专辑介绍

by Jason Elias

As one of the premier pop/R&B singers with a singular voice, Dionne Warwick's list of hits includes &Are You There (With Another Girl),& &Once You Hit the Road,& and the often nerve-racking &Heartbreaker.& As she racked up the singles, Warwick fans also realize she has also released fulfilling albums through the years, including 1975's Track of the Cat and her 1979 comeback effort, Dionne. Dionne Sings Dionne is also a strong effort. While including new tracks, the bulk of Dionne Sings Dionne consists of reconfigured versions of her '60s work with Burt Bacharach and lyricist Hal David. Although many talented singers have come up empty when reviewing their classics, Warwick seems to be having fun here and deftly reexamines her oeuvre like only a handful of artists could. The '80s Earth, Wind & Fire-styled production values boost &Reach Out for Me.& The song also features the Emotions, DeBarge, and the talented El DeBarge, who has some great chemistry with Warwick. &Say a Little Prayer& gets a casually elegant quiet storm reworking, with the rasp of Warwick's voice coming through loud and clear. Along the same lines, the always sweet Bacharach and David gem &All Kinds of People& is just as steady, with Warwick now bringing a sense of wisdom to the lyric where there once was hope. A new track, &Be My Neighbor,& features Tyrese. With a lyric expressing that Warwick is desired by Tyrese as a surrogate mother who can offer advice, it comes off apt and sweet. Although at first this does seems haphazard, Dionne Sings Dionne is a fun and skilled effort.
