    i finally picked this up this weekend and am really
    feeling most of it. the first 4 songs are very
    strong--sensual, groovy, soul-filled, good time summer
    tunes. some of the later tracks get a little too r 'n
    b/slow jammy for me, but perhaps it's because i
    haven't given them enough time. the final track is a
    tribute to stevie wonder that i think is a very clever
    use of his lyrics incorporated into her own (now, how
    can you go wrong with a tribute to stevie?). in my
    opinion, i think the album is definitely worth picking
    up.
