Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful. Comment: I read every poor review of this album, and every person said the same thing: they can't stand Antony's voice. I think it's beautiful and I could listen to it and his incredible music all day (and I have). Antony makes me very happy. Customer Rating: Summary: Antony - Haunting Comment: Saw him perform on the I am Your Man Leonard Cohen Bio-Pic and was intrigued by voice and style. Artist has great, haunting falsiccato voice and his songs evoke a great sense of pain and confusion in his life. A must listen (intently) to. Customer Rating: Summary: Product as described, price excellent, timely delivery. Comment: Product as described, price excellent, timely delivery. What recording company fool decided to put Antony in the "Easy Listening" category?! Sure, his amazing voice is easy to listen to, but this is NOT elevator music. The band is tight, Antony's voice is flawlessly on pitch and totally original. Forget what you've read about comparisons to other singers, he's got his own style and swing. Great for jazz lovers (and I'm one), altie fans and anyone with an ear for unusual, adventuresome virtuosity. Customer Rating: Summary: A stunning piece of music Comment: This is my favourite cd in a large collection. Absolutely hanging out to hear the new album due for release soon!! Customer Rating: Summary: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Comment: This is an awesome album. I can understand why some people don't like it. It's not everyone's cup of tea. Overall, I would say it takes some getting used to, but once you do, every song is perfect! More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Singer-songwriter/pianist Antony is one of those rare artists who, while not unprecedented, still emerges as singular. His is an an arresting vibrato and his presence is gender-anxious and confrontational in its vulnerability. His fey yet firm poise is quivering, tension fraught, but never engulfingly overwrought. Menored by Lou Reed, Boy George, Rufus Wainright and Devendra Barnhart, Antony presents a unique spectoral sound of faded, frayed glamour. This his second album I am a Bird Now is a polished gilded productions including a bluesy purr worthy of Nina Simone in "My Lady Story" and "Fistful of Love," with its Muscle Shoals horn blurts-meet-Weimar cabaret swoons via The Velvet Underground's shuffle. As a whole, I Am a Bird Now exhibits a downy affinity for androgynous eccentricity. Rough Trade. 2005.
