Independent Soul Divas 2 is slicker, smoother, jazzier and a lot more soulful than the previous one. There's the welcome return for Adina Howard. Adina debuts for Lola Waxx with ‘What Do I Do', showing us a more versatile, serious and soulful dimension to her. The groove is a 21st Century Brand New Heavies influenced concoction but the vocals are Adina Howard all over. Exclusive only to this album, ‘What Do I Do' will gain new territory for the lady whilst is sure to surprise and please her existing fans. LeNora Jaye chips in with her timely ‘Times Are hard’, which tackles the current global recession and the financial uncertainty facing many people at this time. Who could have thought that the economic meltdown could be made to sound so soulful? |
| ndependent Soul Divas 2 also features brand new singles by Lea Lorien, Rena Scott, Maya Neiada, Kelli Sae, Razzberry, D'Cheri and Lori Jenaire. Then there's Sy Smith, Rachel Brown, Melissa Young, Lina, Tracy Cruz and Kendra Ross. And if that isn't enough, Aura Jackson's anthemic ‘Walk After U' (also known as ‘Tingle in My Toes'), gets a well-deserved UK outing at last. You'll find 16 killer cuts (with 10 new songs!) and no fillers. No need to press the skip button on this one. This is undoubtedly the compilation set of 2009. |
