Album Review
With Bitter Sweet Blues, Gaye Adegbalola has produced an album that starts off where her work with Saffire the Uppity Blues Women left off, and jumps into a new, adventurous space. An expanded cast of musicians and more personal lyrics are some of the benefits to going solo, and Adegbalola makes use of both well. Each song has either humor or power, sometimes both. The only thing that seems incongruous is the mixture of songs with wildly varying moods and topics. While satirical woman-power songs like "Big Ovaries" are empowering and funny, when paired with "Nightmare" — a powerful, personal song about child m*********n — the effect is somewhat gross. The feminist politics of both songs mesh rather well, but it is difficult for the listener to shift from laughing at bawdy sexuality to somber empathy in just a few tracks. Overall, though, this is a fine first solo effort that resonates with spirit and emotion.
Customer Reviews
groovy
I was recently turned on to this artist with someone showing me "Big Ovaries" and "The dog was here first." I soon learned I loved all her songs. Gaye is intimate, bold, and honest in all her lyrics, which I find very charismatic, I now can't put her album down. A great artist that I hope iTunes will soon support more of her albums.
Excellent!
If you want sassy, funky, hip, and hot, this is it. Pay careful attention to the amazing artist. She rocks!
Great Songs
I loved all the songs but one the favorites one is " big Ovaries, baby" you should buy these musics.
