Fusing R&B, pop, jazz, blues, throwback soul--hell, you name it--Keys delivers grandstand ballads (like the single "Fallin' "), midtempo music, diary-worthy lyrics and feminist funk as if they were all as uncomplicated as scales.
-
A record of glorious parts that are just too weighty, too emotionally complex and rich to hang together well as a whole.
-
Her aching sincerity’s another major plus; that she can get away with Caged Bird’s Stevie Wonder-isms and Fallin’s near plagiarism of James Brown’s It’s A Man’s World speaks volumes.
-
A distinct and oft-times brilliant debut from an artist who clearly has a fine sense of her creative talents and has struggled to make sure they are represented in the best way
-
Though the second half slackens with sad sack teen themes, ''Songs'' is a debut full of promise.
-
The singing is more mature than the self-consciously retro arrangements and sometimes thin sonics.
-
It sounds like she couldn't care less if anyone's listening.
