Title: ESSENCE - Doesn't do it for me.
Review: I'm sorry - I've listened to this time and time again and I still don't think it's much to write home about.Lucinda fires up here and there but for the most part there is so much resignation in her voice that the whole effort leaves me flat.I get the feeling she's whipped this one out without much time or effort - it's so monotonous! Give me the narrative style of "CAR WHEELS" any day! If it took 5 years to finely craft that album, maybe ESSENCE needed more than it got.
