Robi's third CD is a good choice!: This is her third solo CD. She does a lot of covers on this CD. In fact, I think the only original English track is the title song, "All I Want Is You," which is very catchy. She sings the last part of "Blue Bayou" in French. She does a good job on the cover songs, and stays true to the original while adding her own touch. "Tamari'i Hokule'a" is the usual Tahitian contribution, and my favorite non-English track on the CD. I do wish there were more original English songs though. She typically ends her CD's with a vintage instrumental jazz performance. Robi co-arranged many of the songs, including "Do It Twice," "Blue Bayou," "Tamari'i Hokule'a," "Ku'u Mau Lei Onaona," "Landslide," "Give Me One Reason," "No Ke Kula O Waihou," "Tomorrow Robins Will Sing," and "Take It To The Limit." She also co-produced the CD. Robi sings music that brings joy to your heart and makes you feel good, and I love her for it.
Robi Rocks: Robi rocks on this cd! "Do It Twice" is such a catchy tune and the mix of Hawaiian styles with Bob Marley's lyrics is a match made in heaven! There is such versatility on this album from a Stevie Nicks song (Landslide) to a Tracy Chapman song (Give Me One Reason) to Ku Kahakalau's numerous songs. We have a myriad of languages as well - Hawaiian, English, Tahitian, and French. Hapa Haole Hula Girl is a fitting tribute to her father and has a tune that will make you dance all the day long!
All you want is this album: The album is full of classic covers and really nice originals. Tomorrow Robins will sing is a very uplifting song. Several songs are sung in Hawaiian(Polynesian) and are very easy on the ears. If you buy this album, you will not regret your decision. It is a very good album to listen to while driving or just hanging around the house.
