Kinney exploded on the soul scene quickly, then disappeared just as quickly. Although marketed on a Southern soul label, her sound was much lighter and softer, had little gospel, blues or country inflection and influences, and was more suited for pop or even urban contemporary material.

Millie Jackson or
Denise LaSalle-type material, but that's what many of these songs were. The results were unsatisfying, to say the least.
