Sybilization
''Sybilization'' is the third album by American singer Sybil, released in 1990. Background Sybil worked with a myriad of producers for this album, including James Bratton, Eddie O'Loughlin, Stacey Harcum, Stock Aitken Waterman and others. It was released in quick succession to her previous album, which had been released a year before and Sybil had had her biggest hit up to that point in the UK with a cover of "Walk On By" in early 1990. The album and its singles, however, were ignored by both radio and record buyers and did not chart. Cassandra Lucas and Charisse Rose, who went on to form the successful R&B group Changing Faces in the mid-1990s, sang backing vocals on three tracks on the album, including the single "Let It Rain". They also appear on the videoclip to that song. The album includes a cover of Bill Withers' hit " Lovely Day", and also features a song from Sybil's first album, "Falling In Love", which was given a new remix. The last three songs on the album are rel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Make It Easy On Me
"Make It Easy on Me" is a song by American R&B singer Sybil, written and produced by the British team Stock Aitken & Waterman. It was released as the lead single from her third album, ''Sybilization'', in 1990. While Sybil had landed a deal in the UK with Pete Waterman's PWL Records for her previous album, ''Sybil'', the song was her first direct involvement with the producers Stock Aitken & Waterman, although some of her previous singles had been remixed by the production team and their associates on PWL Records. Sybil later worked with Mike Stock and Pete Waterman on her 1993 album '' Good 'N' Ready'', on which a remixed version of the song is included. "Make It Easy on Me", a mid-tempo R&B jam, received good reviews (especially for signalling a different, more soulful and mature sound atypical of the producers' Europop fare), but failed to make an impact on the charts, barely making the UK top 100 peaking at #99, and peaking at #52 on the ''Billboard'' R&B charts.

Medley (music)
In music, a medley is a piece composed from parts of existing pieces played one after another, sometimes overlapping. They are common in popular music, and most medleys are songs rather than instrumentals. A medley which is a remixed series is called a megamix, often done with tracks for a single artist, or for popular songs from a given year or genre. A cover version combining elements of multiple pre-existing songs is a ''cover medley''. A medley is the most common form of overture for musical theatre productions. In Latin music, medleys are known as '' potpourrís'' or ''mosaicos''; the latter were popularized by artists such as Roberto Faz and Billo Frómeta, and most commonly consist of boleros, guarachas, merengues or congas.
