Summary: From A Sea of Pop Music Nonsense & Rap Music Garbage... 2008-09-21
Comment: This is REAL music from a phenomenal source of TRUE talent. I have this CD in my car and CANNOT stop playing it. The production is lush, amazing, something you can ride up the coast to. And Lalah's voice, as always, is like BUTTER. I recommend this CD to all who possess eclectic yet refined and adult tastes and who like to surround themselves in the finer accountrements in music. I can't wait for her next album.

Summary: Flawless 2008-09-02
Comment: This is quite possibly the best album from Hathaway (counting even her collaboration with Sample). If you're in the mood for a Sade-type CD - consistent, smooth, nuanced and worthy of repeated listening, it doesn't get much better than this. My only reservation would be the CD artwork - it's as unexceptional as the album is sophisticated. This impeccable CD deserves a classier look.
