Summary:Great Sax, so-so vocals Overall Rating: Comment:Candy sure can play her butt off when she wants and she wanted to several times on this album. Those tunes are a joy to listen to and get 5 stars.
On the down side, there are the vocal songs which just didn't make it for me and forced me to detract a star from the rating.
Since I bought this used for a couple of bucks, I consider it money well spent but whether this CD will make it over to my "frequently played" stack is conjectural.
Summary:Candy's First Bow Overall Rating: Comment:Candy Dulfer was getting known as a player (and yeah, a good-looking player) when this CD was released in late 1990. I have always felt that it was designed to capitalize on the popularity of "Lily Was Here". Curiously, when released in Europe (I was living in Oslo at the time), the original release didn't have "Lily". As a result, one was forced to judge the CD without the song that brought her to the public. There are moments that the CD seems tenative--I do remember that she was getting a real major push at the time; "Lily" was in rotation on MTV, she was doing commercials and playing a lot of major concerts (Knebworth the weekend Freddie Mercury died comes to mind). I always had a feeling she was trying to establish what her sound was with "Saxuality". To my ear, she was more comfortable in the faster tunes--the title track and "Jazzid", "Heavenly City". There was a sense that she was feeling her way along with the slower material to me. But still, this was a good beginning for someone who was (I believe) 21 years old at the time.
I recommend this CD CD obviously because of "Lily" (which was put onto subsequent reissues of "Saxuality")--a must for anyone who collects Candy--but also because of how it flows. She might be tenative in this first venture, but one can sense an oncoming storm from the girl--and that's been proven out over the years both on media and in concert.
Summary:A listening experience like no other Overall Rating: Comment:The first time I exeperienced Candy Dulfer's music was on the Batman Soundtrack back in 1989. The song was Partyman by Prince and at the time I found myself focusing more on the person playing the sax instead of Prince's singing. Little did I know it was a woman playing sax and boy could she play. I later found out that woman was Candy Dulfer and a few years later I picked up this album after hearing the incredible track Lily Was Here. This track alone is worth the price of the CD but the rest of the album is just as good. Candy Dulfer plays with such passion and sexuality that it stirs up emotions within you. Listening to her music is like being transported to another time and place. Candy Dulfer is a great musician who does not get the attention and respect that she deserves. I highly recommend this CD and her other titles as well.
