I also picked it up, Victor, and I'm with you - I haven't really listened to it a lot yet, but I DO love the sound of it. Reminds me of the "feel good" sound of the 70's Stevie Wonder stuff. And she released 16 tracks, pretty impressive for a follow-up. I hope she's still around to enjoy people saying "Alicia WHO?" ;~)
Also out this week - Beck's "Sea Change", which I got based on the early reviews. What an interesting record! Very ethereal and moody, sounds like Nick Drake sings the Pink Floyd/Radiohead songbook or something. Have never been that into his stuff but couldn't resist this one and I like it a lot. And to top off the week's 'Hat Trick", Ryan Adam's AWESOME new one "Demolition". More drop dead gorgeous ballads, and rockers ala The Replacements. Could writing great songs really be as easy as Adams makes it seem to be? I listened to a buddy's copy, hoping to get my copy soon! ;~) So much great music - so little time!
