Album Name: Now and Zen
Artist: Norine Braun
Year/Label: 2003 / Braun and Brains music
Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Norine Braun makes music that’s impossible to pigeonhole. She covers a lot of ground on this record.
The soulful “Intimate Hour” deals with therapy. Brown raps capably on it.
“Buffalo Nights” is a freefloating track with a jazzy, laid-back vibe.
“J’en Suis Desolee” is funky and cool. There doesn’t seem to be a genre Braun can’t call her own. Yet she manages to make her album a cohesive whole.
“I’m the 1” rocks out fiercely. Braun delivers a feisty vocal.
Then there’s “Maya”, her sweet ode to Maya Angelou.
If you like your music eclectic try “Now and Zen”.
