Reviews Customer Reviews for Surrender Athena Cage Rating: I was in love with Athena cage when this cd (cassette) came out. It had some pretty good cuts on it but in 2008, I would not suggest picking it up. You can pick and choose which songs you want to download from like itunes or something. It's a classic but not all that to spend money on in the 08. NEOSOUL06.
Customer Reviews for Surrender Cd A 1990's "Quiet Storm" Classic!! 4.5 out of 5 stars. Rating: I have to disagree with Amazon's reviewer on this one. There is nothing skeevy or remotely vulgar about this album. Simply put, this is sensual, LOVE-making music at its best. What distinguishes "Surrender" from sleazy/cheesy "sex-music" are the fabulous voices of the Kut Klose ladies. This ladies can "SANG"!! The group-members' harmonies blend together so well that, at times, it almost seems like there's one vocalist rather than three. Kut Klose was part of the bygone R&B "slow-jams" phase of the mid-1990's, where all-female groups like En Vogue, SWV, Xscape and Changing Faces dominated the charts with their fabulous vocals and harmonizing. Is their music sexy? Sure. But there's nothing wrong with getting sexy with the one you LOVE. And that's what sets "Surrender" apart from the much of the soul-less, trashy music that passes for R&B nowadays. If you're a fan of sensual, soulful slow-jams, then Kut Klose's "Surrender" is a must-have!
Editorial Reviews for Surrender Audio Cd Amazon.com Kut Klose members LaVonn Battle, Athena Cage, and Tabitha Duncan have attractive voices, but they haven't come up with a distinctive group sound; they simply fill in around the lead vocals in the most predictable ways. It doesn't help matters that the album's 11 songs, largely written by Keith Sweat and his sidekicks, are undernourished melodically, giving the three women little to do but repeat the same sing-song rhythms over and over. If Surrender were simply boring, it could be easily dismissed. It's more insidious than that, however, for Sweat and his male cronies have used the three women of Kut Klose as vehicles for their own sexual fantasies. There's something smarmy about powerful industry figures who sign up young women desperate for stardom and who then direct those women to moan and croon about how they want a "Lovely Thang" who will "Lay My Body Down" and "Do Me" the way "I Like." Kut Klose's new album is nothing more than the Penthouse "Forum" set to formulaic slow jams. --Geoffrey Himes
