It's a shame that more people out there cannot be graced by the musical presence of Amel Larrieux just because she is not on the top ten lists nor make appearances on MTV. Nevertheless, she is a gem, soulfully bombarding her listener with a concordance of musical honesty. Her voice is airy in its delivery, she literally breathes into every song. Talent such as hers makes me upset that artists such as Britney Spears can be idolized, yet REAL voice talent such as Ms. Larrieux's can be ignored. This is one of the best albums of 2004. Highly recommended if you are a fan of the likes of India Arie., Jill Scott or Sade.
