Electronic jazz with layered vocals and a bit of quasi-rap. Beat poetry with a psychotic undertone.
Editorial review
Lorraine Feather, the daughter of the late jazz critic Leonard Feather, has performed many styles of music, but this unusual CD mixes elements of several of them. This release began life as Paper or Plastic, issued by another label with a different cover photo. After the label folded, it was remixed and issued by Bean Bag as The Body Remembers, though the second label also ceased operations not long after the new version of the CD was issued. Feather's sexy voice and often witty lyrics are appealing, though the music, with distracting programming and repetitious vamps, does little to complement them. In addition to providing her own backing vocals, Feather switches to narrative voice on several tracks. The best songs include "Very Unbecoming" and the hilarious "Where Are My Keys," songs that will hit home with many listeners. While the overall effect of the CD pales besides her superior releases New York City Drag and Caf? Society from a few years later, her catchy lyrics make it worth looking for. Although it is out of print, The Body Remembers is still available for purchase from the artist at {/www.lorrainefeather.com}. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Singer/lyricist Lorraine Feather has had a long and mind-bendingly varied career. She began as an actress and dancer in New York and was in "Jesus Christ, Superstar." She sang with and wrote for vocal trio Full Swing during the '80s, recording three albums with the group and performing at the Monterey, Playboy and Kool Festivals. She has had songs recorded by Phyllis Hyman, Diane Schuur, Patti Austin, Cleo Laine and Kenny Rankin. She has also spent a fair amount of time in the world of TV, contributing lyrics for soap operas, cartoon shows and Jessye Norman's finale to the 1996 Olympics. She's been nominated for seven Emmys.
Lorraine's first solo album in many years, "The Body Remembers" was released on Bay Area label Bean Bag in 1997. Bean Bag went bankrupt almost instantly after TBR's release, an occurence for which Lorraine claims absolutely no responsibility.
