Dressed in a white jumpsuit, legs crossed, sandy blond hair perfectly coiffed, and sitting in a comfy tan chair with her trusty alto sax, Candy Dulfer looks perfectly angelic on the cover of her third album, For the Love of You. Some of the goofy shots on the inside sleeve cast her in the more mischievous light of her almost lookalike Jenny McCarthy, but the overall packaging - and that dazzling smile - caresses our eyes with femininity. But her deeper musical dimensions are decidedly masculine. Once she starts to blow, Dulfer is as aggressive, gritty and boisterous as her primary alto inspirations, David Sanborn and Maceo Parker. She also invokes the groove intensive rock-soul flavors of Prince, who enlisted Dulfer to play on numerous projects in the early 90's (when he was still Prince) after she played on the road with Pink Floyd - hardly a pastel and angora kind of pedigree. Anyone who dug Saxuality and its buoyant 1993 follow up Sax-A-Go-Go, knows Dulfer enters the party ready to cut loose, and won't be disappointed by the buoyant goings on here. From the frisky jam "Saxy Mood" (on which Dulfer treats her horn as a percussive instrument) to the hypnotic, heavily looped invitation to "Gititon, " "For the Love Of You" is a bighearted, festive affair, complete with vocal effects which simulate background conversations. "Sunday Cool" is especially rambunctious, forsaking its title notion for a 100 mph drive through a maze of Booker T-like Hammond B-3 effects and tape loops.

Jonathan Widran, All-Music Guide



Some people may think that the rareness of a female sax player is somewhat of a gimmick. Let me set the record straight, the answer is "No, Candy Dulfer is no joke!" Candy is a truly brilliant alto saxophone player that I would put up against any of today's male performers. With a Grammy nomination, one platinum album and five gold records to her name she has proven her well deserved praise in the jazz music community. Candy has also performed on more than 30 albums and toured the world with musicians such as Prince, Aretha Franklin, Living Colour, Van Morrison and Pink Floyd. Candy's latest release featured on the N2K Encoded Music record label comes blaring through with a mix of R&B and contemporary jazz that combines to create a funky, sexy mood that is sure to impress the most critical listener. Candy is a natural when it comes to music and performing. When asked about her musical background she responds by saying, "As an only child of a musician, I quickly became used to the life-style. The instrument was easy to learn because I had watched for so many years that I knew how to hold it and how to breathe... I was hooked on the stage, so there was never any question about what I would do when I grew up." Her years of practice and performing are evident through her music. Candy's style brings out the emotion and passion of the alto sax, causing the listener to wholeheartedly embrace the vibes of her music. Enjoy the vibes!

Wer Candy Dulfer schon einmal live erlebt hat, wird von diesem Album enttäuscht sein. Im Vergleich zu dem Power-Funk, den die 27jährige Saxophonistin auf die Bühnenbretter bringt, ist ihr viertes Album einfach zu glatt. Trozdem: Der Silberling hat seine Qualitäten. Immer noch stark von David Sanborns Phrasierung beeinflußt, liefert die Niederländerin zwölf sauber produzierte Nummern, die garantiert jede Cocktailparty aufwerten. Gastmusiker wie die Total-Touch-Sängerin Trintje Oosterhuis runden das relaxt klingende Programm ab.

If Candy Dulfer has one thing going for her, it's looks. And leave it to the marketing department to cash in on it. Yes, I see it all too clearly--pedestrian saxophone noodling against cheap funk rhythm machine beats, puncutated with wailing female vocals. Formulaic as hell, and the public buys it, especially the red-blooded males who equate good looks with talent. In my case, I couldn't listen to this without getting restless. Think of a low-budget female David Sanborn wannabe, and you've got this act figured out. But can Ms. Dulfer really play the sax? Within this kind of setting, I'll never know. She does have technique, and a bright tone that at times does bring to mind Sanborn's style, especially during his pre-Another Hand era. I do hear the promise of a hidden talent wanting to come out in the title track, a remake of the classic Isley Brothers song. I just wish there was more like it. The idea of Candy Dulfer as a musician and saxophonist is appealing, regardless of looks. But Candy Dulfer, the sex-object-and-marketing-package, is sickening. Unless you're a fan, don't bother...and wait until she can find some vehicle worthy of what I feel is her supressed talent. No Rating (Reviewer chooses not to rate this recording.)
