About Judy Torres
Determined, is the best way to describe the beloved and enduring dance-pop singer, Judy Torres. Blessed with striking good looks, a powerful and flexible voice and the strength of mind and character achieve her goals, Judy Torres has beaten the odds that have worn down many of her '80s contemporaries. While many of the dance artists of the '80s have faded off into oblivion, Torres has expanded her goals to include not only a successful music career, but also musical theatre and a feature show on New York's highly regarded radio station, WKTU. Torres began her career at the tender age of seventeen and set out with a tour de force via the vehicle entitled, No Reason to Cry, a freestyle classic. The album from which this track was taken, Love Story, firmly established Torres as a prominent figure in the dance/freestyle circles. Her follow-up, My Soul, showed a greater development of voice and focus of musical style. Love You for All Seasons pushed Torres into the mainstream to a receptive, but limited audience. Currently, Judy Torres is working on a new project, expanding her career aspirations and continuing to be a familiar face on the club performing circuit. ~ Jaime Ikeda, All Music Guide

Dear Science TV On The Radio |
| On the way to be established as the best American band of the decade, TV on the Radio's third album has arrived surrounded by five star reviews. Good news is the music totally justifies this level of hype. The Brooklyn-based combo has not abandoned their experimental nature; albeit "Dear Science" sounds deliberately shinier, funkier and more accessible than its, already polished, precursor "Return to Cookie Mountain." Lyrically, though, is quite a darker proposition. Many see on its tone a suitable metaphor to describe their country's collective mood, demoralized and confused, right at the end of Bush's presidency. The band's eclecticism is on full display: electro hooks next to D&B touches; shoegaze's atmospheric layers mixed with post-rock's bass lines via P-funk, often all in the same song. This sonic fusion can be as impressive as disorientating; rich and dense, but also the key that makes TV on the Radio's work improve with repeated listening. Main vocalist Tunde Adebimpe, often helped by guitar player Kyp Malone on second vocals, appears as a sort of missing link between Peter Gabriel and Prince; whereas David Sitek recently turned into producer du jour, applies his multi-instrument playing skills. Members of Antibalas guest on horns, highlighting the romance a new generation of US bands is having with African music. Celebration's Katrina Ford also helps in the mighty single "Golden Age" and the ballad "Family Tree", another of the album's many standout moments. . | |
