Editorial Reviews :
It's hard to imagine two more talented hipsters than Floetry singer Marsha Ambrosius and emcee Natalie Stewart, a.k.a. the Songstress and Floacist. The U.K. duo's Floetic debut has it all--smooth R&B, soulful jazz, hip-hop, spoken word, supple ballads and a warmth that cradles the listener from beginning to end. In short, it's exquisitely, decidedly feminine. The pair occasional raise the roof with sizzling rhymes and beats, but they clearly place a premium on vibe, evident in Floetic's mostly chilled, after-dark feel. Jill Scott and Michael Jackson have already benefited from Floetry's deft songwriting; Jacko covered Floetry's 'Butterflies' on his Invincible disc. A demo version of that song is included here, but that's the least of the bounty. 'Hello' is pure honey with the women's silky voices braided in harmony while the dreamy, gently gurgling 'Sunshine' is like a soundtrack to a daydream. Comparisons abound (Lauryn Hill-meets-Dionne Warwick as scored by a blunted De La Soul maybe?) but perhaps the best description of Floetic yet unearthed is 'sass and soul.' And, at almost 70 minutes long, it's a steal.
Buyer Reviews :
I have had an advance of this album for several months, and I think this is one of the most BRILLIANT debuts I have heard in a while. Floetry is the London-bred duo of Marsha Ambrosius 'The Songstress' and Natalie Stewart 'The Floacist' (the songwriters responsible for Michael Jackson's 'Butterflies', the only hit that came from his 'Invincible' album). Together they deliver a soulful fusion of Soul and Poetry. Floetry blends Marsha's soulful voice with Natalie's thought provoking words and the product is a success that deserves to be heard by anyone who truly appreciates good music. From the hip-hop intro of 'Big Ben' to the sure fire dance floor hit 'Mr Messed Up',and everything in between, Floetry brings much needed soul to the airwaves. The lead single/video 'Floetic' is already a buzzclip on MTV and in constant rotation. Other highlights on the album are the poignant 'Ms. Stress' and the soulful 'Sunshine,' 'Say Yes,' and 'Hello'. EVERYONE I have played this CD for has loved it. This is one of those albums where you will play it from start to finish and want to press repeat. Floetry is to 2002 what Jill Scott was to 2000. I can not recommend this CD enough. GET THIS CD, you won't be disappointed
