Anita Baker - My Everything (2004)Following nearly a decade's hiatus, Baker returned to the recording studio with 2004's MY EVERYTHING, and, happily, very little had changed. She hadn't tinkered one bit with the sound that made her a beloved singer, emerging with a record both comforting and enrapturing. "You're My Everything" contains lyrics straight out of a WWII-era torch song, and a vibe th...
I'm still stuck in the past, stopping off in the 1980's. It's amazing how one thing in a music video can make it memorable enough to seek out the artist. Here, it's a handkerchief, used by Anita Baker for her landmark "Sweet Love" video. Since then, I've compared other soulful singers to Ms. Baker, and...far too many lack passion or a handkerchief!

It's early Sunday morning, so there's still some Saturday passion left before sunrise. That's something that "Venus Flytrap" of "WKRP" might say as he put Anita Baker on and poured some wine for his current radio booth mate. So, will you still love her tomorrow/today?
Originally posted on September 25th, 2006Anita Baker’s voice makes me smile practically every time I hear it. Today was one of those mornings where her singing felt downright therapeutic.From what I have read, most of the “Compositions” album was recorded live in the studio with only a few overdubs.Compassionate lyrics, a voice that nearly defines the word “Soulful”.
