"It Can Happen To Anyone": Elisabeth Withers
by Craig Chapman
Direct from Broadway cast of “The Color
Purple”…. Ladies & Gentlemen, Ms Elisabeth
Withers. “It Can Happen To Anyone”, is the
title of Elizabeth’s debut CD on the
legendary Blue Note label. Processing a
powerful voice, with tremendous range, this
project is filled with a diverse selection of
songs that clearly demonstrate her lyrical
interpretative ability.

I feel it’s my duty to introduce you to “It Can Happen To Anyone”,
because it’s an outstanding project that you could easily overlook
because Elisabeth Withers name is unfamiliar to the general public.
You might have heard the first single “Be With You”, a nice danceable,
radio friendly track.  The feel good up-tempo sound continues on the
title track “It Can Happen” and message driven “Somebody”.

Actually, one of the refreshing aspects of this CD is the message in
the music. For instance, “Simple Things” leads off the album with Ms
Withers sounding very Aretha-ish, singing about the  joys in life that
turn out to be very basic. On “The World Ain’t Ready”, Elisabeth urges
each of us to fight temptation to conform and be true to our inner
spirit.

The Pop leaning “Listen”, the mid-tempo groove of “Next To You”, and
the future hit “Heartstrings” deliver the urgent messages of love.
Elizabeth neatly wraps up this impressive array of songs with a spine
tingling rendition of the classic “Wind Beneath My Wings”.

“It Can Happen To Anyone”, but after one listen, you’ll be glad it
happened to Elisabeth Withers.
