Editorial Reviews :
Blessed--or is it cursed?--with a visage that's a distinctly haunting echo of her father's, Lisa Marie Presley has either spent most of her adult life assiduously avoiding a music career or engaged in Machiavellian schemes to secure one, depending on your spin source. But here it is, informed by no small amount of tabloid-ready living (three failed marriages, including two bizarre years the King's daughter spent playing Princess of Pop to Michael Jackson) and a slate of modern record-biz heavy hitters. The album's first single, 'Lights Out,' is a countryfied pop collaboration with Glen Ballard in which the singer's tough, bittersweet lyrics obliquely confront the daunting legacy of her father and the Memphis where her 'family's buried and gone.' Her husky alto isn't the only thing that recalls Sheryl Crow; the bristling textures of Andy Slater (Wallflowers) and Eric Rosse (Tori Amos) are a veritable textbook of modern-rock techniques, wed to some smart cover choices that bolster her music's moody, introspective bent. But that gloss sometimes makes Presley seem like a guest artist on her own album, making one curious to hear her in the setting where her father was so often riveting: Alone in the spotlight. They don't call it the gene pool lottery for nothing
Buyer Reviews :
What an exceptional debut album by Lisa Marie. This album is drenched in trials of a tough life and heartache. With aching vocals and whining guitar melodies, she tells powerful stories through her lyrics. The best songs on the album are: Lights Out, S.O.B., The Road Between and Nobody Noticed It. The most interesting song on the album is: Indifferent, which has heavy influences of Garbage (Shirley Manson) with industrial chords and sounds, plus her vocal style matches Shirley Manson's in this song. The hidden track (better listen to the WHOLE ALBUM) is laid back and effective as a closing tune.
I'm very pleased I took an early lunch to run to the record store and buy this. I've played it three times so far and love more each spin...
Way to go Lisa Marie! You've found your calling!
