A Girl Called Dusty

1964. Soulful and beautiful with many familiar songs.

High 3. Lots of good songs on here

It was decent. Low 3

Just regular old music, nothing special about it to be honest. It's good background noise.

She's got a lovely voice. There are better versions of pretty much all these songs tho unfortunately. Would recommend those instead

Alright but nothing special Most of the time feels luike smth my grandparents would dance to

7/10. I didn't exactly know how to rate this one so I'm giving it a middle of the road to high score. it was nice enough with great vocals - Springfield has a really unique and fairly deep voice. That being said there were a ton of short songs that kind of merged into one another with only a few standouts. Overall probably one of my more preferred 60s albums so far

Not my came

Schöne Songs. Gute Stimme.

I don't have much to say about this album. It's just typical 60s fare. A good thing is that it's not bad. Just not on the same level as "Parallel Lines". I'm also a bit late writing this review. 3 stars for "A Girl Called Dusty".

I gave it a listen just the first song was pretty good very different!

Was okay, liked some of the songs but not a huge fan in general. Lots of pop but nothing special

Classic 60s music. The entire album sounds like a movie soundtrack. 6.7/10

Música de boa qualidade para a época porém as faixas soaram repetitivas no álbum. Parece tudo a mesma construção basal.

I was honestly surprised by how many of the songs I had heard before, I didn’t realize going in. Though like some other albums I wondered whether they were covers.

Surprised by how many songs i recognized

3/5 Oli oikein miellyttävä yllätys. En osannut odottaa mitään. Tämä jopa karvan parempi kuin eilen kuunneltu Sinatran In The Wee Small Hours.

Tämä oli erilainen verrattuna aikaisempiin. Leppoisaa musiikkia, levyn malttoi hyvin kuunnella kokonaan, vaikka tuskin ainakaan ihan heti tulee kuunneltua uudelleen.

Ei herätä negatiivisia eikä positiivisia tuntemuksia, jotenkin tasapaksua aikansa rallattelua. Levyltä löytyy kuitenkin ne hienot hetket, jotka hiteiksikin luokitellaan. Ymmärrän miksi albumi ja Springfield on tällä listalla.

Ihan kivan kuuloista settiä!

I was pleasantly surprised by this. Dusty had a great voice and the songs, while not all my thing, were well chosen for her.

avrei dato 4 stelle per la voce e lo stile anni 50, poi ho letto che sono tutte cover, che toglie un punto

Dust in my ear, dust in my brain. Straight outa midwestern saloon, miss springfield. What r we doin with this EP? Drü einsami sandkörner, zu unsicher öb boring oder schlecht um vum ne 3 abzdrifte

Pretty nice

Really good! I didn’t know dusty sang many of the songs she did. Iconic! Would listen again

sooooo long but her voice is really nice 3/5

Good collection of songs. Each song sounded familiar, likely because this is movie score music. I enjoyed the album, but don't think I'll be listening regularly besides having it on as background music. The composition is good and I like how the songs are shorter. I'm giving this an average 3.

At first I really thought this album sucked - the songs are super campy. Then I listened again and realized that these songs are, for the most part, really good. This album does suffer from being a collection of singles with no real cohesion, but there are a lot of good ones lurking: when the love light starts shining thru his eyes, twenty-four hours from Tulsa, anyone who had a heart, actually most of these are great. Colouring book is not one of them though, that’s a stinker. Too many songs but I did listen to the expanded edition cause so not really holding it against our girl Dusty. We all know what the lyrics “hold him and kiss him” mean, right? 60s lyrics are great

Skilled enough pop-soul from when the English were being introduced to it. Beatles did it better a year later on Rubber Soul, though, and Dusty doesn't do anything too interesting here.

Great singer but not anything exciting.

I'm disappointed that I mistakenly listened to the remastered double edition, not just the 33-minute original album. Distinctive voice and enjoyable enough.

She has a good voice but these songs were pretty uninspiring.

It's ok.

Good album that made my morning better. I wouldn't mind listening to it again but I probably won't be coming back anytime soon.

Pretty competent singing of good songs written by other people-a good Motown sound, even if it’s a white girl from the UK. A bit long for my tastes; I could see some of these going on a mix, even if they’re not the straight banger that “son of a preacher man” is.

I liked this 50s album from the 60s

Nous sommes en 1964. L'Angleterre est en pleine ébullition. Les Beatles et les Stones sont en train de conquérir le monde à grands coups de riffs de guitare et de coupes de cheveux au bol. C'est le règne des garçons, bruyants et arrogants. Et au milieu de tout ça, il y a Dusty. Une fille avec une coiffure choucroute improbable, des yeux charbonneux et, surtout, une voix. Une putain de voix. Quand son premier album, "A Girl Called Dusty" est sorti, il a dû faire l'effet d'une anomalie. Ce n'était pas du rock'n'roll, pas vraiment. Ce n'était pas de la pop acidulée non plus. C'était autre chose, c'était le son d'une Anglaise blanche, Mary O'Brien de son vrai nom, qui était tombée follement amoureuse de la musique noire américaine. Et qui, chose rarissime pour l'époque, ne se contentait pas de la copier platement, mais la comprenait, la vénérait et la chantait avec une âme et une conviction qui la plaçaient d'emblée dans la cour des grandes. Alors, pourquoi seulement 3 sur 5 pour un disque qui a révélé l'une des plus grandes voix du 20ème siècle ? Parce qu'"A Girl Called Dusty" est un disque un peu schizophrène. C'est l'album d'une artiste qui n'a pas encore totalement trouvé sa voie. C'est une collection de reprises, un pot-pourri de ses influences, un formidable showcase pour sa voix, mais ce n'est pas encore une déclaration artistique personnelle. On a l'impression d'écouter la plus belle mixtape du monde, compilée par une disquaire au goût impeccable. Et quel goût ! La petite Dusty ne se contente pas de reprendre les tubes du moment, elle va piocher dans les catalogues les plus classieux de la soul américaine : Motown (The Supremes), Scepter (Dionne Warwick, The Shirelles), Atlantic. Elle a tout compris et avant tout le monde. À une époque où ses compatriotes découvraient le blues en se laissant pousser les cheveux, elle, elle s'attaquait au répertoire sophistiqué de Burt Bacharach. Il y a un courage et une intelligence dans ses choix qui forcent le respect. Et puis il y a l'interprétation. Quand elle chante "Anyone Who Had a Heart" ou "My Colouring Book", elle n'imite pas, elle incarne. On sent déjà poindre la grande chanteuse de "torch songs", celle qui sait comme personne chanter la douleur et le déchirement amoureux. Sa voix a une chaleur qui vous prend aux tripes. C'est indéniable. Mais... car il y a un mais. L'album, dans son ensemble, manque un peu de direction. On passe d'un morceau pop léger à une ballade soul déchirante, puis à un titre R&B plus obscur. C'est un catalogue de ses talents, mais pas encore une oeuvre cohérente. On sent la jeune artiste qui essaie différentes tenues pour voir celle qui lui va le mieux. Le talent est là, fulgurant, mais la vision d'ensemble est encore un peu floue. C'est un disque de promesses, la promesse de ce qu'elle deviendra cinq ans plus tard avec son chef-d'oeuvre absolu, "Dusty in Memphis". "A Girl Called Dusty" est le brouillon magnifique de ce futur chef-d'oeuvre. C'est le son d'une artiste en devenir, qui nous montre l'étendue de sa palette avant de peindre son grand tableau. C'est pour cette raison que le 3 sur 5 me semble juste. Ce n'est pas une note qui sanctionne la qualité des chansons ou le talent de l'interprète, qui sont immenses. C'est une note qui juge l'album en tant qu'oeuvre complète et en tant qu'oeuvre, "A Girl Called Dusty" est un premier pas charmant, essentiel pour comprendre la suite, mais qui n'a pas la puissance et la cohérence d'un classique indémodable. Il faut l'écouter, bien sûr. Pour la voix, pour la culture musicale de cette fille incroyable qui a servi de passeur entre la soul américaine et le public européen. Mais il faut l'écouter comme on regarde les premières esquisses d'un grand maître. C'est fascinant, c'est plein de talent, mais le tableau final est encore à venir.

