Internationally-renowned singer and actress Vanessa Williams released her thirteenth album this week appropriately called THE REAL THING. The collection marks a return to her love for the rhythms of jazz and Latin music, a key part of her musical roots.
THE REAL THING delves into the sophisticated pop and R&B that have been the hallmark of her dynamic musical career. Her sound is angelica and passionate. I love playing the Williams CD while I work at my computer – I am taken to another fanciful place, its endearing.
THE REAL THINGis a passionate song cycle about relationships, and Williams hand-picked each song on the record as it relates to a phase of the modern-day love affair seen from a woman’s perspective. From the two new songs penned for the CD by Babyface (”Loving You” and “Just Friends”) to “Hello Like Before” by Bill Withers (Williams’ late father’s favorite artist) to Stevie Wonder’s “The Real Thing” to Bebel Gilberto’s “Close To You,” THE REAL THING taps into the wide breadth of Williams’ musicality and artistry.
You’ll find THE REAL THING a soulful journey to serenity.
