This review is from: Music World’s Essence Collection (Amazon Free Sampler) (MP3 Download)
Surprise compilation. I don’t know what the Essence Music Festival is but it appears to have a gospel leaning. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s not my thing. I didn’t download the overtly religious tunes. The Beyoncé song is okay, a cover of “Wishing on a Star.” Solange’s two tunes are retro-cool in the way of Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings or Duffy, so good there. But how about Chaka Khan? She sounds fantastic! Those two tunes alone are the standouts here for me. “Diamonds are Forever”? Genius choice! “I’m in the Mood for Love”? Proves her voice is still in top form, and it sounds like she’s having a good time. Thanks Chaka!

Amazon “recommended” this collection to me and it’s enjoyable. It’s a diverse collection ranging from R&B to Gospel. It’s for a mature audience; easy listening; no Hip-Hop.
