Some "Black Butta" quotes from the press:

 

Music Boutique:

 

"Black Butta" is a grooving romp and recalls Tina Turner a la "Nutbush City Limits", a true gut bucket rock-n-soul track.

DigitalSpy:

 

the funked up gospel stylings of 'Black Butta', Knight's almost stripped down, somewhat basic yet hugely effective style really works on this album.

 

The Guardian:

 

Black Butta and Saviour are two of the best songs of Knight's career, full-throated funk with thunderous rhythm sections that find her in lascivious mood,

The Independent:

 

But there's compensation aplenty elsewhere, in tracks such as the impassioned funk strutter "Black Butta"

 

Real Buzz:

 

A personal favourite of mine is the stomping ‘Black Butta’, a track on which Beverley shows she can still keep her amazing tone, even though a faster-paced track.

The Times:

 

Ronnie Wood’s guitar appears occasionally, notably on the stomping Black Butta, but this is Knight’s show.

 

The Sun:

 

The great joy of Music City Soul is the way Beverley lets rip with songs like the belting Black Butta.

 

She says: “That’s a real foot-stomping number I co-wrote with Guy Chambers (Robbie Williams etc). Black Butta is basically saying I’m fabulous, fierce and sexiverous.”

 

It's not just me! ;)

I'm suprised they commented on Saviour but i agree its amazing :wub:

Forgot one:

 

Manchester Evening News:

 

She does indeed sound ever more impressive with every outing. When the energetic Black Butta winds into frenetic action, it's difficult not to think of her as a Tina Turner for the new millennium.

 

One things for sure, when it comes to UK soul divas, Beverley is certainly showing Joss Stone how it should be done.

I wish she was as big as Tina :(

I think Saviour is poo -_- The album is one of two halves. An amazing first half and a disappointing second.

its quickly becoming my fave song on the album so i signed the petition

I think theres only 1 poo song on the album and 1 pooish :lol:
