The RAG MAG review of BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
Kama Linden Celebrates Independence With New Release
The Rag Mag
July 2008, Vol. 5 / 4
by Donnie G.
I first introduced the readers of The Rag
to Kama Linden in our October of 2005 issue.
At that time, I was extremely impressed with
her CD "Uninhibited". You could hear the
problems with past relationships in those songs.
At that time, I would have guessed she reached
her peak, because the material was that good!
Now in my possession is her latest release,
"Better Late Than Never". Not only do I feel that
she topped the last release, her material seems to
present her as a stronger person. One can learn from
their experiences!
The liner notes on the CD jacket explain that "Better
Late Than Never" is "a personal concept album." It is
her "own personal race against time." I don't know
what she is racing for because you can feel her energy
pulsating from the disc while it was spinning in my
player. You can still feel some of her pain, but she
is dealing with it better.
There are plenty of strong cuts on this album, with a
remix and an outro thrown in for good measure. She has
the pop music formula down to a science. The title
track is a strong piece that contains a moderate dance
beat. Her vocalizations flow with the music, as if it
was another instrument in the band. This tune, as well
as many of the others, is infectious enough to cause
you to remember the verses during your normal routine
of the day. "Been There, Done That" reminds me more of
an '80s dance number, with some of the instrumentation
reminding me of the great electronic outfits of that day.
"Easier" is just a great song, slowing down the pace of
the album. She tells her partner that he's got "more
issues than a magazine" and "more drama than a TV scene".
At least she stood up for herself!
It is really hard to pick the strongest cut on the album
because they all hold up real well. Other highlights
include "All About" and "Happy Girl", which flow into
each other. I love her proclamation: "Don't hate me,
'cause I'm a happy girl". She even adds a little scatting
later on the CD. Either way, this is a strong release from
a Pop Diva! Just like with her last release, Paul Snook
deserves kudos for making Linden's material come to life.
Not too many CDs come to me this polished, check it out!
