 Effortlessly flawless!! December 2, 2008

I discovered Alice Smith's music only last week, on the recommendation of a friend and wow!! Smith is a thirty year old singer/songwriter and her classy debut "For lovers, dreamers & me" displays her various musical influences; Jazz, Soul, Blues, Country and Rock, perfectly showcasing her commanding 4 octave vocals which critics have compared to Tina Turner's or even Billie Holiday. I would add India.Arie and Nina Simone.
Opening is the horn peppered Beatles-esque "Dream" with dreamy harmonies. "Woodstock" has a trippy guitar feel and a bouncy refrain, while "Gary song" is a piano driven song with snarled soulful vocals, and tempo shifts from insistent (Motown-like) to calm.
The Rock/Blues "New religion" finds her singing "Give me some new religion / Something that I can feel / Give me a new tomorrow / Bring it on and make it real", while the calm bass-heavy reverb-filled "Do I" has a heavy Reggae feel, and a smouldering, drawn vocal performance lamenting the end of a relationship.
The gentle "Fake is the new real" features quietly snarling stabs of guitar with Smith declaring "Bona fide is the old deal / Fake is the new real" (while taking a look at pop culture), while the piano sprinkled "Desert song" is heavily steeped in the Blues. The classy ballad "Know that I..." has a timeless quality. "Secrets" is an airy, jazzy ballad, while closing cut "Lost endeavor" has a lilting faint Caribbean feel.
There is so much sonic variety, each time a new song started, my brother would ask again "Who is this?" The album received a Grammy nomination in the Best Urban/Alternative category, and I know we'll hear much more from this incredible talent in the near future.
this voice is so amazing! September 2, 2008

the lyrics are amazing, but the voice is phenomenal. This girl can sing! I heard her for the first time watching a how-to-style hair video on YouTube. Amazing!

Sorry Mariah, Duffy and Alannis. The CD of the summer goes hands down to Alice Smith! Her vocals are nothing short of a natural phenomenon and if you aren't completely under her thrall by track 10, the dazzling "Love's Endeavor" then you've already expired and people are simply too polite to mention it.
Exquisite Authenticity and Vocal Magic! June 9, 2008

Heard of Alice Smith by literally looking up to see WHO IS THAT? while waiting for an appointment where a television was tuned to the Ellen DeGeneres show...what a VOICE! and STYLE...got this CD soon after and have grown more and more fond of each and every track over the past couple of months...Smith's voice is astounding and beautiful in the way it delivers fluid changes and stylizations effortlessly...Alice can croon and belt with astonishing ease, which makes for a delicious musical experience for the listener...and the lyrics--that's another reason [along with the voice] that I use the word 'authenticity', because you hear them and you feel the REAL...and it is so refreshing! You may be tempted to compare Alice Smith to any number of influences you'll pick up while listening...Ultimately, it is Alice Smith that wins out, uniquely and rightly so. This CD is a true favorite for more reasons than I'm able to share, and I suspect you'll have plenty of your own once you give it a whirl. enJoy! :)
BEAUTIFULL!!!!!!! May 19, 2008

OK..so I went to see Alice Smith last night @ the 9:30 Club in DC and I must say I was only familiar with 3 songs prior to the show...Do I, Woodstock, and Dream, but when she took the stage it truly became an experience.....she rocked the house!! I cant wait to see her again.. i bought a copy of her cd last night and now i cant put it down...my fave is Do I and Gary's song...I also love the lyrics to Secrets.....Anyone who's sleepwalking on this one needs to WAKE UP....I will definitely support her in the future. Can't wait till she comes back! Her voice is sicK!!!!! like you've never heard nothing like this before...i mean she walked away form the mic and i still felt every ote she belted out...She made it look EASY!
