Gloria Gaynor - The Answer (2004)

"The Answer" is Gloria second album of original songs for the 2000's and it's as if she never left, she didn't. The lead single, "Oh, What a Life" is the lead single from this album. It is a lively Hi-NRG stompper ripe with lyrically intelligent lyrics and gorgeous vocals! It hit #1 on the Euro NRG Top 40 chart. It also would have been a splendid radio single if Rhythmic format radio stations have thought to pick it up and put in rotation! The follow up singles, "Rippin' It Up", "Perfect World" and "Set Me Free" are equally as great overall! All four singles are featured in original and remix versions on this album. The album features a few beautifully done Soul ballads such as "It's My Time" which is quite an uplifting song, the polished "In All Ways a Woman, the mid-tempo Urban contemporary song, "You." The title track, "You Are The Answer," has a cool sound being half Urban & have sleek Dance-Pop. They combine to create an intriuging Soul/Dance sound seldom heard since CeCe Peniston smash hit, "Keep On Walking." The Gospel-House song, "Most High" is one of the best songs of its kind being both inspiring & very catchy. Overall, a well rounded album ripe with engery, optimisim and wisdom you would be glad to your music collection.
