She Truly Is Everything In a Torch Singer

"It has been so hard to imagine a soul singer that really did come back big time last year. Anita Baker is absolutely no acception. She had been absent from the public eye for quite a long time, because of taking care of family issues, and her voice hasn't lost any feeling it has proven for years. Her latest single, You're My Everything, the opening track, and first single from her comeback album My Everything, is a very soulful and seductive pop song. Her voice on this song is just purely delightful and better than ever. It is just a great song.
The B-Side is also no acception to be overlooked, Close Your Eyes is also as very seductive and deep to Anita's voice. This song is a great song, and truly brings out even more to bring her voice into full circle. This song is very sensual, and brings out that sexy appeal unlike a lot of other artists can do like Beyonce' or Jennifer Lopez with their images. This is just a great song. It is just too bad this wasn't released as a single in the U.S. unlike My Everything. This is just a beautiful soul ballad.
My Everything: A 1/2-
Close You Eyes: B+
Overall: A 1/2-"
