I remember seeing her album all the time when I went to Target and have been curious for a while to know what it sounds like. It’s not life changing but she has a very beautiful voice! “Simply Beautiful”, “Hard Times”, and “Lush Life” were my favorites.
wooow and she sounds good
LOVED THIS ALBUM!! Moodys Mood for love and Simply beautiful were my jams.
