WOW!!! What a real treat it is to review a real QUALITY SOUL CD!!! This CD is one that will definitely be in the running for my favorite of the year. The production, considering it is an independent release, is very good indeed, and the vocals, backing vocals and instrumental touches just show that yes, if they want to, real good soul music can be made in these awful times of endless cloned monotone groups. Every track on this CD from "It Seems Like" through to the "Use Me (reprise)" is worthy of your attention, and makes a mockery of many new female "soul" singers around today. The tempo is nicely varied, and there are even a few Latin tinges on here, too, however subtle, in the shape of"Ooh Babe" and "Use Me". Her cover version of Carole King's 'Its Too Late' is surely the best one since David Lasley's back in 1990. "It Seems Like" on reflection seems as if it could have been written for an artist such as Stephanie Mills back in the late'80s, and is a cut that sparkles. Indeed, I could easily go on and on praising this remarkable set, but the space allowed here will not allow it. I understand that sales of this CD are very healthy, but one should be very wary, as these independent albums tend not to last too long. DO NOT DELAY!!!
