Album Notes & Community Reviews

Delayed nearly a year due to the dynamic frontwoman's battle with pancreatic cancer, the triumphant release showcases the Brooklyn revivalists at their absolute creative peak. The incredibly tight, horn-driven funk and Motown-style ballads are executed with flawless vintage precision, acting as a stunning testament to Jones' unparalleled resilience and powerhouse vocal ability.
