Album Reviews
Angela Bofill's gifted voice has mellowed with age. Aesthetically, the New York-raised singer has never topped her first two albums on GRP Records. She did have a hit later on Arista, but the fans she won with that commercial joint were fleeting. She brought a bag of tunes with her to this project (co-writing all but one track), so the CD has an autobiographical slant. There are a few purple passages --"Love Changes," "Let Them Talk," and "Real Love" -- but not nearly enough. A variety of producers (including B Angie B) lent their skills but, if they weren't credited, you would think this was the work of one knob-twirler. An enjoyable but easily passed-over set. ~ Andrew Hamilton, All Music Guide

Dead And Gone T.I. Feat. Justin Timberlake |
| Encounters with the law, gun charges and more rap beefs than a butchers have meant that T.I.'s career has never been far from controversy. However on his latest single, 'Dead and Gone', the southern rapper shows his will to put his past behind him. Free of the shouty refrains that peppered his last two massive hits singles, 'Dead And Gone', sees T.I.'s rap much more focused and serious, inspired by the recent loss of a friend and an ongoing court case. The production too is a departure from T.I.'s previous singles favouring a cinematic style orchestra and piano combo to vocoder infused, club beats. Chorus duties are taken care of by the decidedly un-gangster Justin Timberlake; although the chorus line "The old me is dead and gone" could just as easily refer to Justin Timberlake's transformation from Mickey Mouse Club member to urban darling as T.I.'s reform to a law abiding citizen. All in all this probably lacks the punch to repeat the enormous success of 'Whatever You Like' and 'Live Your Life'; however you would do well to look out for the next T.I./Justin hook up, 'If I', which sees Justin return to his wanna-be Michael Jackson, falsetto disco roots with highly pleasing results.~Stephen Titmus~Copyright © Shazam Entertainment Limited 2009.
