 THE BEST Brand New Heavies February 6, 2008
I was first turned on to the BNH in Amsterdam, circa 1996, in a coffee shop. That album was Brother, Sister, which is great.
Great, funky, catchy modern R&B.
I've followed them since then, and picked up Shelter in 2007. It's their best album, by far. AMAZING songwriting, arrangements, & musicianship!
Yeah, I love N'Dea's vocals, but I actually think Siedah Garrett's just as good, and she's a better songwriter. She co-wrote a lot of the songs on this album. There's not a stinker in the bunch!
The title-track, "Shelter", "Sometimes You Gotta Do Right", "Stay Gone", and "Feels Like Right" are some of the best tunes I've heard in my life.
Buy it.
And check out their tour schedule (available on MySpace), and GO SEE THEM!
Peace!

Like many others I was absolutely devastated when N'Dea left BNH. But being a fan of this band I bought Shelter and I think I listened to it all of 2 times and didn't care for it.
I tore Siedah Garrett to shreds and basically felt "how dare she try and replace N'Dea" cuz to me it was nowhere near the same. And I don't agree with the first reviewer here. N'Dea is what made that band and she will always be what made them. She was the gas to their engine. Anyway I was real disappointed in Siedah's voice because you cannot even compare the two.
Fast forward about 8 years and I was browsing for music and saw it sitting there and thought I should give it another chance. And I guess I just needed some time to get over N'Deas departure because he voice is nowhere near as bad as I remembered in my head. Actually quite the contrary, it was good.
And the songwriting on this album is among the strongest that they have ever done. I would put this as a classic among the first 2. BNH kinda fell downhill after that but I am such a fan of this band that I think I'd buy an album of farts set to their music : )
If you don't buy any other CD, buy this one... June 30, 2005

Smooth old school grooves, neo-funk, eclectic and classical jazz, and R & B all wrapped up in one. What is there to say except that this group's musical genius brilliantly and beautifully brings all these genres off into a wonderful blend of extraordinary musical melodies that moves the soul, the mind, and gives the listener a higher plane of listening pleasure to their senses. The Brand New Heavies is truly a group that could be mused as "The Underdog", "Musical Sleeper", and even "Under-Marketed" and truly needs props for their much deserved fame.
True musical genius is hard to find in this day and time in the Musical Entertainment World with everything digitized, and singers who sound as if your ears deserved some sort of punishment for enduring their unearthly sounds which we classify as "singing" these days; whereas these artists are racking up undeserved fame that breeds that unending question mark in one's sane musical mind of "How?"
Not so with the BNH's. I rarely have the opportunity to say anymore that I have bought a CD in which I can pop in and truly like and enjoy every song. And with my vast like of musical genres and a strong background in music, I believe I can say I know and hear true talent. The eclectic smooth groove of "Sometimes" and "Highest High" really moved me deep with not only the music composition and positive lyrics, but makes me zoom through my days faster with a more positive mood to boot. But the question is which song on this CD doesn't have its own magic?
I recommend this CD for anyone who enjoys musical tastes in R & B, most forms of jazz, and a touch of old-school soul and Pop. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

I must disagree with critics and some fans-I much prefer Siedah Garret's singing over N'Dea-Garret has far more experience and doesn't try so hard to be convincing.And this being their third proper studio album The Brand New Heavies have grown a great deal as songwriters and have learned that crucial,unnamable ingrediant that made the funk of the 70's what it was.And it wasn't just real instruments either.By far the best song here is "You Are The Universe",an upbeat song with a genuinely positive message for people to keep control and revel in their given freedom.Not to mention th wonderful "I Like It","Highest High",well for that matter everything else here not only showcases musical professionalism and instrumentation but that songwriting has taken a priority over grooves and jamming,which to my ears is very much a saving grace.So if you are like me and believe that you can jam,groove AND write great songs too with your funk 'Shelter' will be the Brand New Heavies' album for you.
it's AWESOME !! April 15, 2004
