Acoustics in performance spaces are rarely ideal, and the sound of coughs, shrieks, and "you had to be there" artist-audience exchanges can distract from the music. Chanteuse and songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins--best knows for '90s radio hit "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover"--seems to have been aware of these potential pitfalls, because she avoids them all on the soulful Sophie B. Hawkins Live. Culled from two shows in Seattle and Sydney, Live flaunts Hawkins' gruff yet strong voice, an instrument highly evocative of another bisexual talent: Janis Joplin. The songs are distinctive and catchy, ranging from the scat-rap "Mysteries We Understand" to the Joni Mitchell-influenced "California Here I Come." The New York City-born Hawkins, who has homes there and in Los Angeles's Venice area, comes off as somewhat crunchy California type, albeit with a healthy sense of humor, especially with the missteps she's taken in her long career. Hawkins has matured into a self-assured, and quite sensual, musician. When she proclaims that the tune "Sweetysexywoman" is dedicated to beautiful females over 45, it's easy to interpret that this consistently appealing talent could be singing autogiobraphically. -- Neal Broverman Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins first came on the scene in 1992 with her debut album, Tongues and Tails, featuring the Top 5 hit "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover". The mega-hit instantly became her signature song. "What better song to be associated with? It's still my favorite song to perform. It represents the part of me that rose up from the street, pure emotion." Her second album Whaler, which also went gold, featured the Top 10 Adult Contemporary track "As I Lay Me Down," the longest running single (67 weeks) in the history of any Billboard chart. Click on Sophie B's jukebox to hear clips from Timbre and Wilderness. Other Releases From Sophie: WILDERNESS Co-produced by Germany's dance-floor-savvy Berman Brothers (Amber, the Baha Men), Wilderness' best tracks match Hawkins' impressionistic lyrics and shape-shifting melodies against multi-layered cross rhythms and colorful splashes of horns and guitars. Wilderness makes a strong case for Sophie B. Hawkins' evolving talentsmajor label or no. - Paste Magazine Click to Learn More About Wilderness Click to Buy TIMBRE "The album showcases a singer who has honed and gathered her various vocal styles -- somber folk singer, saucy pop gal, note-bending jazz chanteuse -- into a sleek, multifaceted whole.....when Hawkins is on, she's on at full wattage: Her dusky delivery on the introspective, fiddle-and-synthesizer-driven "No Connection" evokes the smoked-up back booths of a hundred seedy bars; her percussive, slyly wicked rant on "The Darkest Childe" captures the coffeehouse ambience of a spoken-word artist at full tilt. - Rolling Stone Click to learn more about Timbre Click to buy THE CREAM WILL RISE "A hit at its Sydney world premiere,"The Cream Will Rise" starts as a fairly standard music docu but lurches off in an enthrallingly personal direction as long-forgotten secrets about singer-songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins' childhood are uncovered. For the most part, this is a bull's-eye first helming effort for Gigi Gaston, who sensitively captures moments of personal revelation, desperation and elation while playing more than 20 of Hawkins' songs. This unexpectedly compelling piece deserves legs beyond fests on music and other webs and, given some deft marketing, in theatrical dates." - Variety Click to learn more about TCWR Click to Buy The Original Banned Damn Video Beautiful Girl Video No Connection Video The One You Have Not Seen Click to View Live Videos Copy the info in the textbox to display images and banner on your page. ..; alt="" width="468" height="60" border="0" |
