 Fillippin' Out with Charmaine Clamor! July 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
From Nina Simone covers to Tagalog and Bisayan traditional melodies, Charmaine Clamor's sophomore release, Flippin' Out is the true definition of world music which upholds a strong sense of self and family and represents a standard that is to be held throughout the 21st century for jazz singers and musicians worldwide.
The opening track of Flippin' Out, "My Funny Brown Pinay," sees an empowering anthem aimed at women of all sizes and colors that cleverly plays on Rodgers & Hart's "My Funny Valentine" with re-imagined lyrics and stereotype-defying content that showcases the bi-lingual, smooth and warming jazz style that Charmaine has dubbed, "Jazzipino." Throughout the highs and lows of this assertive number, we are reminded of our own individual beauty and the reality of society's misleading definition of beauty and fleeting hold on our world's population.
Change is good. Charmaine has definitely changed the way many will listen to music in the future as well as having updated a few classics... ...such as U2's 20th century pop hit, "With or Without You," where we are treated to some of the most beautiful low notes our musical scale has to offer, as delivered by one of the most versatile female vocalists of the last 50 or so years. Afterwards, we are left high on a cloud, somewhere between the feeling of being haunted and enlightened, as we move into the middle section of Flippin' Out.
Tracks 6 through 10 make up the most interesting midsection of any album we've listened to this year with her `Filipino Suite' while featuring excellent kulintang representation and masterful ukulele playing on "Panahon Na," along with Richard Ickard's charming guitar playing and Guinness Book of World Record composition by Lucio San Pedro & Levi Celerio.
Don't be misled, as Ms. Clamor is quite versatile, despite the overall jazz theme, as we find her moving seamlessly through several languages, genres and vocal stylings as we progress towards the end of Flippin Out, along with a group of fantastic musicians further supporting and complimenting her uniqueness from start to finish.

This incredibly talented and beautiful singer will change the way you think about so called "jazz" singing. She has taken a rather antiquated mode of music and made it her own. I hear a lot of soul and passion in her voice, which recalls people like Sarah Vaughan and Nina Simone. But Ms. Clamor has a sound and style that is all her own. She calls it "jazzapino" and even though I don't understand her native language of Tagalog, I feel each and every word. She is a uniquely expressive artist.

Soft, poetic, yet powerful, this CD sings to you with heart, soul, and passion. Ms. Clamor is not only musically talented, but a hottie, too -- the total package. Anyone that enjoys beautiful music will feel fortunate to have this CD in their collection. I find that listening to Charmaine's sultry voice brings peace and tranquility into my stressful life. She's very soothing. Enjoy!

I was given this CD as a Christmas gift by a friend who knows that I am interested in anything Filipino. I also love jazz, so this was a great item to receive. As a singer, Charmaine is talented and doesn't disappoint on the old standards. But the best part to me was hearing contemporary jazz sung in Tagalog. It's great that a Filipino singer is making her language and culture more accessible via the international language of music. Can't wait to hear more from her.

I got "Flippin Out" for Christmas! It's one gift I'm going to be enjoying for years to come. Charmaine Clamor can siiiing. This girl is soulful. I was not familiar with the Philipino songs, since the ones they play on the radio here tend to be "Candy" and "Sugar in My Bowl," but I enjoyed her World Music selections for their gentle healing quality. I think Ms. Clamor is going to be known worldwide and I'm excited to have her first two albums. She's special.
