"Sorry folks, and I see I am the only one on here so far who doesn't like this release. Believe me, I wanted to, being the fan of soul that I am, but if this is soul, this isn't my kind of soul. Duffy and Adele take you back viscerally to the Motown-era. This release is pure formulaic. The backing band doesn't distinguish itself at all, it almost sounds like karaoke backing tracks. The song "Cold In LA" is quite possibly the worst song lyrically that I have heard this year. Ms. Jones does possess a nice voice and I think she could do better with better material and a better backing band. I know I am inviting a "0 out of 13 people found this review to be helpful" here, but I invite you to listen to any of these tracks and decide for yourself. I have--I'm reselling this on amazon."
Love the CD and Love Her!

Blue Eyed Soul At It's Finest

"The blue eyed soul of the UK (Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone, etc) has always intrigued me but to find it on American soil was quite a stretch until now. I have always loved Teena Marie and what she brought to soul music but now we have LEIGH JONES. This "vanilla child" has soul dripping from her like an ice cream cone on a hot summer day. Her voice is amazing and the production is superb. The title of her album could have easily been "SOUL IN MY MUSIC". If you're unaware of what soul music is, you'll find out as soon as you pop this one in. You know you have what it takes when you can get the great Berry Gordy to come out of retirement to produce a track for you (check out Cold In L.A.). Like the rest of the reviewers, if true soul music is what you've been missing, pick this one up. You will not be disapointed."
HOT TRACKS!!!
