You may not know Dionne Farris' name, but you've heard her voice. Hers were the soaring vocals that powered "Tennessee," the breakthrough hit by alternative rappers Arrested Development. Here Farris steps out on her own with a strong debut called Wild Seed-Wild Flower. She smoothly blends elements of hip-hop and alternative rock while positioning herself as a new kind of R&B divathe anti-Whitney. Farris has a lot more on her mind than "I Will Always Love You." On "Don't Ever Touch Me Again," she tackles child abuse, while on "Stop to Think," she rails against drug addiction. But Farris never sounds preachy, and she even manages to take a Beatles song and make it her own with a slow, funky version of "Blackbird." .--Jim DeRogatis

"Time slips ever fast instantly becoming the past".......2007-06-24
Whatever happened to Dionne Farris? The question poses some merit given that the former singer of Arrested Development made such a great solo debut. She had a very hip and relaxed nature about her with one of the best songs to hit radio during the mid 90's in "I Know." She even served as opening act for the Dave Matthews Band when they were first becoming popular. As for Wild Seed-Wild Flower, I haven't listened to this album(or CD)in quite some time until recently, and it still holds up as a terrific offering of rock, pop, and soul. Plus the gospel tinge in her voice still has that perfect passion that made her songs feel so sobering and uplifting when they played the first time around. I'm sure that "I Know" will one day find a second life when it gets played on future classic pop stations once the music of the 90's becomes retro.
no.......2007-03-13
please do not buy this. she has a great voice, but the only song worth anything on here is the 'i know what you're doing' single....
Wild Seed ~Wild Flower - - actually 3.5 stars.......2006-12-06
This is a good debut from an artist who burst on the scene with a phenomenal single, I KNOW. This song featured a mash of rock, pop & soul that touched a lot of fans across music genres. The only other song on the disc that moved me in the same way is, PASSION - that features a stunning baseline, unstructured melody & terric guitar-heavy chorus.
Other tracks that I still enjoy to this day are:
NOW OR LATER - she really toned it down on this one, her vocals are so sweet & light
11TH HOUR - features spoken word & a pretty melodic beat
WATER - her soulful wails & the construction of the song kind of reminds me of an old Rufus & Chaka Khan song
BLACKBIRD - again features really pretty vocals
Although it's unfortunate that Dionne didn't get to release a sophomore set, this is still a fun album that I continue to enjoy listening to as time goes by.
Great Single - OK Album.......2006-06-01
Great single, ordinary album. Going solo after her stint with Arrested Development, Dionne Farris seemed intent on making a statement of her own. The single, "I Know," promised a lot. Based on a snaking slide groove and a neat vocal hook, it gave the impression that Farris just might be able to break out. Unfortunately, the first solo album suggests Arrested Development without the diversity. Like that band, the musical topics are based on inner thoughts; sort of like cranial soul music. The titles alone give away - "Stop to Think"; "Food for Thought"; "Find Your Way"; Even the song "Passion" approaches the subject of the title as if it were a mental exercise. Naturally, the arrangements are intelligently constructed, perhaps even a bit fussy. If only she could have tapped into the passion that she found on her hit single, this would have been one heck of an album. All in all, there's just too much thinking going on here for the record to be much fun.
awesome album.......2005-11-24
the year was 1995 and I was addicted to the radio. This song was on heavy rotation in spring of 1995, it was the catchy melody of the chorus and funky guitar grooves that caught me. I guess she became a one hit wonder which is sad because she has talent for singing and songwriting and I hope she comes back someday.

