After following up on articles about Goldie’s new album, I
finally got around to listening to it yesterday.
Like I said, I was troubled by personal financial matters
and I needed an escape desperately, so as I called my publicist to vent out my
frustration, she recommended a dose of Goldie’s art and insisted I get a copy
of her new album and see if it would cheer me up.
Hmmmm.
Well, I had no choice at this point cos I was sure anything
was better than staring at my ceiling. When I got the album, I had planned to
spend just an hour with it but I ended up spending the whole day blasting the
music so loud that my floors vibrated.
I think I have found good company for the weekend!
Oh yes! That is how beautiful Goldie’s “Gold Reloaded” album
is. It moves from very funky songs to sweet love songs, like a blanket it
soothes you. I really did get a trip just playing some of the songs over and
over again.
I have a few favourites already. The first song on the
album, “Don’t wanna leave” is just a warm song. It doesn’t make you sad, it
just keeps your heart beating, and wanting with the hope of getting. It’s
positive and cheery and speaks to our heart.
Then I like “don’t touch my body” the remix of the song in
this album is pure magic.
“Say My name” I have heard on radio many times and it is
indeed a great song. I also like “Point and kill’, she did that with Kas. I
hear BankyW’s voice on one of the tracks, and another track “DJ Play on” is so
cool.
I’m not exactly a music critic or anything close, but as a
consumer, I can tell what good music sounds like.
It’s always inspiring when you see women conquer their fears
and make good their talent.
Well done, Goldie!
I’m already in the weekend mood, and apart from Goldie’s
nice album, I’ll be re-playing Flavour’s ‘catch cold’ and Omawumi’s “bottom
belle”.
All the songs I love!
So, what songs do you like?
Have a day filled with music in your heart *wink!
