What’s in the neo-soul section of my iPOD

CHOKLATE
CHOKLATE 2006: 4.5 Stars

I have had this CD for about two years and it is still one of my favorites. It is a true upbeat groove, a combination of soul, R&B, and hip hop. You can listen or tap your feet if you want but by the time you get to “Waitin” you will be up on your feet (if you like to dance). The music kicks and her voice melds perfectly. This is true "ear candy!" It is such a shame she does not get airplay on the radio. But at least you can go out and purchase her and hear for yourselves just how much fun this CD can be.

Although I like every song on this CD, the stand-outs are the upbeat “Waitin”, which features Chali 2na of Jurassic5, “Bigger Than You” a true slow groove, "Getting Is Good" a quiet ballad of life, “Heavy” a lazy, easy song of belief and risk, "What‘s About To Go Down" a bluesy, gospel rendition with a beautiful sax solo, and a very pretty secret cut that I’ll call "Fire Water." Her words are real and touch a chord within you, as she sings about things that are relevant to all of us - love, change and poverty.

She is on the label The Kajmere Sound. I have also purchased and enjoyed their compilation; I am sure they are up and coming. As she says, “I’ve been “waitin” a long time for this.”
