Customer Reviews

Yall are a bunch of haters!
To the two reviewers below, I hope you guys do something else besides critique other peoples' hard work, cuz you SUCK at it! Sunshine did a wonderful job on this cd. How can you actually knock someone or review someone if you are not favorable to that particular genre, even? I've read some of your SICK reviews and honestly I think you should keep your darned opinions to yourselves. If I based my decision to buy this cd on you guys, I would have missed out on a wonderful cd... True enough, at first, it sounds good, but the more you listen to it, it gets better and better... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE "Wear the Crown"... And by the way, were you aware that Raphael Saadiq is one of the composers? Duh! I simply believe that his awesome r&b track record speaks for itself! Go critique yourself and sit down somewhere! I also like, "With You Baby". To the fans or just curious potential buyers or browsers, if you like Syleena Johnson or r&b/ blues type, Toni Braxton, or just a good singer (because she is great and has wonderful range), and laidback melodic and syncopated rhythms and music, then I suggest this album to you! :) I LOVE YOU SUNSHINE!!! Please don't be discouraged by the haters because your fans really support you...

2 1/2 stars - Another dream deferred
Sunshine Anderson - Sunshine at Midnight (Music World, 2007)

In 2001, Sunshine Anderson kicked her trifling man to the curb in the slammin' anthem, "Heard it All Before". She released Your Woman to favorable reviews but that album wasn't exactly flying off the shelves. She was soon demoted to one-hit wonder status and went the way of Blu Cantrell and Truth Hurts. Usually, one-trick ponies don't get another chance, especially not from former Destiny's Child manager Mathew Knowles, who scooped her up to release her second album, Sunshine at Midnight. Unfortunately, Sunshine and her team ruin the moment to capitalize on this second chance.

Most of these moments are just like the song title of Sunshine's only hit: you've heard it all before. Her single, "Something I Wanna Give You", holds nothing back as she tells her loser man, "You were so-so in bed/I faked it more times than I can count on my hand", but this is just a lazy rehash of the aforementioned hit. Other songs find Sunshine fumbling by either singing uninspired lyrics or just sounding uninspired by her singing (she never did had the best voice). Even Raphael Saadiq's production can't save "Wear the Crown"; however, her last album's main contributor, Mike City, does save the only tracks that he produces. Yes, the sophomore jinx rears its ugly head as the album has no replay value whatsoever, perhaps making the sun set on this lady's once-promising career. -EJR

Nice
Sunshine has the potential to be around for long time in the business as long as she keeps some great writers creating material just for her! She can truly sing! Great CD!
