Fans are overloaded with Heather Nova's live material, but don't assume it's a bad thing. She's a performer with an amazing live presence. She has the appeal to reel you into her melodic soundscape of dreams and desire. Blow (1993) marked an artist in the making, while Live From the Milky Way (1995) highlighted Nova's growing confidence as both as a singer and a woman. While supporting her second studio album, Siren, Nova's Wonderlust tour mesmerized audiences across Europe. The live album of the same name captured Nova's mystical magic at a gig in Koln, Germany, during a November evening in 1998. She sifted through classics such as "Walk This World" and "Sugar," charming the crowd with her angelic vocals and sweet stage persona. "Heart & Shoulder" and "I'm the Girl" were Nova's heavier rock moments of the night, but her homage to Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire" takes on new life. With its country-like sweetness and Nova's grainy acoustic guitar, Wonderlust is merely a record for those who adore her so much. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide

If I Were A Boy Beyonce |
| As far as pop stars go, Beyoncé can be granted supernova status; enjoying a never ending period of constant expansion. Maybe that's why she now feels obliged to introduce an alter ego and name her imminent double CD "I am Sasha Fierce" after it. The album is supposed to show two opposite artistic sides: with Beyoncé focusing on the mellower, ballad-singing, aspect of her personality and Sasha showing the, eerm, fiercer, sophisticated dancey glamour. "If I Were A Boy" belongs to the old-fashioned former and, on paper, it sounded like a female answer to Prince's gender bender classic "If I Was Your Girlfriend." But despite the promising premise, its rather dull lyrics,never far away from cliché land, are nothing like the purple genius' spicy machinations. Drinking bear, chasing girls and trying to understand how a woman feels to become a better man it's all the Destiny's Child would like to do if she was indeed a boy. Ballads have never been Beyoncé's forte, so it doesn't take much thought to guess which side we're likely to prefer. Bring on Sasha Fierce!! | |
