CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Not only does Debelah Morgan have the rock-hard abs, R&B chops, and high vocal register that made Mariah Carey a household name, but she also has extensive classical training that gives some legitimacy to the Bach and Bizet samples sprinkled among her album's hip-pop beats. On personality, however, Carey needn't worry: Morgan's Dance with Me has no spirit of its own and no story to tell. The usual mix of dancefloor tracks and ballads here includes some good ones, such as "Baby I Need Your Love" and "Let's Get It On," and some not-so-good ones, such as "Come and Dance" and "Can't Stop Loving You." But all are predictable retreads of songs you've heard before. Morgan's voice is strong, but her material holds her back, keeping her out of contention in this age of the superdiva. --Courtney Kemp Similar CDs

CD ReviewsDebelah Should Be More Successful Eyebrows | 07/03/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I think Debelah Morgan is one of the best-kept secrets of today's music. She has an amazing voice and writes her own material. I think she should be far more successful than some of her pop/R&B contemporaries. She has the vocal range of Mariah Carey, the pop appeal of Christina Aguilera, and the soul of Toni Braxton, as is showcased on this album: 1. DANCE WITH ME - This infectious dance song was Debelah's only (minor) hit. The lyrics are catchy beyond belief, and the salsa-spiced beats are great. One of the best dance songs ever, in my opinion - 5/5 2. I REMEMBER - A sweet, Mariah-esque mid-tempo song. The lovey-dovey lyrics and mediocre production aren't my favorite on the disc, but Debelah's voice more than pulls them off as she demonstrates her stunning range - 5/5 3. CLOSE TO YOU - A gorgeous ballad that Debelah delivers with startling conviction and emotion. One of my favorites on this album, and a true classic love song - 5/5 4. LET'S GET IT ON - Another funky smash with sexy lyrics and an addictive chorus. This one is almost as danceable as #1, though it's definitely not one of my favorites. Sounds a bit too much like other R&B songs out there - 4/5 5. I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU - This one is pure, smooth R&B with a hint of jazz. The piano opening also adds to its appeal. This one is mid-tempo with good lyrics, though the chorus can get a bit annoying - 5/5 6. TAKE THE RAIN AWAY - This song is probably the most poppy one on the record, though there are hints of Toni Braxton-like soul and even some disco. Still, it's a bit too bubblegum for my tastes - 4/5 7. WHAT WOULD YOU DO - My favorite song on the record. This ballad is along the same lines as #3, though these lyrics tell of a woman threatening to leave her man if he doesn't treat her better. Vocally, the best song on the album - 5/5 8. THINK OF YOU (intro) - Bah! I hate interludes! This accapella opening to the following track actually isn't half-bad, though - 4/5 9. THINK OF YOU - One of my least favorite songs. It has a cheesy melody and even cheesier lyrics. This one sounds as though she's trying to compete with the likes of Britney Spears, though it's a poor attempt - 3/5 10. BABY I NEED YOUR LOVE - A throbbing mid-tempo R&B jingle that will undoubtedly have you dancing to the urban-influenced melody and singing along to the almost disgustingly catchy lyrics - 5/5 11. BRING BACK THE SUN - Another ballad, though not as good as #'s 3 and 7. It still showcases her vocal range, though not as well as the two aforementioned ballads. I also don't care for the lyrics - 4/5 12. COME AND DANZ - Similar to #1 but with a slightly different sound, this song is another infectious party jam that is bound to slap your behind onto the dancefloor. I think Debelah can compete with Janet Jackson at turning otherwise forgettable upbeat songs into dance anthems - 5/5 13. ALRIGHT - This song is a pretty mid-tempo ballad, I guess, but I'm not really into religious music, so it's my least favorite song on the record. Skip this one if you're not into Christian music, like me - 3/5 14. FALL IN LOVE AGAIN - I'm glad they included this bonus track on the album because it's my favorite song besides #7. Another mid-tempo smash that probably would have made a very successful single - 5/5" Absolutely Enticing over and over D. Evans | San Diego, Ca. | 02/02/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This lady has never received her deserved popularity or fame. Amazing music, with one of the most endearing ranges of all soul/R&B/Jazz singers I have ever heard. I am a jazz player and have listened to enough. Along with performers like Maysa, this lady has it all. Her music is arranged perfectly for her voice, with the background singers coming in at just the right time and tone. As for pleasure:: Well, just turn it on and let it play over and over and over and over. I wear the headphones with her CD, and while at the computer, time goes by in a dream world of pure pleasure.. a joy to the soul. I sure wish she someone would manage her career. What a sound. Maria Carey, beware! " GREAT ALBUM Eyebrows | Rockville, MD | 03/31/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a great album. I don't think it got any promotion. This girl can blow. Debelah is just another artist that deserves a lot of credit and was passed over."