Beg, steal, borrow - just get it.......2007-06-20
Twelve years after the initial release of Wild Seed, through serendipity I stumbled upon a fanspace for Morten Harket on myspacedotcom. I got to listen to the complete versions of four or five of the songs included on the CD. Through searches on another BroadcastYourself site, I found several other of the titles.
I realized that I had to have this music and ordered the CD. I have had it for a couple of months now, and go back to listen to it constantly. It's like ear-candy, it's pure pleasure and addictive.
This is an amazing body of work. I've revisited a-ha's music since buying this and am happy to see that Morten is writing more songs. This can only add to his already great impact on the group. With Morten's voice, and now wonderful music writing skills, a-ha has an incredible edge in the industry. Why, oh, why are they not recognized more on this "desert island" named the U S of A?
The import duty on this is, IMO, ridiculous! If you want the CD; get it used, get it like new, just get it. You will never look back, and you will never regret your purchase. If you come to love it like I do: Spread the word!
Worth every penny for this import..........2007-04-06
I have remained a fan of A-ha's for many years, but only recently learned of Morten's solo albums. This is the first one I was able to get my hands on, and wow! There is a depth both to his vocalizations and the music itself, and a wonderful variety of sound. This is not a cookie cutter album, and Morten makes excellent use of the flexibility that comes with recording solo. Terrific and insightful lyrics as well. These songs grab you and won't let go. My next acquisition will be his Norwegian recording. I can't wait. :-)
Something different! .......2007-03-30
To be perfectly honest, I was TERRIFIED when I listened to the first track on Wild Seed - 'A Kind of Christmas Card'. I wasn't sure what to expect from Morten. Although 'A Kind of Christmas Card' is a very enjoyable song, the vocals are something I didn't expect... there is something charmingly imperfect about them, and I really like that. I really do. I almost didn't recognize his voice.
The rest of the songs are even better, ranging from little ballads to soft rock beats, and although I haven't had time to get through all of them, they are more into the soul and life of the music and the meaning of the lyrics behind the song, than the perfection of the vocals of the song itself, because he wrote them... if that makes sense?
I guess what I'm trying to say is, this has 50 high-star ratings and reviews for a reason: it is different, and a fantastic solo album. Morten is a singer and an artist is free to do whatever he wants and it shows. I guess my favorite as of right now would have to be 'Brodsky Tune' which has a really fun, almost Spanish-sounding beat!
You will not be wasting your money buying this, it is something everyone needs to own!
Wonderful.......2006-05-25
An interesting thing about when a band takes time off to purse solo project, is that you get to see what each member brings into the mix, and how good a synergy they produce. A-ha is my favorite band, so I bough "Wild Seed" just for that fact not knowing what to expect...I was blown away. Not putting down in any way Morten's work as A-ha's vocalist, in this solo effort you feel the emotional color of every song coming thru with the intention of conveying the message as never before. This is particularly evident in it's spiritual songs: Lord, Lay Me Down Tonight and Ready To Go Home. Brodsky Tune and East-Timor contrast as political themes, one sung in anger, and East-Timor as a beautiful plea of liberation. This album almost made me wish a-ha didn't get back together (kidding)...just makes me wish Morten would make more albums in English.
Morten in top form.......2006-05-15
A lot of people at the time of the release of this album, did'nt think that Morten could write or produce propper compositions like his collegues in a-ha. However he proved the critics wrong.
The album is a fantastic piece of art and very much typical of Morten. Very mature, very thoughtful and very melancholic.
Of all the soloprojects from the members of a-ha, Morten's Wild Seed album has been the biggest sucess.
AND in response to Mr. Brian E. Erland "Rainbow Sphinx"
Morten Harket can still hit the high notes as he did during the 80's with a-ha. He still does it when he tours with his collegues in a-ha. Both in old and new songs.
The song " Summmer Moved On " from the a-ha album " Minor Earth Major Sky " ( 2001 ), includes a note that Morten holds for 20, 2 seconds ( without any studio enhansments ). This is a world record.

Customer Reviews:
Mollo/Hughes Getting it Right.......2004-08-30
I just recieved this disc, and have spent some time listening to it, so I thought I would submit a review. It is of course obvious to make comparisons to the first Voodoo Hill album, so let's start with that. The first S/T cd left me more than a little bored. The musicianship is first class, however the songs were pretty generic rock. Glenn's voice is always amazing, however he seemed to be merely singing over some standard rehashed rock riffs. On the new album, that is not the case. It appears that Hughes has contributed much more to the songwriting. The playing is as heavy and precise as the S/T release, however they have really come up with excellent melodic rock songs for this disc. The opening track being the finest example. Glenn overdubs some excellent harmonies on the refrains that really bring the song to life. Several tracks have a very Zeppelin influence going on, but what better influence can there be to let show. Overall I would recommend this disc, much moreso that the first release. It appears that Dario Mollo and Glenn Hughes are really starting to gell together. If they choose to collaborate on future releases we can all hope that they get better each time. All GH fans should pick up the disc and enjoy !!

Closer to two and a half stars really........2004-08-29
I've got to say I found this a little disappointing. I am Glenn Hughes fan, but after quite a few listens I still find this a bit ho hum. I liked the first VH album, and I am a major fan of Mollo's first Cage album, but I just don't see this album as being in that league. The vocals are not the problem, I just don't see the songs being that strong. It is certainly not a bad album, but it just does not grab me. I would advise listening to the album before you part with the hard earned, particularly if is a question of this or something else you have been hanging out for.
GREAT!!! FANTASTIC!!!.......2004-07-12
Glenn Hughes is the best vcalist there ever was and this is GREAT!!!He is as always at his best here on this album.Like the last VooDoo Hill CD the guitars are awesome and the band is tight.Glenn Hughes is the force of the group and the music is awesome and sounds like it came straight from 1977.Ive been waiting on this cd forever and it was 100% worth the wait for all Glenns fans
