5.0 out of 5 stars Spellbinding, Stunning, Sensational!!!, 3 Jun 2005
By dom (london) - See all my reviews
This is an absolutely stunning album, which I cannot recommend highly enough. Lizz Wright's gorgeous, soulful tones are just spellbinding and the album is an absolute joy to listen to. Lizz's voice is unparalleled in the modern age and it has already earned her comparisons with greats such as Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, with this album truly showcasing her phenomenal talent. A beautiful take on Neil Young's 'Old Man', original track 'Hit The Ground' and the title song 'Dreaming Wide Awake' are personal favourites, yet the whole album is bristling with tracks that are set to become future classics. Despite her early jazz and gospel influences, this is in no way a niche record. It has a far broader appeal; the subtle production, great songs and THAT voice (!) mark 'Dreaming Wide Awake' out as the must-have record of the summer. I was taken on first listen but this album grows each time I hear it, revealing hidden depths. Her exquisite vocal talent is simply unique - warm, rich and engrossing. If you have trouble deciding into which section of your collection this should sit, simply file under "classic".

5.0 out of 5 stars In awe!, 18 Jul 2005
Like a previous Lizz Wright fan, I was able to catch Liz Wright at a concert in London. I, like all who were present where blown away by her voice, presence and the sheer quality of her music. Lizz is able to use her gospel roots to underpin her blend of jazz / soul / blues compositions.

I then followed a few media reviews to capture further news and info regarding this woman. Specifically Michael valentine studio, a site that captures not only photography, but follows up with a review. I was able to relive the concert in full.

I agree with the similarities placed towards Norah Jones (especially regarding producers), but Liz stands on her own two feet in every respect. I hope she will return to London, as we tend to be a little starved of music with substance from time to time.

I am still exploring the Dreaming Wide Awake recording. I was so pleased with her debut "Salt". It took some time before I felt comfortable enough to take it out of the CD player

5.0 out of 5 stars class act, 3 Aug 2005
By Mr. K. Taylor "taylorkwinship" (near Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have bought both Lizz's albums within the last couple of months and she is a class act. I cannot reccommend her highly enough. I was dissapointed not to get down to London to see her recent performance. A very interesting blend of soul singer and singer/songwriter, with a voice like liquid caramel.
