Crystal Cartier's uniquely rich & sultry voice has inspired some
to label her a Chocolate Marilyn Monroe with Silky Soul.
Cartier's bluesy-jazz voice skillfully weaves a soulful tapestry
of beautiful haunting melodies & thought provoking lyrics that
encourages one to cuddle near a warm fireplace with a glass of
wine & someone that you love.... or relax in a luxurious candle
lit bubble bath while she soothes your mind & soul... or let her
work that body! Also features excellent music for sensuous
stretches & dynamic dance workouts.
This gifted singer & songwriter has an affinity for heart
rending minor chords and hauntingly beautiful melodies
sensuously orchestrated with lavish strings, mellow sax,
pulsating bass & exotic percussion creating mesmerizing...
timeless... & unforgettable arrangements.
Ranging from timeless ballads to dance rhythms & driving African
drum beats this is a relaxing & provocative hour of passionate
original music masterfully arranged, performed & engineered by
producer/musician D.A.Oldis.
This album features famed Blues guitarist & recording artist Sam
Mayfield on "She Used to Be Me". Also gospel recording
artist/producers Darryl & Danette Carter. The late great Rodney
Kindred & Michael Van Lowe play percussion. The multitalented
Mr. Dennis Whitmeyer renders a fabulous concert piano
performance on "Obsession".
The exceptionally gifted Mr. Henry Hudson plays awesome Sax
leads & enhancements throughout the album. This brother can
wail!
"Queensize Lover" sends out a powerful message for all full
figured women from sensual opening to rapping fast paced end.
This song was also featured on the Black STARZ TV Network
throughout June 2001.
The pain embodied in "The Honeymoon is Over" reflects passion &
exceptional vocal delivery. "Michael" is a dance tune to rock
the house.
"Teach Me" a rockin' Gospel tune & "Hello World" are the theme
songs for Crystal's TV shows.
Cartier's innovative Gospel version of Ben E.King's "Stand By
Me" is moving & inspirational, enhanced by the background choir
of recording artist Ron Ivory & the Blue Angel Cheerleaders. The
driving vamp & unique rocking transition near the end is an
awesome surprise. Cartier's "Stand By Me" is a passionate anthem
for these trying times of economic plight, war & natural
disasters.
"Bimbo Blues" is a hilarious rockin' down home blues parody.
This album also features Cartier's version of the song
"Dangerous" copywritten & released a full year before Michael
Jackson's version.
It also provides a free sample of the "Dangerous
Remix/Comparison" from the ensuing copyright infringement trial
available to the public from the Denver Federal Courts and
played on the Geraldo TV show where the audience & music expert
all agreed that both songs obviously share the same hook despite
the fact that she lost the case.
But Crystal bears MJ no ill will. Her hand of friendship is
still open for an opportunity to work with him. She simply
quotes the kharmic line from "A Color Purple" "..."Until MJ does
right by me nothing he touches will prosper."
This case has been profiled by bestseller books "They Fought the
Law" written by Stan Soocher & Chris Andersen's "Michael Jackson
Unauthorized". * * * *