I’ve never knowingly listened to Dusty Springfield but I do know the majority of these songs & enjoy them when I hear them but they’re not something I’d willingly to choose to listen to. They absolute classics though. No denying that.

was ready to hate this after the first song. overall it's good enough to avoid the 'blue-eyed soul' star reduction.

Love her voice , the tracks are fine in small doses , but not essential. 3

Decent but Dionne sings the Bacharach songs better

Seems very much so a product of its time. Dusty really knows how to belt out those songs. Loud, prominent pipes coming from her. Proper singing. I wouldn't have known this on my own, but apparently a bunch of the songs she sang are covers. I am not particularly a fan. This is not something I'd listen to... ever, had I not been participating in the 1001 albums experience, but I cannot say the music is bad or undeserving of recognition.

I never delved too deep into Dusty Springfield's work outside of the two albums on this list, but I've quite liked what I've heard. Doesn't go as far into early-60's pop excess as Phil Spector, but also doesn't indulge in all of the American soul histrionics. The result is a more restrained version of pop and soul. Key tracks: You Don't Own Me When the Lovelight Start Shining Thru His Eyes Anyone Who Had a Heart

there’s better versions of a lot of these songs out there

This is a nice Dusty Springfield record. That being said I am sometimes mystified by the catalog choices here. She is not an artist that demands more than one entry here and anyone who knows anything about music knows it should be "Dusty in Memphis" which is a classic

It was good, if not wowing.

Well... this just confirmed what I've always suspected. I often confuse Dusty Springfield and Buffalo Springfield. Instead of getting Neil Young and the boys (who I'm not a massive fan of, who I thought I was getting), I got a British lady singing covers in the style of the 1950s. It's a fine sounding album, but not groundbreaking.

This was cool! A lot of songs that have been covered, abridged and homaged over the years. I love the rock and roll, blues influence here. Its also very poppy, which is really fun for 1965.

Para pasársela bien escuchando clasicazos de los 50 y 60. En su mayoría prefiero las versiones originales, pero Polvosa lo hace muy bien.

Decent record, solid tunes. Dusty boasts a powerful, iconic voice!

Heard some solid hits. Overstayed it's welcome some. Good.

This girl likes to belt it out with full energy every time. Don’t be looking for subtlety or chill out vibes from this one! Nothing real deep to distinguish it from any other pop album.

Nice voice Easy listen Not sure I’d revisit it but was a decent listen

Roughly the same rating as Dusty In Memphis; good delivery of songs that are mostly somewhat unmemorable songs, or exist in other equally good or better versions by other artists (e.g. Anyone Who Had a Heart, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow)

Some great belting vocals and a few rocking tracks, but plenty of filler

Очередной проходной альбом. Песен на альбоме много, но они не запоминаются и звучат по обычному попсово. Единственная хорошая песня - кавер на You Don’t Own Me, но ее я во внимание не беру. Я уверен, что в мире найдется десятки подобных альбомов с похожими песнями и звучанием, поэтому считаю альбом средним. Проходные 3/5.

I enjoy this more than I thought.

It’s ok. Nothing great for me. Nothing bad. Just ok.

- The first two tracks are extremely solid. But I also feel that that is the high point. - A couple of these ("Do Re Mi," "Colouring Book") feel more dated than fun. Springfield is often nice to listen to, but she is not grabbing me like a lot of soul singers from the era. - "Twenty-Four Hours From Tulsa" is brutal af.

British white gal doing black American r&b winehouse inspo?

Can’t deny she’s got a fantastic, distinctive voice and knows how to use it. I always mentally put a ceiling on how highly I can rate albums which the artist hasn’t written any part of. I know, I know, that’s how a lot of artists worked in the 60s and before and there were some brilliant songwriters intentionally writing these songs for great singers, but part of me wants to know what *she* had to say, as well as what songs her label/producer/manager thought would sound good in her voice.

Not available on Apple Music

quite interesting but not too much

Some vintage mid-60s pop. A couple deep cuts, otherwise fairly average.

Her voice has a great timbre. Not crazy about the songs with the exception of the hits. There is of course the strange aspect of taking American black girl groups and covering their songs well, but not as good as the originals. Kind of strange.

Some good hits but nothing too special.

