I love this CD, and hope that she releases another with the same level of intensity. Her voice is amazing and totally not what I expected looking at her picture.

Leela has a very strong, resonant voice that calls to mind the blues and early r & b singers of the 1960s and 70s. This cd is thoroughly enjoyable and will move you. The critics agree.

Great Soul

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I caught the appearance of Leela James on Soul Train a few weeks ago and had to have this disc. A nice varied album with rich, soulful vocals on most tracks. Songs range from mostly original traditional and modern soul to bluesy track or two, only a couple of clunkers --"Music" is rather petulant. The cover of the No Doubt pop tune is ok, but nothing special. A one star hit for the phony record noise on some tracks, Ms. James' voice is too good for silly gimmicks. Leela James is a super talent and I look forward to future releases."

"I was walking pass by my TV when Soul Train was on and I heard her voice. It made me stop dead in my tracks and listen. I wasn't able to catch her name so I went online trying to find the line up for that weeks episode and due to me be lazy that means I must have really heard something magical in her voice. It is swamped in soul. The kind of voice that Aretha and Gladys have and it comes out of such a compact package! Her cover of "A Change is Gonna Come" almost runs close to Cooke's and in just that kind of comparison is something that many "artists" these days lack."
