Grammy-winner Ann Nesby, who initially made her mark as the lead vocalist for the legendary Sounds Of Blackness, has emerged as one of the great R&B singers of our time as evidenced by her acclaimed solo albums. She has also written hit songs for Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight, dueted with Sting on the Demolition Man soundtrack, scored multiple dance hits and appeared as a guest vocalist on Boney James’ most recent album. This Is Love, following the successful In The Spirit - the sole gospel release of her career - returns her to the powerhouse inspirational R&B sound of her bestselling releases. All songs are written or co-written by Ann, included is material tailor-made for urban radio as well as one track that will reacquaint Ann with her hardcore dance floor following.

EXCELLENT - Many have said they sometimes forget about Ann Nesby and I must admit I do as well. She releases cds very infrequently so it is easy to do. Like everyone else luckily I came aceoss this one. YEAH ! MS. NESBY HAS A NEW CD !!!!!!!!!! I own all of her solo work and love them all. I hate the comparisons to Aretha Franklin. Yes, they both have big, powerful voices but for me Ms. Nesby is much more emotional and has a larger range. She hits those big notes with ease and power, not yelling as Aretha often does.Whether hip hop, pop or pure r@b, Ms. Nesby is the real thing. A cd from her is well planned and an event. Her vocals soar and give you a lstening experience you will never forget.For me there are no misses on this exceptional cd and I highly recommend it.

Heard her sing live on Steve Harvey s Morning Show - She was incredible. Steve said she was the singingest singer ever on his show and he s right. She s amazing and I ordered several for stocking stuffers. This is real music as Steve said.

True R&B - Ann Nesby has her own style and one can hear the influence of Ms Aretha Franklin in her voice as well. Great CD that makes you get into what music is suppose to be.

BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT!!! - Miss Nesby turns it out again on This is Love, her most consistent disc since her Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis produced debut. Ironically, I discovered This is Love when I was shopping for the new Chaka Khan - a slamming CD produced by none other than Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. In any event, Miss Ann has put out a collection that gives Miss Khan a run for her money, her voice tender but strong, experienced by never jaded. Standouts include the strutting Tables Turn, the pumping opener I Can t Explain It and dancefloor throwdown It s So Easy Lovin U. Spectacular...

Quality inspirational soul - I first took note of Ann Nesby in the movie, The Fighting Temptations. (Which actually was a pretty decent film, in my opinion.) I saw this album in the store a few days ago and I decided I should probably give her a try. I scanned the barcode into the machine and a portion of the first track, I Can t Explain It, came on. I instantly fell in love with the song, it was a breath of fresh air, the lyrics were simple, but beautiful and the chorus was quite catchy. I walked away with the album in hand while the other samples ran, knowing that I would be pleased with my purchase, even if that was the only song I liked. But, of course, I ended up loving the entire album. This Is Love is not necessarily a gospel album since there is only about one reference to God, but the music and her voice are definitely highly influenced by the genre. (I suppose that s why the sticker on the front advertises this as inspirational soul.) The subject matter and lyrics are about the ups and downs of relationships/marriage, family and just plain real life. The perspective of these subjects comes from a woman with Christian values and inspirational intentions, but that doesn t mean this is a ten-track I-love-my-man, we re-perfect fest. Songs like Tables Turn and I Apologize speak on leaving a no good man and asking forgiveness from a spouse.The production is very simple, but it is also superb. It s very musical and has live instrumentation (trumpets, strings, etc.), resulting in an overall real, raw and sincere tone throughout the album. Ms. Nesby s voice is breathtaking. It is booming and powerful, but also very emotive. On each song, she offers a heartfelt delivery. The songwriting is quality. This album is not without flaws, though. The club-inspired production of It s So Easy Lovin U is pretty bland. The songs goes on a bit too long and feels a bit out of place. I would ve preferred See U Cry to be a bit more complex and dynamic, especially since it s the closing track. Last, I wish it were longer. With ten songs and clocking in at 44 minutes, it left me craving for more. Still, Ann Nesby s third effort is a very enjoyable one. It is quality inspirational soul. If you are a gospel fan, or just need some uplifting music to listen to, you have found the right CD.