This album is a regular who's-who of the Swinging Sixties - covers of 'Mama Said', 'You Don't Own Me', 'Wishin and Hopin' and, of course, 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow' are performed competently. However it leaves an uncomfortable feeling of whitewashing these black soul tracks. Fav Song: 'Don't You Know' is a spectacular showcase of talent. Added to playlist: 'I Only Want To Be With You' (not on the original pressing) Rating: Three stars - maybe I'm spoiled living in the era of Spotify and singer-songwriters, but a covers album being in the top 1001 albums is surprising

Actually has potential

Great debut album. Some fantastic songs.

The songs are not the best but her voice sure is

She’s a good singer, production sounds dated, I don’t really have much to say, it’s fine?

听累了

Some great songs in this album. Standout Tracks: - Mama Said - You Don't Own Me

Decent enough, but just not that interesting to listen to.

Like early 60's LPs, it's more a collection of singles than an "album." Her voice is extraordinary. The R&B covers sound flat. But the less R&B tunes, while generally cheesier songs, are better at showing off her sultriness which is where her magic lies.

A lot better than its other 60's contemporaries on this list. it was very refreshing going from a bunch of guys singing songs about hot girls they want to date to a girl singing songs about how she wants to date guys. Maybe it's just a perspective thing but it's hard to be too critical of these 60's albums, a lot of them aren't the greatest things on this list but it doesn't feel like they demand the same level of scrutiny, they're just staying in their lane. It's like the musical equivalent of bullying some kid with a funny little propellor hat

Astounded that not only is this a white woman but a British white woman

Was kinda nice. Decent covers. Dusty's voice is great. Solid three.

has that classic female vocalist charm that just doesn’t really exist anymore

Female Sinatra. Blue-eyed soul in that era. She has great singles through her career and this is the first one.

A slice of the Swingin’ ‘60s! Nothing offensive here, but she always sounds like she’s trying a little too hard, and there are better versions of all of these songs elsewhere.

Surprisingly soulful. Some totally good songs, but not many relistens.

This is #day175 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and... here's another album from the '60s. Dusty is definitely an icon of the era, and the album is lovely, and all that, but I can't think of a moment I'd want to put it on again. This is a 3 out of 5. Looking forward to #day176.

You Don't Own Me is good

Although I did/do enjoy her live "Dusty in Memphis" quite a bit this studio debut is a bit old-timey for my specific tastes, but can still appreciate the musicality of not just her voice but the compositions and arrangements. A good bunch of these became standards or were covered by others so I was surprised how much sounded familiar. It is a great time capsule to the early 60s pop music scene and you can definitely hear her influence on the next generations of female vocalists - for that alone it's a more than worthy addition to this list. 6/10 3 stars.

Good stuff, but I don't know in which context or mood I would listen to this

Nice easy listening with some familiar songs

3.5

вроде и прикольно, голос красивый, но текста такие наивные и лживые, ну прям будто тп писала их, 7/10

Well this is an interesting album, like I have heard her big songs but this is a very much 60s album and it was very good! I enjoyed it quit immensely!

Rätt likt det andra albumet jag hörde, men inget som riktigt stack ut här.

Eh

Nothing unpleasant about this, but nothing that wowed me either. I thought it wore out its welcome just a touch, although as I write that I’m enjoying the final song. Maybe cut 2-3 just before this final one.

This is a difficult album to rate. I’ve always loved Dusty Springfield, but this isn’t her best work. No surprise that it’s her debut - it’s generic 60s pop, without the soul of her later work (“Son of a Preacher Man”, “Spooky”, or “Windmills of Your Mind”). As such, we don’t get her best vocal performances. Wishin’ and Hopin’ is the only song I really like here, and there’s a couple of others which pale in comparison to the originals (“You Don’t Own Me” and “Will You Love Me Tomorrow”) - this wouldn’t matter as much if Dusty’s versions were a bit more elaborate rather than just imitations of the originals. The rest is just easy-listening background music.

Good songs Good voice Can't complain

great voice, some great songs, some yawn. 3/5

Fun to read WHY this album matters at all. Lots of racial cross over

Decent, 3.1

She`s great

Good Bacharach standards, well sung. It just goes on a bit too long

Pretty decent.

This was a fun album to listen to, not something I would have picked for myself so I appreciate this album generator expanding my horizons a bit more. She has a very strong voice which I really enjoyed. My favorite track was probably her rendition of “You Don’t Own Me” I really liked her version of it. I thought the album flowed well together and was able to mix happier and upbeat songs well with the slower and more emotional songs. I think this album is a 3, definitely had some songs I really enjoyed and a few I probably would skip on an another listen.

Makes want to play some stick ball beside an open fire hydrant in the streets of Brooklyn.

Frankly, I'm mostly finding myself... Like, just unsure why this album was included on this list. The way I figure it, if you've heard DUSTY IN MEMPHIS, you're probably good for Dusty Springfield albums you "need" to hear. It's the one with "Son Of A Preacher Man", after all. With a doubt, that's her greatest song, with or without a popularity boost from Tarantino. The rest of the album is pretty good blue-eyed soul, too, so... I'unno, I just can't imagine what else you're supposed to get from a **second** album of hers that IN MEMPHIS doesn't already provide. And it's not like this album provided a good answer. Like, yeah, it's a 60's pop album, composed entirely of covers. And, look, I'm not down on covers, or largely recording songs the artist didn't write; as long as the artist can provide something new or that makes it uniquely their own. Elvis did that all the time — and "Son A Preacher Man" falls into this as well, since not only did Dusty not write it, but it was originally meant for Aretha. Now, "Son Of A Preacher Man" turned out to be a classic, whether it's Dusty or Aretha singing it. Meanwhile, this album, being 100, makes me wonder what's so special about Dusty Springfield. She's a great singer, and she's got range, and it's all a pretty fun listen, but... What's the big deal about this album, besides the fact that it's from the woman who'd go on to be the second pick to sing "Son Of A Preacher Man"? I'm willing to bet, there's probably a dozen other records from 1964 alone that'd sound just as good as this one. So why does **this** hafta be something I **need** to hear before I die? Now, I'm not gonna be a complete jerk about that, like so many others would be. To my ears, this is still a pretty solid 3. It's a good listen that I can't say I didn't enjoy. I'm just lost on what that "special something" is really supposed to be. Like, this could have been any girl called anything, y'know? But, eh, whatever. I'm not gonna throw a fit about it. Besides, at least it was a way better listen for this Randomizer than American Music Club's CALIFORNIA, even if that's not a very high bar to clear. Jus', goodness.

