Ant Boogie's Music Review-"A Fine Time" by Joni NehRita
I met Joni Neh Rita on MySpace about a year or two ago and I was moved by the voice coming out of such a petite young lady. Talented, yes..gifted, yes.
So I waited for a long time for her to release her cd. I would visit her page periodically and leave a comment like, "ummm. when's the cd coming out?"
She would reply back and tell me soon. So, patiently I kept waiting.
Well, her cd is finally out. Was it worth the wait? YES!
"A Fine Time" by Joni NehRita is an indi artist masterpiece. No, there's not a lot of "new" ideas here, instead there's a lot of fresh takes on the idea of recording and releasing original GREAT music! NOTE:Please pay heed a lot of you major label artist!!
Her well crafted melodies and lush vocal arrangements along with the superb musicianship found on this release makes it a must for lovers of the great soul/pop tunes that remind a listener of the period when music was music and not just background filler.
She's quite the vocalist as well, reminding me of the Minnie Riperton's, Stephanie Mills' and Shanice Wilson's of days gone by. Joni seemingly glides through each song with very little effort as one can tell she has taken time to perfect her craft. Joni handles all lead and background vocals on the disc as well as keys and programming on a few of the tunes.
Clocking in at a few minutes past 40, the 9 song set will have you pressing rewind while taking that long drive with the top down and the music blaring. Wear your shades, these are sunny, bright tunes that will make you feel good!
HVM Choice cuts include the opener "How Can It Be?" , the funky and infectious "You Left", (which is in heavy rotation on the MP3 player), the 80's styled "How 2 Get Thru" the Erykah Baduish "On My Way" and the reggae tinged "The Way Of The World".
All in all I'd give this cd a definite 5 out of 5 stars. Joni has a bright future ahead of her.
You all can visit Joni at www.myspace.com/joninehrita or purchase her cd at www.cdbaby.com/joninehrita.
I guess after waiting as long as I had it is indeed a fine time!
