Review
It s Your Love -
Melinda Doolittle -
Imagine Gladys Knight with Pipettes instead of Pips. That's the sonic stamp
on Melinda Doolittle's It's Your Love, the soaring, robust R&B single from
debut album Coming Back to You, expected in February.

The Tennessee singer, one of American Idol's most gifted rejects, finished
third in 2007 behind Blake Lewis (huh?) and winner Jordin Sparks. Her
sterling album, and particularly this soulful slice with its retro girl-group
vibe, reveals an accomplished stylist and nimble vocalist with an instrument
built for Motown updates and lush pop-jazz. Doolittle, 31, does a lot for
today's retro-soul renaissance. --Edna Gundersen

Product Description
Melinda Doolittle's debut CD: A combination of the fierce electricity of Tina
Turner's early years with the lush instrumentation of today s pop-soul
renaissance

從第一次聽到現在，滿分 100 分的話，我大概會給到 75~78 吧。
最大問題還是好幾首歌聽起來，都太過相似，也就是編曲問題。

另外就是翻唱歌曲太多了吧，如果一定要翻唱，
我寧願她把 Home 和 There Will Come a Day 拿出來重唱。
(How can you mend a broken heart 的錄音室我很滿意了 :P)

而且少了一首重點芭樂歌。這點太重要了。

又，據說這張專輯的樂器都是 live recording。


我想 Melinda 真的想要做這種唱片：Old School + Motown Sound
而以這種基調來說，我認為她有達成她的目標。
不知道市場反應會怎樣，祝她順利~