6.2/10

A chord in my heart for Dusty is being struck. You can hear the influence of American soul being the underlying impulse behind her voicing--and that voice! This cover shows Dusty the nonconformist, blue-shirted soul getting an early airing, Bacharach David and Dozier Holland and Goffin King (throw in some Ray Charles) getting behind her and propelling this album into the stellar pop pantheon.

She does have a lovely voice and these are great songs but maybe history has changed the narrative coz this didn’t feel original or groundbreaking. It just felt like her interpretations of other (better) originals.

It's funny how different a listening experience can be given different variables. Marianne played this in the car as we were driving around this weekend and at a lower volume, playing in the background, I was finding Dusty's vocals were grating on me in a similar way Adele does, and I wasn't enjoying it very much. But a more focused listen later on revealed a more nuanced vocal, and I was also struck by how few artists Dusty had as milestone markers along the way. She was certainly breaking ground in the early-to-mid-'60s. But... I didn't exactly love it. It's good stuff, all the more given the time period and musical landscape, but this ain't my jawn.

This album has quite some classics of the 60s sound that I didn't know were from Dusty. It is a sound I do enjoy but I'm not a huge fan of it. The songs are great though, and her voice is unique and pleasant to listen to.

3.5/5

Absolutely incredible voice, but an album of mostly covers, even if that was the norm back in the day, should not be on this list.

A really good listen! Classic collection of songs and sung with lots of vigor!

Mmhm

this was pretty nice but weirdly not for me even tho i thought i was poised to love this

Lovely but somewhat repetitive

Contains several covers, which are not done as well as the original artists. She does have a great voice, rich and gravely. Includes the classics "Wishin' and Hopin'" and "I only want to be with you", which are great and really play to Dusty's voice and style.

Pretty solid, very fifties vibes, kinda like grease or a retro diner. Heard a couple songs without even knowing before Fave song: when the light starts shining thru Least fave song: mama said Would I listen again: maybe as background noise or if feeling jazzy

I like Dusty's voice and love Summer Is Over, but I wouldn't necessarily listen to the album again.

Lovely album. Lovely lady.

A timeless classic You Don't Own Me. But album does get a bit monotonous after a while.

Greats standouts, does fall to some 60s cliches often enough to get boring

Great voice, songs a bit uneven.

Full of iconic songs, this album is a total delight. (Whether or not some of those songs would have so successfully stood the test of time had they not been sung by Dusty… I suspect not.) The perfect soundtrack to Christmas morning in many ways – even the heartbreaks are sunny. I’m landing on four stars because the album itself didn’t have that artistic cohesion that I expect from a five star record (I’m sure that having had Pink Floyd recently has had an influence). Still, bangers.

genérico até o cu fazer biquinho, mas num eh ruim não. tem umas bem sessentistas, bem divertidinhas, mas é isso. num fede nem chera

Blind album and artist. I recall hearing some of these somewhere but can't put my finger on it... I'm sure it'll come to me one day. Album was alright and a lot of the same thing. Catchy at times.

I was surprised by how many of these songs I knew. This album got very repetitive. It seems like if you were a woman singer in this time period, you had to sing almost exclusively about men 🙄

pleasant old-school listening. Can imagine my grandparents listening to this back in the day

In most cases, the originals were better. 3/5

Well, this is pleasant. Obviously, Dusty in Memphis gets all the attention, but one gets a good sense that that album didn't come from out of nowhere. Probably not one I'll revisit all that much, but a nice enough half-hour's diversion.

Nice voice, ok songs

An alright album with alright music. Was that necessary here?

I heard many songs from Dusty Springfield here and there, on compilations or soundtracks. I always loved her stuff! First time listening to a full LP of this artist and this was exactly what I expected, nothing mindblowing, but really pleasant songs nevertheless.

I knew almost every song but didnt realize they were remixes.

6/10 - We have gone almost full circle now except that we still have around 700 albums to go. I think the other Dusty album should have also been a 3/10 I just did not know what my rating scale would be. It was a fine album but I am happy that I have finally caught up.

At first I wasn't enjoying this. A bit twee, dated. Not my thing. But the version of Will You Love Me Tomorrow saves it from total disgrace. Great version of a great song.

talented white lady sings motown karaoke

Pretty good, lots of classic songs

I did not use a private spotify session for this one. Lots of classics on this album, love her voice. Don't know when I would put this on, though. Maybe if traveled back in time to the sixties segregated south, running a whites only diner and I liked soul music.

Enjoyed it some good tracks :)

Incredible voice.

Not as good as the other Dusty Springfield album on the list.

Taking the best songs that America had to offer 10 years ago and performing them all together on an album that you name after yourself is the epitome of British excellence. This is an album for old racist fucks who have had 10 years of exposure to black American music and were finally ready to listen to it. The songs are fine, I don't think these versions add much to the original but Dusty seems like a swell lady and a talented singer.

Much like the previous album we had, this is perfectly fine, pretty bland 50's/60's pop music. It's not something I'd listen to regularly but wouldn't be annoyed if the whole album played in the background. It's funny to me that her debut album was all covers, but I guess that was relatively normal at the time this was made.

British white woman vaguely soul music? I wouldn't have guessed. Simplistic in nature with great vocals and that signature 60's sound. Overall, a fine listen.

Smooth!

thikai cha teti ramro ta manena

This sounds so different than Dusty in Memphis. I have not heard Thai album at all before. Some good songs and good performances. I don’t think I would have it on the list of 1001 but it was pleasant enough. .

Lovely album done by one of the best!

Not bad. Very doo-wop. I've heard a lot of these songs before, and I guess now I know where they all came from.

There is some amazing stuff on here but the quality isn't consistent throughout. But even at it's weakest point, her voice still makes everything enjoyable.

So , sometimes you stumble in some that you say"eh.. this is gonna suck" and then it's a pleasant surprise. Like this one. I know, it may be cheesy, but some of the classics still hold up, or at least for us Boomers that are pretty good.

Great songs but not the best versions

Great songs, sung beautifully, but it's all covers. That was common at the time of release, but there is no original work here, hence 3 stars.

che bella voce, che bel vibe. Dusty mi stai simpy

223/1001

Interesting how this album is all about Dusty Springfield and not at all about her at the same time. A large collection of cover songs from the 60s with the typical early-mid 60s sound and vibe. But to be fair, most of them benefit from being sung by Dusty. 3.5/5

I guess I really like the Dusty hits, not so much the other stuff

An enjoyable listen. It really feels like a solid representation of a mid 60s music

Sounds of my childhood. Dusty sounds like she's breaking ground here, and at the time I think she was. Nice listen.

