Pros: Interesting fusion of rock & soul...pretty ballsy album for a TV actress. Cons: If you don't like Lenny Kravitz, you probably won't like Cree Summer.
The early 90’s TV series “A Different World” was a breeding ground for some interesting talents. Jasmine Guy went on to become a successful Broadway actress/dancer, Jada Pinkett went on to become a trophy wife (hee hee), but what became of...
Pros: Great blending of styles, poetic lyrics, inovative Cons: A few tracks fall slightly below the mark.
When I first got "Street Faerie" and saw the name Cree Summer, I remember asking Carletta (who hooked me up with this album--isn't she awesome?!) if this was the same Cree Summer that I remember from television. She confirmed it was and I...
Pros: Stunningly original vocals merge with superb songwriting for truly original music. Cons: Requires serious devotion to lyric interpretation and schematic flow to be fully appreciated.
If you own a television, chances are you have heard the voice of Cree Summer in the last 7 days. Not as a singer, mind you, but as the voice of some of the world's most beloved animated characters. The resume is quite impressive: besides having played ...
Pros: lyrical content, new experience of music Cons: overuse of rock tracks, "niche" style, strange levels of intensity
I too was surprised to hear about Cree Summer's CD Street Faerie as I heard practically no media or entertainment coverage. It seems frighteningly similar to her tenured career -- everywhere (across several media) and nowhere (barely a public ...
Pros: Cree's music is beautiful and inspiring, and refreshingly cannot be categorized! Cons: can't think of any
Reading all these wonderful reviews of Cree Summer's album made me literally get up and run over to my CD collection with a burst of enthusiasm, and stick it in the CD player yet again! I don't think I could ever get sick of this CD.
About this time last year Blockbuster was giving away a free CD in celebration of Black History Month. Two songs moved me to tears: Miles Davis’ I Fall in Love too Easily and a song that would become my passionately accurate anthem: Cree...
Pros: Poetic lyrics, Cree has a great voice Cons: Over-used drum loops on 2 tracks
Cree Summer? Isn't she the same person who played Freddie Brooks? Isn't she the voice of the loveable "Elmira" from Warner Brother's "Tiny Toons" cartoon?
Yes and yes... and she's also an incredibly poetic and expressive...
Pros: Smooth, deep, thought provoking, and just plain fun!!! Cons: She only has one CD out. I WANT MORE!
Believe it or not, I found out about this CD while watching an episode of "Behind the music" featuring Lenny Kravitz. That short, 2 minute clip of Cree compelled me to take a chance on her CD, and I was not disappointed.
Pros: Positively surprising, Lenny Kravitz had a hand in it Cons: What would the album be if he didn't?
You more than likely remember Cree Summer as Different World’s quirky, kinky-haired co-ed who was so very much a hybrid of tree-hugging hippie and militant Black Panther with a kind, sunflowery heart. When you watched Freddie, as her character...
Pros: Great Sounds, Excellent New Artist. Cons: None.
I bought Cree Summer's 1999 debut album "Street Faerie" because I saw that she was going to be performing at Lilith Fair. Knowing that almost every person involved with this marvelous event had great musical talents, I took a chance and was...
Pros: catchy, memorable, unclassifiable music in the vein of Macy Gray or Rickie Lee Jones. Cons: the unclassifiablility of this music will probably prevent Summer from ever entering the public vernacular as much as her talent merits her to.
Cree Summer's debut disc _Street Faerie_ is like the perfect day under the sun: delicious, natural, and ultimately brings realizations of who we are on a personal and collective level. Summer, former actress and recognizable cartoon voice, collaborates...
Pros: inspirational, relaxing, and different Cons: this disc is not getting the attention it deserves
i can honestly say the cree summer cd "street faerie" is one of the best cd's i brought for 1999. i think alot of people will think that cree summer is a lenny kravitz puppet. how very wrong these people are!!!!!. i get so mad that this cd is...
Pros: Just Down Right Good Music Cons: No Promotion
It's a different world for Cree Summer on this album. I bought Street Farie without hearing any songs first, because I'm a big fan of Different World and heard she was working with Lenny Kravtiz. I only have one thing to say and that is Cree is a true...
Pros: Incorporates different genres of music combined w/ great lyrics. . Cons: The cd is a not very fast paced and becomes a bit down at times.
Many people may know Cree Summer from the 90's sitcom A different World, but Cree Summer is not Freddie Brooks not that there is anything wrong with Freddie. However, it is clear that she is very different. Unlike the character she portrayed, she...
Pros: loved it from beginning to end Cons: none...
Cree's new CD is one that should be topping the charts. Co-writers and music producers Lenny Kravitz and Tori Ruffin bring all the music together beautifully. There isn't a cut on Cree's new CD that I don't like. Tori Ruffin's guitar on one of her...
