    Music:

    A Must Have!

    By Dave  Aug 3, 2006

    Pros: Vocals, Lyrics and Delivery!

    Cons: There are none! Such tracks as Snoring!

    Ledisi brings Neo Soul and Soul music to a whole nother level! She true brings it hard and strong all the while drawing you into her music with the subtley of a hypnotist! With Sassy SOngs Like Get Outta My Kitchen ( a nice way of sayin MYOB). Also C...atchy songs like You are My Friend,Free Again, Take Your time, make you wonder why you havent heard this girl all over the radio! Ledisi switches her Gosepely soulful delivery with Jazz Scats that would make Ella Fitzgerald Smile down in amazement from up above! Lyrically and Vocally she shows her chops with songs like Hotel ( a call to her lover she wants to be intimate with), Cofee ( a call to woman being physically abused), and Pap Loved to Love me ( A song about a girl who was abused by her father)! This salbum is a must have for those appreciate True Soulful Music! Ledisi is truly up there amongst Aretha Franklin,Minnie Ripperton,Patti Labelle and Anita Baker! Read more Less

  • All Music Guide

    Ledisi exhales on the funky opener "Get Outta My Kitchen," pumping mad adrenaline and setting the bar for the next 16 tracks. She confronts incest and domestic violence matter-of-factly on "Papa Loved to Love Me," a tell-all about a father raping his daughter. Cool jazzy flavors (including the catchy "I Wantcha Babe") and sweet floaters ("Take Time" and "In My Life") balance the more dramatic cuts and provide a comfortable plateau for Ledisi's fluid alto. "Coffee" is reminiscent of the '60s/'70s poet-artists Nikki Giovanni and Gil Scott-Heron. Soulsinger has that freshness that makes first albums special. The multi-talented singer co-wrote most of the songs with keyboardist Saundra Manning.
