[.ca] Come to My Garden

angelic:
words cannot describe how beautiful this album really is. it has lush arrangements and gorgeous orchestrations combined with minnie's sweet delicate voice.a truly beautiful one of a kind.beautifully haunting and enchanting.(with tunes co-written by earth,wind & fire's maurice white and the late charles stepney. produced by charles stepney)

Some of the most beautiful music in existence:
This is the collaboration of two great talents who are unfortunately no longer with us: Minnie and Charles Stepney. Stepney's gorgeous production of jazzy bossanova and lush strings are a perfect fit for Minnie's angelic voice. The songs are at once romantic, dramatic, engaging, relaxing, joyful, and sweetly sad...similar to Bacharach, but different. The best way I can describe this sound is progressive easy listening -- but even that's unfair. This is music that is a far cry from Minnie's later hit-driven work. It is music to come home to relax to. It is music to chill out to with a special one. It is music to challenge your way of thinking (the trippy lyrics). When I first heard this album I was with my special one on a rainy weekend we had together. It was a perfect soundtrack to a perfect time. But even apart from that personal association, "Come To My Garden" is a timeless piece of work that belongs in your collection.
