I love her songs Jealousy and Carnival! She has one amazing voice, she sort of reminds of Tracy Chapman and how her voice coprehends with the music. Please e-mail me (bigalbarnes13@yahoo.com)

Natalie has the most wonderful voice and she uses it so well! She was just as great when she was in 10,000 Maniacs! All the songs are beautiful and her rich voice makes you want to listen to them over and over again! I'd say go get this album as wel...l as all the other ones that she has made! Keep singing Natalie! You're great!!! Read more Less

Miss Merchant is simply remarkable in this album. My Beloved Wife and Carnival are my favorite songs. Keep up the good work that you are doing for music. Looking forward to your next album release.

The Merchant-Sound

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 20, 1999

Natalie Merchant was only sixteen, when she founded the 10,000 Maniacs and was the band's lead-singer on a couple of records. Now, with "Tigerlily" she presents her first solo-release, and with it comes the original and unmistakable Merchant-Sound. ...First of all there's the clarity and intensity of her voice, all in all striking. Furthermore the instrumentation on most of the tracks is rather decent, focusing on piano or guitars, although this doesn't go for the whole record. The opening of the groovy "Carnival" reminds me - believe it or not - of Santana. Katell Keineg's fine background vocals rend this track one of the best of the album. "Wonder" is nothing but brilliant pop. Still, Merchant focuses on ballads, like the somewhat haunting "I May Know The Word" or the breathtaking "Seven Years". Sometimes you get the feeling, that it's a little bit too much, the music in fact lacks of groove. "River" or "Cowboy Romance" are fine songs, but I found myself wondering, where those songs were heading at - I never found out. "Tigerlily" is a great debut of a solo Natalie Merchant and a fine album after all. Whoever loves this one should purchase her second release. I recommend both of them. Read more Less

Beautiful voice, the best I've heard.

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 29, 1999

Ms. Merchant has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. If more albums are made, I advise purchasing them. God has given this girl a real gift. It is nice to listen to because it is very calming, and her music makes you think of the mor...e simpler things in life. Thank you Natalie! Read more Less
