    I believe she just released a new album that's received some promotion in retail.

    Well, she played two songs - Joy, from her new album and Let Me Down Easy...wow!

    What a powerful singer and what emotion...she has a unique style, but if you attempted to pidgeon hole her then it is a cross betwwen Tina Turner & Aretha Franklin, but more bluesy...I read somewhere she is performing in London somewhere. Time for some investigation me thinks!!
