If you are a fan of old-school R&B then the CD "Soundtracks of my Life" is for you. It is a cohesive, soulful, and classic R&B CD with fourteen original compositions. It is a return to the sound of the 60’s and 70’s: Motown, Stax, and The Sounds of Philly. Iman’s sound is extraordinary, different than what is heard on the airwaves today. Her sound encompasses the pianist's multi-genre musical vocabulary: R&B, soul, funk, classical, jazz, gospel, Latin, and African rhythms. "Soundtracks of my Life" is a unique sound of vintage and classic soul, soul music with a “touch of funk", "twist of jazz", characterized by thumping bass lines, sweeping strings, piercing horns, and arrangements that are orchestrated and lush. Lyrically, Iman’s has an authenticity that can appeal to everyday people. Like songs of the past, her songs are written from her soul, filled with passion and emotion. The fourteen songs on "Soundtracks of my Life is her story, her journeys about her personal experiences in life, love, and relationships. Iman is not afraid to open her heart and pour out her soul to her audience. Being one of the few female artists who is an arranger, producer, songwriter, singer, and musician, Iman credits Patrice Rushen for her signature musical style as well as finding herself being compared to Angela Winbush and Roberta Flack. The first single, “I Will Not Cry” is referred to by Iman as “a woman’s anthem, a female empowerment song, written by a woman, from a woman’s point of view, for women however, this single is for anyone who has been hurt, lied to, cheated on, dumped, and heart-broken. The powerful emancipating message is “You done me wrong, but life will go on, I will survive, I will not cry”, a modern day reflection of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive”. This song encourages anyone that has been hurt or disappointed by someone they can rise up and be strong under adverse situations. "A Good Man is Hard to Find", Iman expresses her respect and appreciation for all the men who are out there working hard and doing whatever it takes to provide, support, and take care of their families. While on the other hand, Iman sends a strong message to the females who are not so appreciative of the man in their lives. “Why can’t you see you’re the one that he adores, he treats you like a queen, he gives his all and so much more”. To a riveting hook “A good man is hard to find, stop complaining, stop being ungrateful a good man is hard to find”. If you are looking for a beautiful, sensual ballad that sets the tone for romance, "The Night Will Never Stay", is a timeless masterpiece. This song sends "the right message" to get you and keep you in the right mood.
