A tight professional package of seductive danceable pop/funk music that is embracing the year 2000 and beyond with its musical undertones reminiscent of 1970's funk and enticing lyrics on life, love, non-judgment, desire and freedom.
"The album touched my soul in ways I can't imagine. Revealing lyrics, great grooves. Sweet sexy voice to sooth anyone into pure realization of their own personal power. Loved ALL the tracks. WHY isn't she a famous artist. My pick of the most underated artist of all time. Seriously, listen to this album and you will find something special."

Long Lost Melodic Funk and Spiritual Longing

"I first heard this CD when a friend loaned it to me at work. We struck up a conversation of reminicing the "Old School days" of melodic funk: Cameo, Rose Royce, New Birth, Rufus, Slave, Atlantic Starr and Shalamar, before the angry rapping of gunfire and misogyny became the current norm. On cueing song 1, I pictured a long lost genre coming to life again in the stageshow sound of sorely missed James Brown style horns and early 80's style swirling synths. This is a big funk statement being made! Then SHE stepped in! A woman with the sonic nuances of a true soul bandleader and balladeer. Scanning the lyrics, I was intrigued by ones like: "Freedom calls my soul, out of this routine world that we know..." and "Intuition calls and says 'release me', I'm the one you need..." Here is a woman who has the courage to mix spiritual longing with sexual undertones. Nice thing about it - this mix of earthiness and heaven is not thrown in your face! Here's a record you could play for your mom during a holiday break or jam on loudly at any dance party anywhere. A main highlight of this CD is Christina's voice. It rings of Lisa Stansfield, Toni Braxton, Prince and the Revolution, and Janis Joplin! In today's world, ethnicity is a non-issue. I have to mention though that Christina is a white American woman. She shows so efficiently the promise and soul/funk sensibilities of the traditions of black American music. With this kind of finesse and courageous beauty on her debut album, I'm an instant fan!"
Very tasty
