REVIEW: The Caterwalling Diva "Spirit"

At last, a singer of such outstanding ability to match Mariah Carey's interesting interpretation of singing. The music industry has long awaited another reality-show export to saturate the world with their songs steeped in the honey that is sweet sweet commercialism.

Of course, I am talking about none other than Leona "will she be more than a two-hit wonder?" Lewis. With a name that sounds more like an Icelandic skeetshooter than a British singer, Ms Lewis has probably broken many windows with her impeccable vocal range. A sing-off between Lewis and Carey could certainly reach nuclear levels.

On the face of it, Spirit is just another commercially-produced, emotionless whine, but when you (or if you can last) peeling through the many "deep" layers of Lewis, you may find some interesting melodies, or at least "caramel notes". Alternatively, if "smooth, fruity notes
are more your thang, save yourself some time and buy some beer instead.
