is both an elegant and earthy songstress, nicely balancing those seemingly divergent sentiments on her self-titled debut disc. 's husky, enticing voice sounds hypnotic on dismayed on and disillusioned on But she's never out of control, indignant, or so anguished and hurt that she fails to retain her dignity. It's a sign of how great the / production team was that they didn't settle for a defining mood; they presented with enough diverse emotional settings to hold the interest of males and females. ~ Ron Wynn
