Heard it yesterday (on a friend's computer speakers), and I was impressed.
Not Billy Preston on keys (word is the great maestro was taken ill while touring
with Eric Clapton's band... Godspeed Billy Preston!), but another illustrious
"P"... James Poyser, of Soulquarians fame. Also on board Ahmir ?love Thompson on
drums, Pino P. on bass (that's D'Angelo's rhythm section) and Nikka herself on
keys here and there. She sounds like the real deal...
Check out the gauzy R rated photos of her on the inside! Depressing to see
another talented up and commer headed straight for the sex angle. Anyway, she's
being described in some major media outlets as a "cute Janis Joplin" and,
as she's on Virgin, get ready for a big league promotional push. She's already
on MTV, all over Melrose ave., and.. hey, she's playing right down the street
tonight... guess I'll go check it out!
Gotta love LA!