Goeddd. Begint met André Hazes. Sowieso echt een erg goed album, maar net wat te lang vind ik

Classic 60's

You don’t own me is great, like really great! But honestly I just think dusty is a bit… meh. Sure great for her time just a bit… dusty? Honestly my favourite was I only wanna be with you so I was so disappointed after realising it wasted on the album. It’s just an okay album 3/5

A bit of a challenge chasing this album down. The album was reproduced so majorly that they decided to retitle it? I listened to the Stay Awhile album. It seemed that the track listing was mostly the same with a few extras This incarnation of Dustys music is so early 60s and honestly a relic. The background vocals and random string orchestra instrumentations are laugh inducing. I like 70/80s Dusty far more That said, I liked some of the songs in a non ironic way. Anyone Who Had A Heart , Wishin And Hopin, Will You Love Me Tomorrow were some enjoyable songs

Far too sultry for a girl from Skelmersdale or wherever it is she's from. Sounds pure West Coast LA, actually pure West Coast LA postcode. Either way, she sings beautifully, although as these songs aren't hers, you sometimes sense a slight emotional detachment.

Surprisingly enjoyed it

de_dust2

Not terrible, no real stand-outs on this one, though. Very glad I now know Dusty is not a boy..

You don’t need to hear it from me for it to be true that Dusty Springfield was an icon of her era, and one of the leading characters of the Swinging Sixties. But I’m really not all that familiar with her music. She seemed like a pretty cool person though. Best of all, she was pretty openly bisexual, which was a huge deal considering the standards of the 70s. But it’s interesting how this album resides when looking at it through a historical lens. This album draws heavily on the soft rock and roll, blue-eyed soul sound of the 50s. And in 1964, when basically every notable and memorable release from that year was a jazz album, this is an interesting callback. Plus, when this was made, it had only been a decade and a half since the 50s started. The most notable release from about 15 years ago is probably My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. We have to remember that what seems like history long past for us was once the new, cool thing. Which is wild to think about. But from the perspective of an actual listening experience, this album is just okay. I’ve expressive before that this era of music is sort of a gray spot for me, and that seems to be consistent here. There is just never enough going on in these old school rock and roll albums to keep me entertained. Plus, having her debut be entirely composed of covers maybe isn’t the best way to become familiar with the songwriting abilities and talents of Dusty. But thankfully, the one saving grace of this record is Dusty herself. She actually provides something to the covers, and her voice is wonderful. Definitely justifies why she was such a huge star back in the day. My score has less to do with her, and more to do with the music itself and my general bias towards this genre. Rating: 5/10

Favorite Track: Mama Said

Just to preface this review I listened to the original UK release track list with none of the bonus tracks to fully take in the record and its sequence as it was originally heard. Firstly, who would’ve thought a Brit could’ve pulled off the Motown sound with such ease. It may be unfair to just define the album’s genre as simply pop because there is a lot going on here musically. This record is packed with straight, to the point, and catchy tunes that really are a good example of the best from its era. The original album sequencing is pretty standard and is overall a cohesive and accessible listen.

Solid album of covers. It’s odd to me that it’s on this list.

A tremendous voice but on this album she sees trapped singing a lot of songs that are similar.

When I began to get into music in the early 60’s I had to be very selective about when and which album or single to buy. Money from a paper round and the odd 2/6d birthday money didn’t go far. Listening to this album today reminded me that at that time there was a series of albums featuring all the chart hits at the time. Not by the original artists but by session musicians and they were very close to the originals. From memory I think they were all called Top of the Pops and featured a bikini clad lady on the front. I bought one of these albums and my favourite track happened to be a cover of Dusty Springfield’s “I Only Want To Be With You” which is from this album. That track was on constant replay so the song is permanently imprinted in my brain. Other than that I had no further involvement with Dusty other than she appeared a lot on TV and had a hit with the Pet Shop Boys. I appreciated her vocal talents which is an understatement because perhaps she had one of the finest female voices in pop and soul. It wasn’t until recently when I have become reflective of all the music I may have missed because I was too busy with life, that I picked up a Dusty Springfield greatest hits CD at a charity shop. Thanks to that I am very familiar with mist of the songs on A Girl Called Dusty and I can now really appreciate what a talent she was. A good album. Note to self - Wiki states that the Top of The Pops series didn’t begin until 1968 so there must have been another similar series of covers around 1964 the date of this album’s release. Wonder what happened to that album as it’s no longer in my collection? 3/5 16/10/24

Ehh.. I really don’t have a lot to say about this. It’s old pop music from the early 60s that really sounds like it’s from the 50s. It sounds nice and has a few decent tracks, but this album is rather unremarkable. It doesn’t really stand out. The lyrics are passable, but most of the time they don’t really offer a whole lot. Springfield’s voice is what makes most of this album, along with a few backing instrumentals. But, they don’t carry the album. This album has its moments, but with it just being (sometimes nice) covers of songs with a 50s - 60s pop sounds it doesn’t really have too much going for it. It’s just rather unremarkable.

Pretty good album, I've heard it before and I still like it. She has a great voice and the songs are excellent and classic. I'm sure that I will listen to this many more times.

Peppy! Still not really that interesting, or more than just a kinda OK album. 3/5

Does not seem to be available anywhere anymore in the original format.

3,5*

Not too bad. I don’t see myself listening to it again.

Love Dusty, and this is a good album of covers by a 17 year old. But not great, yet.

Great voice but felt like a pretty generic 60’s female singer album.

Breaking away from my usual word salad reviews - I don’t really know to describe my feelings on this album in a lengthy manner. So this one will be short. It’s a fun record. The song selection, and renditions of said song selection, is actually quite excellent. 'You Don't Own Me', 'Do Re Mi', 'Mockingbird', 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow?', and 'Wishin' And Hopin'' are all particular standouts. But the true highlight of it all is Dusty Springfield's voice. She sings with a rare kind of warmth that is both relaxing on the ears and engages you with her great technique and how she can flawlessly hit every note that is thrown her way. I give this album an appreciative 3/5. Because as good as the songs are throughout this tracklist, there are better renditions of them out in the world, in my opinion. It's also hard to really look at 'A Girl Called Dusty' as anything groundbreaking or remarkable in the grand scheme of things - as it feels like it merely exists to showcase her vocals; and that's fine. But is it '1001 albums' I must experience before I die worthy? Not really. However, it is a fun listen nonetheless; even if it isn't the sort of LP I would go out of my way to play through my setup.

