Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
In an era of fast-food divas and ready-made starlets, finding the genuine article is often as hard as finding a needle in a haystack. Anita Baker could not have picked a better time for her return to music. After a decade-long hiatus, the soulful songstress returns with her eagerly anticipated Blue Note debut, My Everything.

The 10-track disc doesn't disappoint. Lush, emotive, and gorgeous are a few words that come to mind when listening to the Toledo, OH native's album. Lead single "You're My Everything" opens the album with an infectiously smooth groove that reminiscent of her classics. The album also includes "You're My Everything Revisited," a jazzy interpolation of the aforementioned single. Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds joins Baker on "Like You Used to Do." The ballad, with its warm electric guitar-accented backdrop, evokes a classic R&B sound without dating itself. Other standouts include "I Can't Sleep," and the heavenly "Close Your Eyes."

If the album had any real flaws, it's that Baker's serene sound rarely wavers. Still, "My Everything" could serve as a tutorial to aspiring R&B singers on what it means to deliver music with style, class, and true artistry. --Rashaun Hall

CD Description
Anita Baker first garnered a big audience in 1986 with her second record, RAPTURE. A critical favourite with a uniquelyraspy, jazz-like expressionistic singing style, she scored a major pop and R&B hit with "Sweet Love". From that initialsuccess, Baker carved her own niche somewhere between deep soul and smooth jazz. After a few more albums she decided toconcentrate her passion on her family.
Following nearly a decade's hiatus, Baker returns to the recording studio with 2004's MY EVERYTHING, and, happily, very little has changed. She hasn't tinkered one bit with the sound that made her a beloved singer, emerging with a record both comforting andenrapturing. "You're My Everything" contains lyrics straight out of a WWII-era torch song, and a vibe that would have fit snugly on one of her first few outings. Although backed by a driving saxophone on the energetic gospel/blues number "I Can't Sleep", Baker fills much of MY EVERYTHING with sweetlove songs. She brings it all together on the closing track, "Men in My Life", a tribute to her husband and two young boys.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just average.I was expecting more..., 20 Oct 2004
By A Customer
I like her a lot,but this album doesn't convince me at all.
It's like a ..'clone' of her previous ones...Nothing happens here.The album is very tight(only 43 minutes of old stuff).
Buy instead 'The best of Anita Baker' or,if you are looking for something really stunning in the same category,the magnificent
'Lazy Afternoon' by Regina Belle in state of grace.

5.0 out of 5 stars A voice like melting chocolate!, 5 Jan 2005
By A Customer
I love Anita Baker's incredibly soulful voice! There are so many singers today that reach all the high and low notes, but don't put any real feeling into the voice. Anita seems to put her heart and soul into every single note and I totally believe every single word she sings. The songs on here are not quite as catchy as on her older albums, but they grow on you slowly but surely. Yes, she's kept her old style; but why change if she's found her own personal niche that perfectly suits her voice? Only artist with no style of their own need to keep up with latest musical trends in order to sell records...

5.0 out of 5 stars Back on top form!!!, 15 Jun 2005
By A. O. Stefanov "sashko_1" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being 22 I became a fan of Anita Baker through older fans and fell in love with rapture. This must be her finest work to date, polished classic Baker, fantastic, especially "Serious"; "How does it feel" and "Close you're eyes". All the tracks, however, are top rate. Buy it, and listen repeatedly, as quality music grows on you every time you hear it again. Well done Anita.
