REVIEW:
Parris Mitchell, media proclaimed R&B Diva is 32
years old and dealing with a great deal of loss. The man she loved and
trusted, took her for not only her love but most of her money and her
self-esteem. Only her diehard fans and her agent have hung in there with
her. Casper Johnson, is one of the hottest record producers in the
industry and he is going to produce Parris' next CD. Even though Parris
said no in the beginning, she decides to go ahead and work with
Casper. Parris tries to deny the attraction she feels towards Casper;
one because she feels men cannot be trusted and two; she's just a little
older than Mr. Johnson. Casper has to work overtime not only producing
her CD but gaining her trust and winning her heart.
Set in the
R&B music industry, DOUBLE PLATINUM flows like the music it describes.
The story covers all aspects and all occupations relating to music
production. From the artist to the producer, the agent, singing rivals
and even the tabloid reporter. You are introduced to the designer
clothes and all of the places where the privileged go to play. You are
also taken to the darker side where greed and desire for fame can
destroy.
DOUBLE PLATINUM, is excellent
reading for the up and coming artist. The story lets you see what can
happen if you put your trust in someone who will tell you what you want
to hear and when you want to hear it to gain your trust. They turn you
against the people who worked hard to get you where you are and then
they commit the ultimate act of betrayal and take all of you money and
your self-esteem. It makes the job of people who you can trust difficult
because you feel that everyone is out to use you for your fame and your
fortune. Sheila Goss does a great job and DOUBLE PLATINUM should be on
the required reading list for new music artists.