"Mockingbird"

Easy listen. Cool.

I am pleasantly surprised by this record. Some really memorable melodies and hooks, even though it sounds very dated.

This was some classic 50's, early 60's sound. Couple of fun songs on it. As a lot of people call out it is a lot of covers, which is odd for a debut album.

She can defo sing, overall the album passed by without much to note, went out on a great track though "summer is over" really liked that one

hmmm I didn't really love this so much. it wasn't bad but I just got kind of bored because the songs blended together pretty quickly to me. I've enjoyed other Dusty albums so maybe this one just isn't for me.

Quality classic and hip stuff. Dusty really was a treasure. It's an almost painful reminder of simpler times.

Several recognizable songs

Huh, I had no idea Dusty Springfield was British. I guess that explains why this random white lady is singing r&b and soul songs at the height of Motown? I knew a lot of these songs, but I didn’t particularly love her takes on them. She’s a competent singer, and she sings with a lot of passion — she can definitely belt (used to best effect on the closing track by Ray Charles, “Don’t You Know”). I also like the husky timbre of her voice. But there’s something about her tone I find off putting. It’s like a frog in the throat/country twang thing I can’t quite describe mixed with a bit of shrillness. There’s also often a sharpness that’s just not that pleasant to listen to. I wonder if that has something to do with her lacking the context/understanding of the importance of blue notes in this type of music. “Twenty-Four Hours from Tulsa” and “Nothing” seem to have her voice a bit lower in the mix, which softens some of the sharpness (the backing vocals help too). That’s probably why I think they’re some of the better songs on the album. “Anyone Who Had a Heart” is also a decent track, mainly because it showcases her smoother sounding upper register, as does “Wishin and Hopin.” The standout on this album is probably the Carole King-penned “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” though I still prefer the version by The Shirelles. In fact, on most of these tracks where there are more famous versions, I prefer the other artists over Dusty. This wasn’t a terrible listen, but I probably wouldn’t seek it out again. 3/5 (maybe 3.5 on a day when I’m in a good mood)

Happy to listen to but I wouldn’t say it’s revolutionary

This album wasn’t on Apple Music, but I was able to add all songs in order. She has a great voice and some fun songs. With that said, I doubt I’d put it on.

Really enjoyed it. Nothing that blew my socks off but great vibes throughout. 3.5 stars

Didn’t know anything about her beforehand. 1964. This album slaps! Yes, it has some sing-songy girl loves boy tracks, but the production on some is unique and beautiful. There is the harrowing strings on “You Don’t Own Me” and then the absolutely awesome harmonies on “lovelight”. And even the kitschy chorus on “wishin and hopin” made me chuckle and sing along instantly. Feels great to hear this music 60 years later and get to appreciate it. Stuff I’d incorporate into a party playlist. Fav track: When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes

No shade to Dusty, but this is a compilation of others’ hits and can’t stand up against the other great stuff here in my opinion. I don’t love her voice enough gor it to make up for anything either.

Gostei de algumas e outras achei bem fracas

All covers, and not particularly interesting ones.

Lækker produktion med vildt god dybde, var helt overrasket over at læse at det *ikke* er Phil Spector, det lyder ret Phil Spector-agtigt. Fed stemme.

Quite nice

Not sure why everybody is hating on this album… this is completely different for me and I quite like it.

Dusty sounds great on this set of cover songs.

dramatískt og yfirkeyrt en ég fíla það. 3,5.

Fun to listen to and obviously great singing, but shouldn't albums on this list bring a little more? Original songs, say, or at least significant reinterpretation?

An enjoyable album, with a few belters in there. Too long though, with a bit of filler.

Like it

She's a great singer, but the songs don't hold up. They all have better covers elsewhere. It's also a bit anachronistic - this is a 1964 album with mid 50s songs.

Reminds me of My Best Friends Wedding. She has some pipes.

so many hits. are these covers? need to research.

I like her voice and really enjoyed this album although there isn´t a single hit on and it mostly contains cover-versions. favourite: "You Don't Own Me", "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" 2,5

It's really easy to forget that Dusty had PIPES. This was a nice reminder, even if none of the selections are definitive for her or the songs.

I've always had a soft spot for Dusty Springfield, a folk singer who came to the US, heard soul music, and never looked back from that. It's fun to hear her takes on R&B songs well known and not, as well as to hear a British take on the sounds coming from places like Motown (a personal highlight of this album for me might honestly be the background vocals of the group the Breakaways) but I like Dusty best less when she's belting and more when she sounds totally laid back compared to the larger than life sounds around her, as on her masterpiece which I can't wait to get to.

I love her voice - though this is pretty straight stuff

Mostly a cover album which is kinda standard for the time. Love her voice tho

I find it kind of tricky to work out how to score these 50s/early 60s albums where artists sang songs written and sung by others previously, mixed in with some stuff they got to sing first. Am I just marking the voice alone in this case? I did enjoy this album (which I appear to have listened to some extended version), but primarily the upbeat numbers, the corny ballad stuff not so. And yes she had a great voice and the delivery full of vigour and enjoyment. I don’t usually comment on it, but it’s also a really cool album cover. I scored her other album on here a 3, but this was a bit better. However I’m not sure I can go much higher when ultimately most other artists have written their own material. As a slight aside. In this case it does feel a bit awkward that a British white girl is singing soul and mowtown type numbers. Must have been a stack of black artists with as good a voice who could have recorded it. However, if that’s the music Dusty liked then I guess nothing stopping her. Interesting to note the attitudes and marketability of things at the time. Now it’s more about looks.

She's got a great voice and there is just classy 60's/70's singer songwriter instrumentation (full orchestra/fun rock/jazz influences). Also I guess the white stripes covered one of her songs on this record.

An album very much of its time but well worth a listen

I don't dislike Dusty Springfield, and the songs are great, but sometimes she sounds like my grandmother singing the songs of her youth. This is a good example of this.

