Her voice is full of soul, and she can deliver a chorus with gusto, but like most vocalists who are at the mercy of their arrangers and songwriters, she's only as good as what's given to her.

If you need a new soul singer in your life, then Randy might be the thing for you, there was enough immediacy here to believe the ballads will grow on you.
