CD Review: Amber - My Kind of World

Pop/Rock Recording Artist Amber, who has scored seven #1 Billboard Hits (and 3 more Top Tens) in her Career, including "If You Could Read My Mind", "This is Your Night" and "Sexual (Li Da Di)", is back! And she does not disappoint! "My Kind of World" marks the beginning of a new stage in Amber's career. Like Janet Jackson before her, Amber has taken complete creative "control" on this new project and the result is an artistic triumph with huge commercial appeal!

The first Single "You Move Me" hit #1 on Satellite Radio Stateside and went Top Ten on the Billboard Dance Club Play Chart. The follow up Single "Voodoo" is ascending the Billboard Chart with a BULLET!

Despite her success, Amber and this new CD are perhaps the Music Industry's best kept secrets. But not for long.

The Artist is a fantastic vocalist and the new CD is packed with tracks that are destined to become the biggest hits of her career! Fan favorite "Sacrificial Lamb" is a wholely original take on the familiar "Declaration of Independence" theme made popular by Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive", Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right, But It's OK", Deborah Cox's "Mr. Lonely" and, more recently Alicia Keys' "Karmastition".

And the Pat Benatar-esque "Just Like That" is a perfect Pop Tune that, in a perfect World, would propel the Artist back into the Grammy Spotlight for Songwriting (Cher's remake of Amber's "Love One Another" was nominated in 2004). "Just Like That" was a Billboard Magazine pick as the CD's "secret weapon".

In a time when music is increasing "disposable", this CD is a keeper. It gets better and better with multiple listens and it will sound as fresh and original 5 Years from now as it does today. Amber and "My Kind of World" deserve a place in the mainstream! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
