Newcomer Christina Fasano puts so much passion & soul in her latest album, "Spiritually Wet," that it should end once-and-for all the debate that white girls AREN'T funky and DON'T have soul. Well, they haven't heard Ms. Fasano. Her singing is so blistering in parts, she's also convinced me that white boys really CAN dance, too. She's that good. My favorite cuts though, are the ones where I feel she's not trying so hard to prove how bitchin' she is: The SLOW cuts. Christina, you are already bitchin' and mighty fine. Anyone as beautiful and gifted as you are doesn't need to have a whole horn section and half of the drummers of New York City behind you, babe. Just take that dynamite voice and don't forget it's already a miracle just in itself. And you know what, listeners, she does, too, but you almost have to wait for the very last cut, the most vulnerable, most moving, most achingly beautiful, and least funky song on this great album. What A Talent!