I enjoyed this quite a bit for being mostly covers. Not groundbreaking but she was easy to listen to.

continuing my mid streak with a perfectly fine slice of blue-eyed soul 6/10

Some amazing tracks (all covers of course). But great voice, love this era. Just nothing overly special at the end of the day

Not unpleasant, would probably go up with a more attentive relisten but it's not my current vibe

She's a great singer and she has a lot of great original songs. I guess your first album used to be covers to show off how you could sing and then people wrote songs for you? Some of these sound to me like she's trying to sound like an African American woman. But I guess if Elvis could get away with it. This is good I guess, I'd just expect to have an album on this list that was an album of Dusty originals instead of all covers

i wish this thing had half stars because this is the most two and a half stars album i've ever heard, but for the sake of you don't own me i will round up

Yeah, it is one of those two gigantic releases of hers. Filed to the brim with short immediate sounding pop songs, each having a bright bulging "hit attempt" written all over them.

classic ez listening

A nice debut with a handful of classics including several covers. However, Dusty does not yet have the emotional depth and sensuality that would later characterize her voice.

Thoughts before listening: A Dusty Springfield album that isn't the Memphis one? I've never seen any of her other albums getting praised so this is a little surprising. British female soul music is what I am expecting with this. Review: So I recognize a ton of these songs, but I don't think Dusty is the original artist. I am pretty sure that most of these songs were originally done by American artists, with many of them being done by black singers. Dusty has a great voice and these songs are arranged very well, which makes for an enjoyable listen. This is a 3-star album cause its not really my favorite style, but I can definitely hear that its high quality.

But I’d rather be listening to Dionne Warwick.

Solidly fine. Good for doing the washing up to.

A British approximation of some of the best American RnB & Soul songs and sounds of the early 60s. She brings a lot to the material - a charismatic performance and a wide ranging rich voice that's as comfortable belting out a powerful anthemic chorus as whispering a soft hushed line. The production is great too - nothing original really, but a solid recreation of the Stax, Spectre sound - lush and maximalist: gospel singers, horns, swelling strings, crispy clean guitars, jazzy drums, and a propulsive bass. The album is at its best on the uptempo RnB tracks that are brimming with energy, the slow soul ballads get mired in the mush of sentimental strings. Favorites are the ones I instantly recognized, incredible hits: Mama Said, Will you Love Me Tomorrow, I Only Want to Be With You

She's got a great, soulful voice and did a great job executing so many popular covers making them her own. I'm more impressed than I thought I would be even though this type of thing isn't really my jam. Nice, but probably not a repeat listen.

Available through YouTube but not Apple Music. Good, not great, early pop

Wishin' and Hopin'. I found it! The one single that stood the test of time. ... that somehow means the entire album must be heard before I died...? It's not a bad album, but I don't think I would have listed it as a timeless classic.

I have nothing to say about this really. It is exactly what I expected from a self titled 1964 album. Not bad, and not innovative.

Good voice, but thought it was a bit boring

Lot's of well known songs on this album. I only have the Silver Collection album of her. This is quite a nice album.

A little old-school for me. I was four years old when this album came out. My family was listening to classical music in the home for the most part. I just wasn’t exposed to it. But the more I listen to it the more I enjoy it. 3

This album had some songs I really liked! "Mama Said", "I Only Wanna Be With You" and "You Don't Own Me" in particular were very good.

p70. 1964. 3 stars. The source of all white female blue eyed soul. Mostly covers, and the production is horribly dated - but that's offset by THAT voice. When this is good it's excellent. Better quality control on the material and this could easily have been a 4 or a 5. When this is good it's excellent.

Surprised to read other reviewers bemoaning this being an album of songs not written by Dusty herself, as if Frank Sinatra or Aretha Franklin were singer songwriters. Especially given the wave of second rate cover versions we seem to be suffering recently. Admittedly this album is a vehicle for Dusty's voice and personality which are fantastic and deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the artists above. Very contemporary to Dionne Warwick and sharing some of "her" songs. But really Dusty herself is the reason for this album, amazing and unique voice, naturalistic phrasing on a bunch of generally good and in some places classic tunes. Pop goodness personified.

Highlights: Mama Said

It was okay. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible 3/5

I'm not sure why my initial thought was Meh when this popped up. I love Bacarach-esq music and Dusty's voice is amazing. Enjoyed it!

Hits

I like Dusty a lot. She has a wonderful voice and has some all time classic songs on her discography, but I don’t think an album consisting of mostly covers warrants a spot on this list.

A pretty amazing voice and some great song choices.

Highlights: You Don't Own Me, 24 Hours From Tulsa, Anyone Who Had A Heart. In a nutshell: the debut from of a 60s pop queen. As a debut, it's good. Not perfect. I got the feeling it was a rushed recording. Mockingbird could have used a different singer to do the call and response then carry on with backing, because it feels weird to have Dusty singing with herself. PS. I stan Hal David and Burt Bacharach. Overall: 5/10

Classi

So I actually really enjoyed this, Dusty has a nice voice and this list is pretty desperately light on early female vocalists. It's a very '60s pop sound and while it definitely sounds dated now, it's nice. Maybe this shouldn't be a huge knock, but (basically?) everything on here is a cover. That's not completely out of line for the time I guess, but it does take it down a bit for me. It's also worth noting that a lot of the covers are of black artists (the Shirelles, the Supremes, etc.). She seems to have been really influenced by early soul music (allegedly why she launched a solo career, her early work was with with a few folk-pop trios). There also seems to be a bunch of different versions of the album. The Spotify version is missing a bunch of songs and is slightly different from what Wikipedia says. I guess the original record was never released in the US, then she released a different version a few years later, and there's also been a bunch of singles releases and later CD releases. It makes it a bit confusing, but you get the vibe pretty quickly. For the second day in a row, this is probably a 3.5, but I'm leaning towards rounding down. It's very nice, but probably won't stick with me a ton and it's a bit less cohesive than a lot of other albums on here. Favorite song: You Don't Own Me Other: Mama Said, When the Love Light Starts Shining Through His Eyes, My Colouring Book, Anyone Who Had a Heart, Will You Love Me Tomorrow, Wishin' and Hopin' 6/17/24

Like it

This was a good listen. Had no idea she was British

So good. Much better than i was expecting. Very strong 3.

You Don't Own Me Wishin' And Hopin'

Better than a 3, not quite a 4.

la mejor es when the love light starts shining thru his eyes sin duda (larguísimo el nombre eh)

Beautiful voice, lovely pop songs. Not really a stand out for this list as I don't think it has much creative merit but I pleasant listen.

