ALI MILNER
I Dare You
(Independent)
Strong visuals and a confident versatility makes Milner stand out among the many women performers around here. Milner has a nice light touch that simply dances over a latin-flavoured pop song such as
"Break Away," which could have been a hit for The Drifters back in the early '60s, can be playfully coy in "Don't Forget to Call Me," visits Motown with "Gonna Dance" and touches on reggae with "I Wanna Be Loved By You." Opening song "Crystal Clear" has maturity and rings with an authority that suggests it could be an instant classic.
With discreet use of strings and brass, I Dare You, is full and fully-formed. Watch her. B
