Anita Baker is a legendary vocal embellisher; she can hold the end of a line and bend that final syllable through several notes in her trademark smokey alto, thus giving the lyric an extra emotional twist. Audiences love this sort of vocal ornamentation, and a singer must resist the temptation to overdo it, for at a certain point, decoration becomes clutter. Unfortunately, Baker succumbs to that temptation on her new album, <I>Rhythm of Love</I>, which is so embellished with slides, moans and trills it's often difficult to find the songs underneath it all. <I>--Goeffrey Himes</I>

5 out of 5 stars Tops!.......2007-03-08

"Rhythm of Love" is pure Anita Baker at the top of her game before her ten year disappearing act. Her voice is passionate and riviting, as on all her previous albums. The great instrumentals weave in and out of her extraordinary vocals. Every song gets five stars except one, "Body & Soul", which is ravishing and beyond the rating game! The listener may hear reflections of Sarah Vaughn. This is my #1 favorite vocal album by my #1 favorite vocalist. Was "diva girl" micheleann (below) listening to the same CD? I doubt she knows a Diva when she hears one!

3 out of 5 stars Not her best.......2005-10-05

This CD was OK, but it is definitely not her best by far. Most of the songs were very sedate, not of the breezy, jazzy, soulful sound we are used to hearing from Anita. Her covers of a few songs originally done by other artists were not the greatest. A few songs are very good though, such as "It's Been You" & "Wrong Man". If you want a great Anita CD, get "Compositions" & leave this one alone.

4 out of 5 stars Rhythm of Love.......2005-08-06

I've been a fan of Anita Baker since hearing her first album, 'The Songstress'. Her unique vocal styling and heartfelt emotional performances reeled me in and I'm hooked. If forced to rank her albums, I'd rank it fourth (ahead of 'Compositions' but after 'Rapture', 'GYTBIG' & the aforementioned,'Songstress').

The first single, 'Body & Soul' literally stopped me in my tracks. This is one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard and to this day is one of my favorite songs by any artist. The other standout tracks to me are: 'Plenty of Room' (beautiful sentiment), her off-the-chain remakes of 'You Belong To Me' (makes you almost forget the original) and 'My Funny Valentine' (not quite as enjoyable as Chaka Khan's rendition but..still excellent); 'Sometimes I Wonder Why' and 'Only For a While'.

The only two songs that do nothing for me even to this day are 'Rhythm of Love' & 'Wrong Man'.

Overall the production and vocals on this disc should satisfy any fan of Anita's music as this ranks right up there with her more popular albums. Although for any newbies, I'd recommend 'Rapture' to dip your feet into her music first.
