"Now & Zen" Norine Braun Review by; Len Rogers From start with "Jade" through track
fourteen "Move The Clouds", Norine Braun gathers all her tools
and more to the point uses them with expert delivery and style. Jazzy,
hip-hop, and a little punk thrown in for spice. "Now & Zen"
shows the broad spectrum of Norine's talent. Totally enjoyable and packed
with turns in genre. Notably is Braun's ability to vocally master these
genres with comfort and confidence. Spirituality is again an under riding
theme to "Now & Zen" as with one of her previous CD's
"Crow". Self acceptance, understanding, and exploration
are all a part of her message. Eclectic and bold, "Now &
Zen" is one of the most exciting CD's of the year. Another of Braun's
strengths is in the artists with which she is surrounded. All bring
together an unforgettable musical experience. |
from one distinct style to another. The music is at times haunting as in "Jade", then a 'stick to the ribs' catchy as in "J'en Suis Desolee".
Picking a favorite would be extremely difficult for this reviewer. However, the aforementioned "Jade", and "J'en Suis Desolee" would be among the top to come to mind. "Be Brave" is a compassionate song of emotion. Truly one of the most beautiful I have heard. The closing song, "Move The Clouds" is a self explorative, musically retrospective and jazzy journey into self, control and self exploration. Dealing with desires, anger, and self acceptance. A closing which in traditional Norine Braun flair and style will leave you hungry for more. Lots more!!!!
