Here's one that came out of nowhere – just arrived in my mailbox sans any paperwork. The singer/songwriter/guitarist has a clean, clutter-free approach to her writing and the overall engineering mix of her disc, making it truly easy and endearing on the ears. Her sound reminds me of the stripped, no frills yet elegant work of Cecil & Linda Womack and kindred spirits like Louise Goffin and Alana Davis. Captivating me most are "Exodus," "Girl of Your Dreams", "Paper Doll" and "Grateful." Urban radio should especially check out the sophisti-funk of "Keep On" (featuring Brian Culbertson on piano). And the let-him-down-easy heartbreaker "Something" will connect with those looking for a kinder way to say goodbye. (www.victoriawhiteonline.com) |
