A real snooze who awakens atavistic impulses in many of her fans. A surprisingly ugly and non- supple voice for a "soul singer", and stiff, repititious phrasing that uses the same slightly- behind- the- beat phrasing ploy bar after bar, to mind- numbing effect. And bad intonation. A grating, new- millenium Janis Joplin to remind us that somethings won't change or go away so easily, after all. Oh, but what a story, what style, what a cool rock n roll chick... Clever and slick retro production, however, that, for many, pushes just the right buttons...
