I am a LONG-TIME fan of Grammy® award winning, multi-platinum singer/songwriter Sarah McLachlan. She is supremely talented as a songwriter and as a performer and I’ve completely adored every one of her albums. I was beyond thrilled to receive her brand new project, Laws of Illusion, from One2One to review (the CD was given to me…but the opinions here are, as always, all my own). It’s her first studio album release of all new material in 7 years! And it delivers that amazingly intimate, musical experience Sarah fans know and love. Download the single “Loving You Is Easy” on ITunes and see why I fell in love with this CD.

For the 7 years that Sarah has been pretty silent publicly, her private life has been a journey through motherhood (2 daughters, ages 7 and 3) and more recently…divorce and recovery. The joy and the agony of that path are heard on this album. It’s the music of life…of a mom finding her way. Songs by a real woman FOR real women.

Tracklist:

  1. AWAKENINGS
  2. ILLUSIONS OF BLISS
  3. LOVING YOU IS EASY
  4. CHANGES
  5. FORGIVENESS
  6. RIVERS OF LOVE
  7. LOVE COME
  8. OUT OF TUNE
  9. HEARTBREAK
  10. DON’T GIVE UP ON US
  11. U WANT ME 2
  12. BRING ON THE WONDER

CD Review: Sex and the City 2 Soundtrack

by Monica on June 12, 2010

I know nothing about the movie, but the soundtrack for Sex and the City 2 is a big old blast of fun! A big THANK YOU to One2One Network for providing me with a CD to review. As always, you can know that these opinions are my very own.

The soundtrack  features a brand-new duet “Love is Your Color” by Grammy and  Academy Award® winner Jennifer Hudson, along with global superstar, multi-platinum recording artist and three-time Grammy Award nominee Leona Lewis. 12-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys performs her own extraordinary new version of the Blondie classic “Rapture”. Grammy, Emmy, Golden Globe, Tony and Academy Award® winner Liza Minnelli covers Beyonce’s chart-topper “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).”

But my favorite (because I’m geeky sucker for mens’ choirs) are the tracks featuring the Sex and the City Men’s Choir. Seriously, they sound amazing. I’d buy the soundtrack just for them. Well, that and hearing “the girls” singing Helen Reddy hit “I am Woman.” Pretty cool indeed.

Tracklist:

1. Alicia Keys “Rapture”
2. Dido “Everything to Lose”
3. Cee Lo “Language of Love”
4. Erykah Badu “Window Seat”
5. Natacha Atlas “Kidda”
6. Michael McGregor “Euphrates Dream”
7. Liza Minnelli “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”
8. Ricki-Lee “Can’t Touch It”
9. Alicia Keys “Emire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down”
10. Jennifer Hudson and Leona Lewis “Love Is Your Color”
11. Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim  Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon “I Am Woman”
12. Sex and the City Men’s Choir “If Ever I Would Leave You”
13. Sex and the City Men’s Choir “Sunrise, Sunset”
14. Sex and the City Men’s Choir “Till There Was You”
15.  Shayna Steele, Jordan Ballard, Kamilah Marshall “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered”
16.  Liza Minnelli with Billy Stritch “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye”
17.  Cyndi Lauper “True Colors”
18.  Aaron Zigman “Divas and Dunes”

Book Review: Eileen Goudge’s “Once in a Blue Moon”

November 11, 2009

Once in a blue moon, I get a chance to sit in a quiet place and have some uninterrupted time with a book. A book that has more than 10 words on a page. A book without full-color illustrations or cute rhymes. A book for grown-ups. Because these precious moments rarely come along, I am [...]

Music Review: Five for Fighting’s Slice

November 6, 2009

My first “experience” with Five for Fighting came during the months after the horror that was 9/11. John Ondrasik’s raw and introspective “Superman” was played often. It became a musical plea for hope during those awful times. I instantly fell in love with Ondrasik’s soulful voice. Besides writing and performing songs that speak to the [...]

Confessions of a TV-aholic (or How Fancast Saved my Sanity)

October 27, 2009

I admit it. I have a guilty pleasure. I am ridiculously addicted to several television shows. They are  my escape. The kids go to bed, I get their clothes and backpacks ready for the next day, and I watch TV. Problem is…the shows I love are on right smack-dab in the middle of dinnertime/bathtime/bedtime. We [...]

CD Review: Joshua Bell’s “At Home With Friends”

October 20, 2009

I was delighted when One2One sent me a copy of Joshua Bell’s newest album “At Home With Friends.” I  simply adore Joshua Bell’s passionate violin playing. This album is special. There is a casual, gather-with-your-best-friends, coffee-sipping vibe to this recording that makes me just want to push play and relax. And as if getting to [...]
