Music for me, is a complex thing, i guess to outsiders anyway. Luckily for me i am not oblivious when it comes to genres. I can quite happily listen to Godsmack and next switch to Jeff Buckley.
The only thing i try and keep fluent in the "Mellow Mixes" is consistancy in style and sound so it flows like a movie. Once this volume is finished, then you will see what i mean.

Des'ree attracted me by her voice, the way it rapes your soul with tone & pitches, high & low, till it goes further than just your ears "feeling" it. Ahh see, told you it was complex.

On her third album of adult R&B, new age princess Des'ree offers up more musical self-help tips and self-esteem makeovers for the chronically lovesick and spiritually downhearted. And while there's nothing as peacefully sublime as "You Gotta Be" (from 1994's I Ain't Movin') on Supernatural, the listen is a soothing one. Credit Brit Des'ree herself for this; her voice -- a reassuring tool that envelops everything around it -- has never been better. Working her softened tones around the mostly forgettable material (many of the songs try to rewrite "You Gotta Be" by essentially sticking with the same formula of making sophisticated urban soul), she creates a melodic new-age tone (complete with a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Fire") that may not stick with you a lifetime, but it sure feels like the most tranquil place on earth for its 50 minutes. ~ [Michael Gallucci, All Music Guide]
