Latasha Lee's Single: 'Get Away' is a superbly performed, Ethnically Influenced, Retro Work with its roots in Mid 20th Century American Popular Music. The song's style is a direct descendant of late 1940s ( esp the Fifties )into the Mid 1960s Doo-Wop Style of Music made famous( initially) by Black American Artists. Strictly speaking Doo-Wop is probably more associated with Acappella( singing without instrumentation) of several very popular Male Groups and Vocalists-- The Marcels, Little Anthony & the Imperials, Shep & the Limelites , The Platters, The Capris and many many more) but Female Vocalists eventually made their mark as well, The Shirelles, Rochell & the Candles, Kathy Young & the Innocents and likewise many others. The main thing all of the aforementioned groups/individuals have in common was a fabulous manner of harmonization that was the forerunner to Rock, Soul and R &B. Latasha's Single demonstrates elements of the style perfectly. Yet this is only the beginning of the Great Things found in the work. Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick and many other 'Divas", who came in the next Musical Wave in the 1960s had power and sentiment in their vocals that also included more instrumental accompaniment and greater musical range/variety--this too is found in Lee's album. This is a long review for a single song but the music is definitely worth the mention and more importantly hearing.

Je ne suis pas fan de ce style musical en général. Néanmoins, beaucoup de points positifs, à commencer par une voix très "soul" et envoutante. Une petite inspiration vers Duffy ? Coté son, là encore c'est très bon : c'est bien calé, propre et entrainant. Au final, je dirai que c'est un album aboutit, avec de la voix et donc de l'émotion ressentie à l'écoute, mais un peu trop conventionnel, qui sonne comme une légère impression de déjà vu. Le prix du sérieux sur l'autel de l'originalité ? Cependant, l'artiste sait se démarquer avec un tube qui plait bien, avec au final quelque chose qui reste en tête : c'est l'important sur Jamendo! A quand l'album ?

I really did feel as thou I had step back in time tothe 60s. IN some state in America in some highway restaurant, that I had stopped off, to have something to eat. On my travels to visit family and friends across state. And some one put this track on the old jukebox. And everyone in the places. Sits back, smile and has a great time. Just listening to this girls sweet, infectious, loving, voice.

It's been a surprise to find such a good voice in here. Really good, smooth and sexy R&B. I hope she keeps on, and surprises us again with an album :) Good work!

This is classic 60s girl group sound! When I find a song and an artist like this it makes all the time I spend sifting through the stuff on Jamendo that I really don't want worth it. Make no mistake, this girl can sing. Great R&B. I can't wait to more like this!

Good singer with a lot of motown-feel. But remember, it´s march 23rd in 2011, get a watch with a date-display... sorry, good stuff, but I would like to see something special up do date with more personal influence from you as a singer/composer/producer.