Classic songs. Never knew who sang them

Dusty Springfield brings a nice blend of classic country crooner and 50s/60s doo-wop pop vibes with this album. While there are a lot of so-so songs and covers on this record, there are a few that stand the test of time and are still played and referenced to this day. Shoutout to Dusty for serenading me during many a shift at Walgreens with the classic "Wishin' and Hopin'". A light, pleasant listen for a Friday morning. Notable Tracks: You Don't Own Me When The Love Light Starts Shining Thru His Eyes Wishin' and Hopin' 6/10

Einige Coverversionen dabei. Also Lieder, die später gecovered wurden.

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this album half as much as I did! I'm not sure if it had much to do with Dusty herself or just the fact that there were some great songs I recognised from all over the place. It seems odd that a covers album would make it to this list, especially considering that the tracks weren't interpreted much differently from their originals. This is like a Karaoke album! But I liked it all the same

I quite enjoyed this one!

I definitely expected more albums older than the '80s when I started this list so it's good to see something from the '60s again. I've also noticed that my reviews are more often about how terrible the list is than the albums themselves.

i like dusty but why is an album composed solely of covers on a list like this?

It was good. Typical 60s pop, nothing special.

very long, couple good songs, overall decent. not exactly my kind of music though

Great voice.

For the time, this seems like it was a pretty banger album.

A very sweet record Dusty has a great voice and smooth delivery. I don't think it's the best song selection, though I love the second half with the Bacharach songs in it

Just a set of covers, with no real personality added to anything, but Dusty’s voice really elevates everything. I enjoyed it but there was nothing special enough about this to put it on the list. Then again if there were no Dusty albums on the list that would be bad too, so maybe they just picked one more or less randomly. 3.5 stars

This type of music reminds me of being a kid in the back seat on road trips, when it gets late and the only thing that picks up is Oldies on the AM radio. Good tunes, great voice.

This was a sweet listen. The songs here have a certain "rare" quality, you don't hear this sound so often any more. I particularly enjoyed You Don't Own Me, Mockingbird and Twenty-Four Hours From Tulsa. I wouldn't consider it to be a repeatable album but it was nice as a one-off.

"A Girl Called Dusty" is Dusty Springfield's debut studio album, released in 1964. It features a collection of soulful and sophisticated pop tunes that showcase Springfield's remarkable vocal talent. Tracks like "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself" and "All Cried Out" are particularly memorable, with Springfield's emotive delivery shining through. The album's production, while somewhat dated by today's standards, has a charming quality that adds to its nostalgic appeal. Springfield's voice is the star of the show, effortlessly gliding over each track with grace and power. While "A Girl Called Dusty" may not have the same level of polish as some of Springfield's later work, it remains a strong debut that highlights her incredible vocal abilities. It receives a rating of 3 out of 5.

The album is not available on YouTube Music nor could I find it on Spotify so I created my own playlist of the songs and listened to it on Spotify. Who knew I'd know (remember) so many of these songs! Just goes to show how old I am. ;-) 3 stars

Good music. Very nice vocals.

very meditative. once upon a time we could hold each other tight but that loving paradigm has been shattered without purpose. i know its not a crime to say bye without a rhyme but you didnt leave a dime or a letter for my person. you think i try to whine but the words that here i cry are not tears for a grey sky, but for my womanly brethen. girl he might leave you behind, but life flows like the nile, because the contract we sign is written with and old pencil. i like it

Feels very much like a collection of singles. Love her voice

It was pretty good.

Nice voice, okay songs, but in the end it doesn't even matter. Nothing special to talk about.

Good

it was ok

It’s fine. I was a bit surprised actually. I had heard a few of these songs but didn’t know the artist. She had more soul and energy than I was expecting, but I didn’t give this album enough attention. Maybe it didn’t deserve it. Maybe I’ll listen again. It’s me, not you.

dont think i listened to the whole thing bc i was super tired. i prefer the other kind of 60s music like the doors

this was fine, but not anything particularly groundbreaking. i think it was all covers too. it was nice but not sure if it's really "1001 albums" worthy.

this was nice enough, though maybe a bit underwhelming. dusty has a great voice and handles the varied genres of these covers well, but nothing sticks out to me as particularly impressive or interesting. another day, another chance to wonder why this album made the list. i'm imagining the abe simpson meme with the text "we made a boring cover album, which was the style at the time" favorites: mama said, you don't own me, wishin' and hopin'

I forgot about Twenty-Four Hours From Tulsa. I like it. Spunky version of Will You Love Me Tomorrow

Not bad, but uneven. It really feels like she decided to write a dozen love songs that could match whatever relationship and mood you happen to be in.

Favorite Tracks: You Don’t Own Me Mama Said Wishin’ and Hopin’

Album 387 of 1001 Rating : Dusty Springfield - A Girl Called Dusty Rating : 3.5 / 5 Some great classic tunes. Brings to mind the time I spend around 5th or 6th grade wearing out the American Graffiti soundtrack. Kind of at the end of one musical era as another began.

First two tracks are amazing. It stays solid but never reaches those heights again.

This wasn’t on my streaming service, but I know many of the songs. It’s fine, but not my style.

Dusty sings well enough, but there were a couple songs where her vocals couldn't save it for me, like "Do Re Mi" and "Twenty-Four Hours From Tulsa". The songs are sometimes a little unremarkable, but then again, not all covers are created equal. Still worth a listen.

Powerful. Last song reminded me of Adele work. 3.5/5.

I liked this more than I anticipated, and that’s because, for it not because of this website, I never would’ve taken the plunge. But I’m glad to have dabbled in potential bi-con Dusty Springfield.

Easy listening Perfectly enjoyable

A lot of the records on this list are ahead of their times but that's not the case here. Dusty gets points for some really great recordings of really great songs but they're mostly rips of other people's work. That was common for the time (especially among white performers covering songs by black artists) but it still makes me wonder why this was included in the list. It was enjoyable but nothing groundbreaking.

It's okay, but could have lived without listening to this album. Honestly, it feels like taking a bunch of Motown hits and saying, hey, you don't need to listen to black artists, a white girl can sing these adequately for you. Seems to fit in with what was going on in the 60s.

Good pop album

C'était chill et relax.

It was fine. Production doesn't hold up to today's standard ofc but her voice is great. 3 stars
