Album Notes
Personnel: Amerie (vocals); Carl Thomas (vocals); Eve (rap vocals); Andre Harris, Vidal Davis (various instruments).Since Amerie broke onto the scene with her 2002 debut, ALL I HAVE, she's acted in films and been a BET television host. So for her sophomore effort, TOUCH, the D.C. native drew from these experiences in taking a bolder and more explicit approach towards revealing a more sensual and self-confident side of her persona. The 20-something songbird gets straight to the point on the Lil' Jon-produced title track, where she alternates between coyness and aggression over a squiggly synth line with a faintly Arabic flavor. In working her hip-hop/soul groove, Amerie gets plenty of mileage from vintage samples, from the Roy Ayers saxophone riff that gooses the heavy thump of "Rolling Down My Face" to the Gamble & Huff-penned Ebonys sample at the heart of the bonus "Why Don't We Fall in Love" Richcraft Remix. But nothing hits the mark more than "1 Thing," a go-go flavored slice of funk driven by a sample from the Meters' "Oh Calcutta." Upping the ante even more is a second version featuring plenty of sass from guest rapper Eve.

3 stars out of 5 - Amerie is all grown up on her second effort. And in this case, growth is good.

A Nice Cd

Created: 10/10/05
Touch’s tough beats, mostly by Rich Harrison.Amerie rips through them with emotion. The soul samples, horns, and hard club drums on the lead single, “1 Thing,” are an excellent preview of Touch’s ability, though the crazy Lil Jon crunk-and-B title track is the album’s most stand out song. But nothing here is more on-point than the artistic energy of Harrison and his protégée. Their smooth blend of the delicate and the cool proves that, whether it’s hard or soft, love is love.

Touch - Amerie

Created: 07/12/06
Amerie shows growth both lyrically and vocally. The production is crazy on some songs, #6 in particular. A couple nice love ballads and a few bland songs overall makes this a good cd. If you liked her first cd in some ways you'll like this one just as much if not more!

i've liked amerie since i first heard Why Don't We Fall in Love? a few years ago. she seemed to dissapear, and then re-appear with two great singles from this album.

On the first listen, i thought it was a little average, but having ripped a few songs for my iPod, i got to listen to them a few more times and appreciated the lyrical content a bit more.

I've given the CD a few listens now and it's very well performed.

If you like Mariah Carey, Whitney Hoston and other similar artists, you'll enjoy this album, but maybe not as much as you would the bigger names.

I do recommend this album, but you need to give it chance!

You have to be an Amerie fan to love this CD. I actually forgot about some of the songs on this CD. I love her voice. It's a little raspy... strong, and shoesn't sound forced. It's nice to have another songstress (Mary) that doesn't need the falsetto to have a good song.
