Sobre el álbum

El álbum que inaugura de forma espectacular la discografía de Kelly Price, "Soul of a Woman" de 1998, es una de las obras de debut más potentes y aclamadas del R&B de finales de los 90. Tras años como una reputada corista para estrellas como Mariah Carey o Whitney Houston, Kelly Price se presentó al mundo como una artista en solitario con una voz de un poderío y una carga emocional extraordinarios.

Por esta razón, el disco fue un éxito inmediato, tanto de crítica como de público. El sonido del álbum es puro R&B y soul, con una producción que combina la sensibilidad del góspel, del que Price proviene, con el sonido contemporáneo del R&B de la época. Las canciones exploran temas de amor, desamor y traición con una honestidad brutal.

El álbum contiene el single que la catapultó a la fama: "Friend of Mine". Esta poderosa balada, que en su versión remix cuenta con la colaboración de R. Kelly y Ronald Isley, narra una dolorosa historia de infidelidad y se convirtió en un número uno en las listas de R&B. Consecuentemente, el álbum alcanzó el estatus de platino.

"Soul of a Woman" es un debut magistral. Es la presentación de una de las grandes voces del soul de su generación, un trabajo que no solo demostró el inmenso talento de Kelly Price como cantante, y también como una compositora capaz de crear canciones de una profundidad y una verdad conmovedoras. Es una obra esencial del R&B de los 90.

    Letra

    [Intro] This song is dedicated To all the brothers out there Who've ever loved a woman Whether it was your mother Whether it was a lover Or whether it was your daughter In every woman lies a soul And in the soul of every woman Lies the secrets of love And sometimes You don't do right by her But the way back to her heart Lives in that same soul You just have to find it.... So pure, Mmmm There through thick and thin No shame in showing She is your best friend So strong And though you've let her down You won't see her frown But make it right and look inside [1] - You will find She was everything your heart desired But nevertheless, she cries But you never cherished her And you took for granted love You sigh Remembering the times she made you smile And knowing that down inside She was the only one Who'd love you forever more [2] - In her soul you'll find The way to bring her back into your world Grown mind But she's just a precious little girl In her soul you'll find The things that made your life seem so worthwhile Then you can give it in return So real, Mmm The way she'll sacrifice Only for you To have the best in life Been too long You need to let her know You wanna make it right You gotta touch her soul to find [Repeat 1] [Repeat 2] (You can't buy) Can never buy her love Can never buy her love Cuz money just won't fill the void You made oh no You wanna have her love You've gotta earn her love Her soul will lead the way And show you where to go [Repeat 2] [Repeat 2]
