Product Reviews of Polo By Ralph Lauren For Men. Eau De Toilette Spray 2 Ounces
Product Review: Too hip for the room?
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bird And The Bee are Inara George and Greg Kurstin. Inara has a voice like a pixie-ish angel, but both of them are multi-instrumentalists, and obviously highly trained in musical composition. Inara creates beautiful harmonies and choruses through the use of studio overdubbing. Kurstin is master of all things keyboard.
This new Bird And The Bee project, like the earlier album, seems to be aiming at a certain attitude, a certain style: modern, yet taking elements of soft 1960s pop music. They project a sort of wink-wink hipster ambivalence in most of the songs, except the final beautiful and heartfelt love song, How Deep Is Your Love.
I could almost make an argument that the group is an example of style over substance. Almost. The melodies, arrangements, production are astoundingly sophisticated and creative. Perhaps in this respect they could be compared to Steely Dan: great music, great production, sly attitude, but generally not aimed at touching the heart.
Still, these two musicians are producing some of the greatest pop music released this year. While the first album and this EP have been fun, I hope that in the future they can marry their musical talents to something a little more intimate and emotional -- like some of the material from Inara George's recent solo CD, All Rise. I have a feeling that what they've done so far, great as it is, entertaining as it is, will not wear well if they try to tread the same gound again on the next album.
Product Review: great EP...
Summary: 4 Stars
This EP's only real problem is that it's not a Full Length... It's everything that Inara George has ever put out before (as in stylistically, if you've heard her Solo Album or heard the Bird And The Bee's full length then you've heard this). The lyrics are a bit off the wall, but the first song "Polite Dance Song" is just that. A catchy dance tune that is very polite and courteous (though it does have some "dirty" aspects to it), "Man" is a decent track, I really like the layering on "The Races.," "So You Say" has a bit of a 70's dance feel to it, and the standout track is the Bee Gee's cover "How Deep Is Your Love". The B & The B cover of "How Deep Is Your Love" is fantastic. It is very soulful, stays true to the original with a very Bird and Bee feel to it, and has just beautiful vocals over a good sparse track... It's great...
Product Review: DOESN'T PLAY IN MY COMPUTER
Summary: 1 Stars
I'd really love to hear this, since I paid good money for it. However, EMI and Blue Note wish to assume that just because I choose to listen to my CD's at my computer workstation, that I am automatically intending to use something I bought from them illegally.
This disc does not have any warnings written on it as to what it will play on and what it will not play on. Neither does it have a "Compact Disc" logo on it. Wouldn't it be rather ironic then, if the only player at my disposal to use this disc I paid for turned out to be...a compact disc player?
I wish the Bird And The Bee luck in their future endeavors. I am sorry they do not want me to enjoy their music.
Product Review: BeeGee cover
Summary: 4 Stars
Great cover of the Bee Gee's HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE; very soulful. All around good.
