One of the great mysteries of American music is that Lisa Fischer has only released one solo album. Real Gone Music has now reissued that album, So Intense<\/i>, in a deluxe edition with five bonus tracks.<\/p>\n
Fischer is one of those singers you have probably seen or heard without realizing it. She has backed many of today\u2019s stars in the studio, including Sting, Tina Turner, The Rolling Stones, and Aretha Franklin. She served 22 years as a backing vocalist in the studio and in concert for Luther Vandross until his death in 2005. Her greatest claim to fame is serving as a backing vocalist for every Rolling Stones tour since 1989.<\/p>\n
So Intense <\/i>was not an album that quickly disappeared. It produced the Top 20 pop single \u201cHow Can I Ease The Pain,\u201d which also topped the R&B Charts. It enabled her to win the 1992 Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance. <\/p>\n
Fischer has one of those voices that are a gift from God. It has a wide range that allows her to soar or purr at will with a crystal-clear tone. It is one of those voices you will never forget.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow Can I Ease The Pain\u201d is the best track as she rings every bit of emotion from the song.\u00a0 \u201cChain Of Broken Hearts\u201d is close behind as it is an example of her vocal range. \u00a0Add in \u201cSave Me,\u201d which will make you want to get up out of your chair and dance along, and the smooth mid-tempo rhythm & blues of \u201cSome Girls,\u201d and you have an album that is consistently excellent.<\/p>\n
Four of the five bonus tracks are basically remixes and edits, and while interesting, they add little to the overall quality of the album. The only new song is \u201cReachin\u2019 4\/U.\u201d It is a nice performance, but it pales next to the music that was issued on the original album. <\/p>\n
So Intense <\/i>remains <\/i>the lone solo statement by one of music\u2019s superior vocalists. It is a worthy addition to any collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":31767,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[9312],"rating":[5617],"class_list":["post-43480","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-lisa-fischer","rating-rating-b-plus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/43480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/43480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=43480"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=43480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
