics follow 2002's greatest hits album 'Forever Delayed' with a B-sides collection. Features 20 B-sides & 15 cover versions, the previously unreleased track '4 Ever Delayed' and live tracks. Epic. 2003.

    Customer Reviews:

    3 out of 5 stars Patchy, but that's what you'd expect.......2005-08-14

    The Manics, while producing some great music, have always struggled for quality control, with The Holy Bible being their only truly consistent effort which sustains top-drawer songwriting throughout. So it's pretty unsurprising that their B-sides and rarities album would be somewhat patchy. There's some good stuff here: notably the two 'new' tracks: '4 Ever Delayed' blends driving synths with an Everything Must Go-era anthemic quality to good effect, while 'Judge Yr'self' is simultaneously intense and accessible, like a bubblegum version of The Holy Bible, which is better than it sounds, and makes for an awesomely savage track. Of the B-sides, highlights would be the would-be single 'Prologue To History', a catchy, driving, piano-led rocker and 'Just A Kid', which is gorgeous and aching. Elsewhere 'Comfort Comes', 'Donkeys' and 'Sepia' are reasonable tracks, though they replicate the typical formulas of their respective periods. Beyond this, though, quality dips drastically, from the awful ('Socialist Serenade' - political Manics at their worst) to the simply boring ('Horses Under Starlight', an ill-fated attempt at instrumental chillout).

    The covers disc adds very little, consisting mainly of either faithful tribute band performances (their initial idols of Guns and Roses and The Clash: here 'It's So Easy' and 'What's My Name' respectively) or complete murderings (their savage assassination of Chuck Berry's 'Rock and Roll Music'; the sheer inappropriateness of James Dean Bradfield trying to do Paul Robeson on 'Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel'. Ironically, it's only when they drop their desire to choose trendy tracks and cover Wham's 'Last Christmas' that they actually hit upon genius, transforming it into a tear-soaked acoustic ballad that suits Bradfield's tender voice perfectly. In conclusion then, some interesting material for fans, but certainly not for the newcomer, and for all but the totally undiscerning rabid fan, wildly varying in quality.

    5 out of 5 stars 5 stars for disc one, 2.5 for disc 2.......2005-04-11

    This is a b-sides and covers compilation from the Manics. CD 1 contains the self-penned b-sides, and wow, are some of them great. Prologue to History, 4 Ever Delayed, Donkeys, We Her Majesty's Prisoners....the entire disc is as good a Manics album as you'll hear. Fantastic. CD 2 rarely gets played by me...some interesting yet painful-to-listen-to cover, including some uncharacteristic kitsch from the Manics. But this is worth it just for disc 1, so if you can find it, check it out.

    5 out of 5 stars A Feast for Manics Fans.......2005-01-31

    Disc One gets 5 stars. It's better than a lot of the songs that made the regular studio albums. Certainly better than 95% of Know Your Enemy! It's a MUST for MSP fans!! Disc Two is less impressive - mainly a bunch of cover versions - kind of fun, but by no means necessary. I'd give it 3 1/2 stars, but the first disc makes it worth it, and I figure the second disc is just kind of a bonus disc, so that's why I give the whole set 5 stars.
    Most bands don't have enough great B-sides and rarities for even one great disc, so this proves what a truly great band the Manics are! I am VERY pleased with this!

    5 out of 5 stars wow, their bsides are better than some a sides.......2004-11-06

    it was very surprising to me how good this album was, even though the manics are an amazing band, and they can do no wrong(sarcasm intended, know your enemy was pretty bad)anyways, the manics never really cracked the american market, probably for the better though, so i can have a band that I, and only I like. The songs here stand up much better than some of the tracks put on the albums these rarities were recorded for. donkeys should've been included on gold against the soul, instead of something like symphony of tourettes. same with sorrow 16, bored out of my mind, democracy coma, and strip it down, all of which would've been better on generation terrorists then tracks like damn dog, natwest barclay midlands loids, tennessee, or repeat(US). but then there are songs that would not have gone well on the albums, but stand up good on their own terms, like sculpture of man, would not have fit in well with the holy bible. the 2 best tracks on this disc though, seem to be relatively new:4ever delayed, and judge yr'self, the latter written, lyrically speaking, by the still missing richey edwards. in whole disc one is very good, not great. this album does not deserve the title of great. that is reserved for albums like the holy bible, the third big star album, or jeff buckley's grace. but this is a fantastic listen. the second disc is not even a good album, but just, entertaining. their cover of wrote for luck, by manchesters happy mondays is on par completely. better than the original. but the second disc isn't much. in conclusion, if you're a fan, you either own it already, or are starving to have it. if you're not one of the dedicated yet, buy it. it would be good listening for a beginners ears. this is one of the few pieces of manics music available here in teh states, meaning that getting your grimy paws on the richey era albums is a difficult task. but new fans, search for the holy bible. if you don't seem succesful at that, buy this or everything must go. thank you for your time and attention.

    P.S. tracking down the holy bible is worth the time and money.

    5 out of 5 stars Truth.......2004-10-15

    German, they are not recognised by the "official records industry" because of the topics they talk about in their songs. Specially, a hard critic against imperialism ("Slash and burn" , song that talks on yankee militarism 'from Somalia to Vietnam'). Another song example is "Dead yankee drawl" which title describes the racism and social contradictons in the US. Another one is "IfwhiteAmerica...".

    "Let Robeson sing" talks on the gallard black people activist Paul Robeson who suffered Mccarthysm in the 50's.

    Of course, I like and have some Oasis and Metallica disks but they have no and will never have the irony, efficacy and political direct songs MSP have.

    Indeed, Wales MSP is for me the best english-lyrics group. And it doesn't matter to me if yankees prefer to convert Brittney Spears in idol.

    I suggest you LA POLLA RECORDS, a basque rock group.

    5 out of 5 stars Hyper energetic & imaginative Jazz+Fusion.......2004-05-27

    This is one of the most important electric jazz albums of the 90s.Adam plays his keyboard like guitar player does.His solo approach is so amazing and fine.His sense of humor and touch of funkness is one and only.His unique play makes this album more cyber punk album.Moreover,Adam has a wide range musical approach and musical backgrounds.Maybe he is somewhat influenced by JAN HAMMER but he developed his own style and dug his own modern grooves.Adam knows how to lay out the color of sounds with good balance and with tense energy.That's the point I want to tell.Welcome to the CYBER ELECTRIC FUSION!

    2 out of 5 stars Jazzman jarvis wants jazz!!!!!.......2005-05-28

    I will be short and sweet. Push the rap and get back to more Starfish and the Moon. In his sleeve notes he States, be true to your focus and believe in what you do. I say, give the customers what they want A good jazz saxaphonist.

    4 out of 5 stars PUSH.......1999-11-29

    Billy Evans' PUSH has a wide range of style. I love the romantic mood that "If Only In Your Dreams," creates. I also loved the 40's Big Band (Swing) style of London House". I could have done without the Rap in, "Life is Dangerous," and "Stand up and do Something." Unlike most Rap I have experienced, the messages these Rap songs gives is a good one, but I'm not a big rap fan and I wish Bill could keep his Jazz and Rap on separate CD's . Still, It's an excellent album. and Bill did a wonderful job on the sax. I am very pleased with this CD.
