Product Description
Album Description
As soulful as she is sophisticated in her distinctive vocal stylings, five-time GRAMMY®-winning superstar Dionne Warwick is a globally beloved music icon and humanitarian. Warwick first climbed the charts in 1962 with her debut hit single, "Don't Make Me Over," penned by Burt Bacharach and Hal David--she emerged as the foremost interpreter of their compositions, and remains so. Over the course of an illustrious, hit-filled career that's endured more than 45 years and spans five decades, Warwick has also become a true contemporary music legend. With the inspirational WHY WE SING, she builds on her legacy with a new studio album, following up a duets collection and her first-ever holiday music release. It will, no doubt, also remind us why we love Dionne Warwick.

Dionne returns with her first album of new material for some time; an album of gospel and inspirational songs "Why We Sing". First I have to say I'm a big fan of Dionne but know little about gospel, but here you will find Dionne at her soulful best singing music that is uplifting and passionate. Dionne's voice may not be quite as powerful as it was back in the "Heartbreaker" era, but she has the ability to interpret lyrics perfectly. The production and arrangements are all first class. She is accompanied by her sister Dee Dee on the title track, her son on the soul/pop track "Seven" and by a wonderful gospel choir on many of the others. Dionne's style and the elegance shines throughout this album. I find this CD is a refreshing change in style to most of my collection of soul and pop, try it.....you may just learn about Why She Sings!.

Given to me as a gift, this album is in my opinion the Worst I have heard in a while. I shall now be passing it on to someone else. Miss Warwick made a mistake having this released. I cannot say I like even one track. However as I said before THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION. Others might love it.

A Return to Greatness

Why We SingAs a lifetime fan and listener of Dionne Warwick recordings, I am qualified to make this statement. Her current release, "Why We Sing", is her best original content CD of the last 20 years. It's as good a work as anything from her musical heyday in the 1960's. Every song selection is top notch allowing Dionne's vocal gifts to shine and soar as the recording star that she is!
The songs transition divinely between various tempos and moods building upon each other till the grand finale. Dionne's patented brand of vocal seductress translates with great success to her approach to Gospel. The selected material sounds as if it were written just with her in mind to interrupt.
The title song is simply a standout as it is performed in harmony with her sister, Dee Dee. Anyone who's ever enjoyed a stirring Dionne performance or has a love of Gospel music should consider adding this to your collection. I'm sure you'll discover the love and sensitivity of a powerful vocalist singing praises.

Rise, Shine and Give Dionne the Glory!
14 April 2008
Format:Audio CD
Dionne Warwick is a true visionary when it comes to music. She can interpret lyrics like no other. Her ability to convey emotion through song is unparralled. In an age of shallow and uninspired music, we have this gem known as "Why We Sing". This wonderful return to greatness, for one of the most talented female vocalists of all time, is a joy to listen to. The music is soulful, uplifting and passionate. If you are a fan of great music or are just tired of the same old thing, do yourself a favor and discover one of the best albums Dionne Warwick has ever recorded.
