DESCRIPTION:
Soul Funk With Reggae Overtones- Full Debut LP From Soul Vocalist at The Beginning of her Musical Career
The daughter of blues legend Taj Mahal has forged her own path towards this debut album – gently rocking soul and R&B that nonetheless feels just apposite enough for 2018. The title track, released last November as part of a three-song EP, garnered some love for the way it filtered vintage Lauryn Hill vibes into an Amy Winehouse earworm. Elton John played Run Deep on his Beats 1 show. Even better was Snakes, a tremendous call-and-response blues stomper whose visually striking animated shadow-play video illustrated the song’s timely message: watch out for snakes, and own your own power.
The album’s arc actually finds Mahal wrestling with attraction, love and heartbreak, moving smoothly through various classic tropes – piano balladry, 70s soul – before ending up on the synthetic, 80s-indebted anthem-pop of Wicked. Your ears prick up, too, around the Optimist mark, where a gnarly guitar riff recalls Jim
