Dominique Gizelle - Deep Down (IG)(Bangon Records) 1999    

              Dominique Gizelle is a multi-talented upcoming artist. On this CD she plays everything from acoustic and 12 string guitars to keyboard and percussion. Although some of this is pre-programmed material, it does not stop how enjoyable this CD is. Joining Gizelle is Paul Biondi on electric and bass guitars, and backing vocals. Gizelle sings with a voice full of soul. It is powerful, but not overstated. Her lyrics are clever using creative metaphors while speaking about love, blues, and life.

            Deep Down is filled with captivating songs. Among the best are "Luke" about a woman creating the perfect man, "Bluebird" about wanting to join singing bluebirds to overcome the blues. The song that was most appealing was "Bare Necessities" with a chorus including "I want a small boat like Ivana/Want to sell my hand-me-downs like Princess Di/Just a few shoes like Imelda....." Pay attention to "Paradise" a spectacular love song.

            Gizelle has already drawn much praise for this CD. FEMMUSIC is happy to add to it. Listen to Dominique Gizelle. For more information visit http://www.bangonrecords.com
