Sound Of A Woman
As evidenced by her cover here of Haddaway\'s \"What Is Love,\" Canadian singer/songwriter Kiesza is a fiend for early-\'90s club music. Combine that with refined dance production (à la Disclosure), and you\'ve got *Sound of a Woman*, her sizzling debut. From the single \"Hideaway\" to \"No Love,\" the album borrows from old-school staples like CeCe Peniston\'s \"Finally\"—but the time machine doesn\'t stop there: \"Losin\' My Mind\" is sultry hip-hop à la En Vogue, and \"Giant in My Heart\" sounds like C+C Music Factory. But Kiesza slows things down, too, with slow jams like \"Piano\" and \"Over Myself\" spotlighting her powerhouse pipes. **
The earliest music of Calgary's Kiesa Rae Ellestad leaned toward folk, and then she hooked up with producer and current collaborator Rami Samir Afuni, who has written and arranged for the likes of LMFAO and Miley Cyrus. The duo's debut is largely made up of attempts to recreate the success of their pop hit, “Hideaway”.
