Pro Reviews: I Owe You
| EXPERT RATING: No Rating From AMG Reviews Prior to the release of I Owe You, the debut by urban gospel starlet Kierra "KiKi" Sheard, EMI Gospel went allout to make sure the album fulfilled expectations. After all, the label had just won a bidding war to sign the teenaged songstress daughter of the Clark Sisters' Karen ClarkSheard, granddaughter of church music matriarch Mattie Moss Clark. That's a lot of pedigree to live up to, so she was introduced with a bang: "You Don't Know," the stomping, Rodney Jerkinsproduced first single, became a smash at gospel radio, spending several weeks at the top of the charts. The song turned out to be an interesting thesis statement for the whole of I Owe You, as it rolled into one its mishmash of styles and sensibilities particularly topshelf urban pop and churchified contemporary gospel, plus a fair share of vocal acrobatics and dazzling, Clarklike harmonies. Outside of that song, I Owe You is much more conformist, breaking up into a number of parts but never quite reaching the neogospel, crossgenerational ingenuity of its inaugural song. On the one hand, there's Sheard the urban gospel sister, a fiery, commanding vocalist who isn't afraid to get down like colleagues Mary Mary and TrinITee 5:7 in songs like "Closer" and "Let Go." On the other, there's Sheard the budding RB diva, a delicate, smooth songbird with enough soul to sound every bit as Janet or Aaliyah. Lastly, there's Sheard the Clark, a potent, shrieking church soloist with a squall that can blow the roof off "Praise Offering" and "Done Did It." That I Owe You can be so easily compartmentalized is not necessarily a sign of versatility, but an indicator that KiKi is merely following the lead of others. This is not a big deal in the case of debut albums, but the seeifitsticks mentality is ultimately too jarring to take in all at once. It's nice of Sheard to let herself be all things to all people, but here's hoping the followup to I Owe You is truly more her, not who her handlers want her to be. - Andree Farias, All Music Guide |
