Young singer
Grenique layers her debut with vocals that are soulful yet subtle, with a neo-classical soul sound true enough to capture your attention but not overtake you. From the ethereal rhythms of the title track, to the jazz-spiced remake of
Heatwave's "Star of a Story," this album is piled with soothing, earthy music.
Grenique's vocals recall vintage
Chaka Khan, especially the catchy "Let Go," with shades of Dionne Ferris. Although her sound isn't as distinctive as
Erykah Badu's, she'll surely draw comparisons to the trend-setting singer since they share the same producer, (
Kedar Massenburg) and spiritual leanings. ~ Rosalind Cummings-Yeates
