+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
Dionne Warwicks singing is a unique version of urban pop not jazz, although it
is jazzy, and not R&B, although it has soul and sway, and not rock or blues,
although her voice can ache with a weary intensity. Matched from the early 60s
through the early 70s with the songwriting team of Burt Bacharach and Hal
David,
she produced numerous hits, including 'Walk on By', 'Alfie', 'I Say a Little
Prayer', 'Do You Know the Way to San Jose', and 'I'll Never Fall in Love
Again',
among others. If she isnt critically regarded as a legendary icon in quite the
same league as Aretha Franklin and other contemporaries, it's really more of a
style thing, perhaps because Warwick isn't really a fiery gospel shouter. Be
that as it may, Warwick has sold over 150 million records through her
five-decade career, and placed nearly 60 singles in the Billboard Hot 100 over
that time, so she obviously knows what she is doing. This set, her 28th studio
album, includes tracks variously produced by Swizz Beatz, Jack Splash, Jesse
Corporal Wilson, and her son, Damon Elliott, whose new label, Bright Music
Records, is home for this project. It's essentially a duets album that takes a
look both forward and back; Warwick is paired with a wide array of guests
Alicia
Keys, Ne-Yo, Stevie Wonder, Cyndi Lauper, Gladys Knight, Jamie Foxx, CeeLo
Green, Ziggy Marley, Eric Paslay, Billy Ray Cyrus, M²a, and Warwick's
granddaughter Cheyenne Elliott among them on revisited versions of some of her
hits. Led by the lead single, a new version of 'A House Is Not a Home' that
features Ne-Yo (an extended version of the single is also included here),
Feels
So Good doesn't break new ground so much as it affirms and reaffirms Warwick's
quiet stature as a steady and urbane pop singer who has never really bothered
to
follow the music industry's trends and fashions. She just sings elegantly, and
it appears to have gotten her through the decades just fine.
