Synopsis

Amazon.com
Her third album delayed by tussles with her label over the banjo on the single "Lose Your Way," Sophie B. Hawkins turned to her Internet fans and the resulting e-mail campaign got this album released in the form she intended. The arrangements she fought for are often lovely; unfortunately, the songs behind them don't have much of the conceptual and melodic elegance of her earlier hits. Timbre's songs are almost all moon-eyed midtempo ballads, with sexed-up lyrics vague enough that they're open to pretty much any interpretation. Aside from "The Darkest Childe," a bizarre spiel surrounded by sampled voices and sound effects, it's awfully bland--disappointing from a songwriter who was once anything but that. --Douglas Wolk

All emotions

"The difference for me between Tongues and Whaler is that I feel closed in with Tongues and free with Whaler. Also Timbre gets me this wonderfull feeling. It makes me feel the wind in my hair, so clear and pure but with all the emotions someone can feel; insecurity, angry, sexy, happy, honesty and relativity..."
Great Music!!!

"I haven't listened to the entire CD yet, BUT! I heard her song "The One You Have Not Seen" from the movie 40 days and 40 nights. When I heard the song I knew I had to have it. It took some effort to find the artist and the name of the song(Thank Goodness for the DVD slow motion feature), but I found it and I can't wait to hear the entire CD."
