Anita Baker - My Everything
Audio CD (September 7, 2004)
Original Release Date: September 7, 2004
Label: Blue Note Records
Bitrate: 320 kbps

In an era of fast-food divas and ready-made starlets, finding the genuine article is often as hard as finding a needle in a haystack. Anita Baker could not have picked a better time for her return to music. After a decade-long hiatus, the soulful songstress returns with her eagerly anticipated Blue Note debut, My Everything.
The 10-track disc doesn\'t disappoint. Lush, emotive, and gorgeous are a few words that come to mind when listening to the Toledo, OH native\'s album. Lead single \"You\'re My Everything\" opens the album with an infectiously smooth groove that reminiscent of her classics. The album also includes \"You\'re My Everything Revisited,\" a jazzy interpolation of the aforementioned single. Kenneth \"Babyface\" Edmonds joins Baker on \"Like You Used to Do.\" The ballad, with its warm electric guitar-accented backdrop, evokes a classic R&B sound without dating itself. Other standouts include \"I Can\'t Sleep,\" and the heavenly \"Close Your Eyes.\"

If the album had any real flaws, it\'s that Baker\'s serene sound rarely wavers. Still, \"My Everything\" could serve as a tutorial to aspiring R&B singers on what it means to deliver music with style, class, and true artistry. ~ Rashaun Hall

Though I, like many of her fans, am glad to see \"La Baker\" return to the recording studio after a ten-year hiatus, I am somewhat disappointed with the vehicle chosen for her reemergence.

\"My Everything\" boasts the trademark \"moans\" and phrasing, so characteristic of the singer; however, the material on this disc shows very little growth from her last outing. On many of the tracks, she seems a bit trapped in a time warp, not daring to do anything differently.

The album gets off to a great start with the title cut but seems to stall with tracks 2-4, only catching fire with \"How Does It Feel\" (cut five). If all of the songs were of the level of \"Like You Used To,\" her duet with Babyface, \"Close Your Eyes\", and \"I Can\'t Sleep,\" then this would truly be five-star release. ~ Reginald D. Garrard

WORTH THE WAIT
Anita Baker is one of those rare talents who continues to improve with time. This CD as with everything Ms Baker has done is truly enjoyable and well worth the wait but I hope we will not have to for others from Ms Baker. I am glad she is back. Triple A
