that new laurnea record is called "II", but it's not as good as "betta
listen," but that doesn't mean it's bad . . . very soulful, i think that
the production isn't as good as the previous album. probably didn't have
the budget as she had on the first one. and since yinyangmusic cafe
released it on their new label, there was no promotion, no tour, etc.
it's definitely worth peeping, especially if you liked her first record.
