I heard this Cd again while surfing the net looking for new artists. Instantly I was pleased with what I heard. Everything is so well put together (the arrangements, lyrics, and then her voice tops it off by soothing the soul). She is in the elite class. I hope this Systa' goes places, and gets the recognition that she is due!

I really like Angela Johnson's voice and her songs are great. I think I would have rated this cd between 4 and 5 stars (5 for her voice and 4 for the songs), but I only rated it 3 stars because of the annoying interludes that she places at the end of many of her songs. If these were done on separate tracks so you program them out, this would be fine - but it doesn't make me want to hear the cd over and over again.

If you're reading this review, you must be a real soul music connoisseur. Angela Johnson is virtually unknown here in the US. She is the singer of the band Cooly's Hotbox (also unknown in the US unless you're into very underground urban music). Their song "Make Me Happy" is one of my all time favorites.
Angela is a very talented singer with a nice voice, and objectively speaking this is a good album. However, the songs were a little too earthy/organic/bluesy for my taste, with that whole neo-classic soul vibe going on (which I hate!). There are no songs that can match "Make Me Happy" here. Anyway, you will probably love this album if you enjoy listening to artists like Jill Scott, Angie Stone, Lauryn Hill, India Arie, Maxwell and all the other neo-classic soul stuff (personally I really do not like that style!). On the other hand, you will probably be very disappointed if you're like me and expect something more along the lines of Mary J., Faith Evans, SWV, Aaliyah, etc.
