| Oh Mama (Track 5) is a track that is all over
the place and not quite sure where it wants to go. The chorus is fast and sure of itself.
Somewhere around :34 the track completely changes to a different note and slows down
considerably. It redeems itself back around 1:00 and them immediately at 1:23 recedes back
to a completely different composition. "You and I" caught my attention
immediately because of the gorgeous introduction of strings/keyboards. The track has
strong currents of strings quietly laid throughout creating the feeling of being
overproduced, but rather, just right. "One More Try" is a ballad, which is extremely well written and beautifully sung with a great melody. This tune is a great contrast with Evelyn's usual dances styles. Track 8 "Boys from the Land" is a rolling tune that uses as its centerpiece lots of hyper drum rolls with chunky elegant vocals masterfully placed for perfect precision. Track 9 "Wonderful Feeling" this songs heavy and thick keyboard sequences a warm feeling which equates to a trance like state - with Euro sounds no less, go figure. "When I'm Dancing", "El Cielo" and the dance mix of "One More Try" round out the remaining songs. "I Wanna Dance" covers plenty of ground for Evelyn, genre-wise. Hints of Hi-NRG, Euro, House and even some borderline retro add plenty of flair for this sophomore album. The vocals and lyrics (many of which were written by Evelyn) are precise and fit well with the inner workings of each cut. Given the wide range of songs on this album, this latest effort should cement Evelyn's status in the European dance market. |
