Product Description

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Personnel: Toby Lightman (vocals, acoustic guitar, programming); Peter (acoustic & electric guitars, pianet, keyboards, bass, drums, programming); Nile Rodgers, Gerry Leonard (electric guitar); Sandy Park (violin); Jesse Levy (cello); Leon Pendarvis (strings); William Gallison (harmonica); David Mann, Andy Snitzer (saxophone); Jeff Kivet (trumpet); Ozzie Melendez (trombone); Tom Barney (electric bass); Bashiri Johnson, Joe Bonadio (percussion); Jen Scaturro (programming).
Recorded at Big Much Studios, New York, New York.
LITTLE THINGS, the confident debut from Toby Lightman, finds the New Jersey singer heavily under the influence of R&B and pop, and refreshingly devoid of the vocal tics and twirls beloved by some of her contemporaries. With a sound reminiscent of a poppier Norah Jones, Lightman is by turns seductive, innocent, and accusatory, backed by production that's supportive but not overly intrusive. This leaves plenty of room for her vocal talents to shine through on songs such as "Devils and Angels" and "The River."
She toughens up the light R&B of "Leave It Inside," but is sensitive enough to let the simple message of "Running Away" speak for itself without resorting to melodrama. This last track is a particular highlight, with Lightman's vocal framed by acoustic bass and guitar, proving that this talented young singer needn't restrict herself to a purely pop framework to be successful.

トビーライトマンは店頭に並んでたセカンドが気になり輸入盤で購入。シェリルクロウのようなロックンミュージックにソウルグルーウ゛あふれる声!いいわ〜。ファーストもこれから買って聴きます。

@、A、Bがとても叙事的な曲。曲の世界に引き込まれるのではなく、目の前の景色と一体になる感じ。声質はアンナ・ナリックに似てると思う。あんまり売れてなさそうで、心配。ずっと2th待ってんだけど、まだかなあ。
