“Songs in A Minor” (album). Alicia Keys. (2001)
“Songs in A Minor” album cover
Courtesy: J Records/Sony
On this album, J Records label head, Clive Davis, afforded singer/songwriter Keys great independence in creating the album she wanted to release.
Under a previous record deal, Keys had written and recorded much of the album, but the label rejected it.
Dissatisfaction with the rejection and the label’s unwillingness to take her seriously led Keys to J Records where Davis’ instinct proved prescient.
Keys has described her influences on the album as a “fusion of my classical training, meshed with what I grew up listening to,” which included the jazz from her mother’s record collection, along with the classic R&B and Hip Hop that was prevalent in her Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood.
Reviewers were quick to point out the sophistication and assurance with which the 20-year-old Keys realized the sound on this album.
Her unaffected vocals were capable expressing feelings from heartbreak to new love, and from righteous women’s empowerment to elegant, stylish yearning.

“Reach Out, I’ll Be There” (single). The Four Tops. (1966)

According to the Motown Museum, “Reach Out, I'll Be There” was the Four Tops’ biggest hit and is considered the vocal group’s theme song.
Recorded in Studio A at Hitsville USA and written and produced by the powerhouse team of Holland-Dozier-Holland, the lyrics grew out of their feeling that women “wanted someone to be there for them, through thick or thin.”
Lamont Dozier said that he wanted to write “a journey of emotions with sustained tension, like a bolero.”
To achieve that, he “alternated the keys, from a minor, Russian feel in the verse to a major, gospel feel in the chorus.”
Levi Stubbs’ impassioned vocal was inspired by an unlikely source: Bob Dylan.
According to Dozier, they were inspired by Dylan’s shout singing style on “Like a Rolling Stone” and wanted lead vocalist Stubbs to sing like that.
To give his vocal added intensity, HDH put Stubbs at the top of his vocal range so he would have to strain a little.
The “galloping” sound, heard prominently at the beginning of the song, is a series of triplet beats struck on the plastic head of a tambourine with no jingles, played by Motown producer Norman Whitfield.
Levi Stubbs improvised the lyric, “Just look over your shoulder.”
It sounded good, so they kept it in.

Absolutely thrilled that the Kiki score is up. One of my all time favorite movies.
Theres like 1-3 Joe Hisaishi Atmos mixes a week, wonder if they’re building a catalogue for an Artist Feature…

Wow--you're right. I'd only caught three of them so far. But if you search on Hisaishi's name, there must be a dozen of his albums in Atmos already.
Quite a few of them are, sadly, unimpressive to my ears, mostly feeling like a “wider” stereo signal (much like that Getz/Gilberto mix). Interestingly, none of the Ghibli soundtracks with Ghibli art have gotten mixes yet, it’s all solo/conductor/arrangement releases yet. I hope the actual Kiki soundtrack album gets it sometime, would be fun to hear those two j-pop songs in Atmos.
Side note on Kiki, despite it being a childhood favorite I only learned this month that it’s based off a Japanese childrens novel. Not only that, it’s a long running series with the most recent (7th) book last released in 2018. Found at least the first in English on kindle, planning on reading once I finish Asimov’s Robots/Empire/Foundation
Woooooah. Some wild spacey ambient techno goin on over here. Kinda like a more club friendly Future Sounds Of London.
Never heard of this guy, found randomly scrolling through new releases. A double album too, only on the first:

Both in Atmos.

Speaking of Joel Ross: I wish I could get more excited about Blue Note's approach to Atmos mixing. But at least they're on board. And I respect how Don Was is trying to keep the label current without pandering and without disregarding the past. Here's a primer on his artist roster, almost all of whom have had Atmos releases in the past 18 months:
