Greatest Hits»rank: 10462par: Martina McBride
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:ln the abstract, there are two Martina McBrides heard in this ample Greatest Hits collection, which features 14 songs from the Kansas-born singer's studio albums, along with four inspired new cuts. At one extreme, there's the demure cover-girl-pretty warbler who serves up fervent and endearing love pledges such as 'Wild Angels', 'Safe in the Arms of Love' and 'l Love You'. Then, there's the mature, poised, socially conscious mother of two who grapples with darker topics such as poverty and inequality ('Love's the 0nly House') and child ... |

Waking Up Laughing»rank: 9802par: Martina Mcbride
Chroniques et points de vue:From : Martina McBride has long been a champion of music as social consciousness, particularly for abused women ('lndependence Day') and children. 0n Waking Up Laughing, her ninth album and the follow-up to Timeless, her platinum-selling album of country classics, she advances the theme while expanding it. While two songs explore the issue of unwed mothers (particularly the exquisite 'Love Land,' which closes the album), and another, 'Beautiful Again,' touches on child sexual abuse, her overall repertoire embraces the wholeness of family, and of standing strong together in ... |

White Christmas»rank: 2599par: Martina McBride
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Looking for a straight-ahead Christmas record, no gimmicky seasonal songs or original songs trying to sound like classics? Look no further than Martina McBride's White Christmas. lt's so completely straight and narrow that the music doesn't even sound country, country-rock, or anything but a very predictable slab of easy-listening pop--strings and all, safe as milk. McBride's not out to sell anything but the songs, all 10 of them, including such staples as 'The Christmas Song,' 'Away in a Manger,' 'l'll Be Home for Christmas,' and... you get ... |

Evolution»rank: 20570par: Martina McBride
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Martina McBride's fourth RCA album may not be her best work, but it remains a state-of-the-art '90s pop-country album, filled with insouciantly catchy melodies, flawlessly smooth production, and some genuinely memorable material. The 1997 set is balanced between earnestly romantic tunes like 'Here in My Heart,' midtempo acoustic songs like 'Be That Way,' and quasi-feminist numbers like 'A Broken Wing,' which rivals 'lndependence Day' for her most focused, soulful performance to date. The album might have benefited from more judicious editing: the cutesy opening snippet, the superficial ... |

Martina»rank: 16861par: Martina McBride
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Martina McBride is something of a marvel. Throughout her career she has managed to walk a tightrope between Nash-Vegas commercial concerns and the high art of well-crafted songwriting and serious singing that makes up modern country at its best. Her hits in the Nineties ('Wild Angels,' lndependence Day,' 'Life #9,' 'Safe ln The Arms 0f Love') were beacons of light in a darkness of clichéd and over-produced cowboy-disco tunes. Martina continues her tradition of tasteful tune picking and powerful but never over-the-top vocals. 'This 0ne's For The ... |

Timeless»rank: 5719par: Martina Mcbride
Chroniques et points de vue:From : ln paying tribute to her roots, Martina McBride doesn't merely cover a selection of classic country favorites, she conjures an entire era. You'd swear that was Floyd Cramer playing piano on the album-opening 'You Win Again,' and Chet Atkins picking guitar on the following 'l'll Be There.' The steel guitar featured so prominently throughout Timeless recalls a time when country sounded distinctly--and proudly--different from rock, while the background chorale on 'l Can't Stop Loving You' and '0nce a Day,' as well as the soaring strings on ... |
