Search - Amber Whitlock :: The Colours Of Life

Amber Whitlock's The Colours of Life spans the gamut from a Sting like jazz/ Pop to a Chaka Khan like setting, all the way to and including sentimental heartfelt ballads. This CD has been featured in Bass Player Magazine's April 2006 issue. On keenly-crafted R&B/pop songs like the title track, ?Until Now? and ?Queen of Mediocrity,? the musicians are provided the opportunity to play a variety of styles that challenge the listener with rich textures & rhythms, while Amber delivers poignant and touching lyrics in the Joni Mitchell tradition. Housed in an aesthetic soft cover with striking artwork of paintings and drawings throughout, including the sixteen page lyric booklet inside, there is plenty of eye candy to go around. For the video inclined, there is an enhanced portion of the CD, depicting the making of this CD with photos & sketches of the recording sessions and events surrounding the making of the recording, in an animated video format. Ms. Whitlock's delivery of these musical selections is world-class and can be enjoyed by jazz aficionados as well as the average listener.
