| "I doff my hat to Denise Freeman for getting down and just doing what many singer-songwriters dream about but rarely accomplish: putting their money where their mouth is and recording their own songs, instead of simply bitching about how dumb and demoralizing the music industry is. For her debut album, Denise has put her heart and soul into producing an absolutely listenable - and danceable - collection of very personal songs, that effectively blend a disarming rawness of delivery with precocious sophistication. You can FEEL this lady's soul shine through on every track; and the broad range of styles makes it wonderfully eclectic and never repetitive or blah. Denise does soulful country ballads and middle-of-the-road radio-friendly fare - and then surprises with a disco number or two a la Christina Aguilera! The musical arrangements are mature and tight and beautifully support her vivacious personality and crystalline voice. NAKED & UNDONE bears repeated listening and will grow on anybody with unjaded ears. I shall certainly cherish my autographed copy - especially since I first met Denise when she was all of 16. What a joy to hear her all grown up and sexy as any pop icon! " Antares |
