Wow. Eyes officially opened here, thanks Databank.

I was enraptured with her, thinking "like a Japanese Patrice Rushen"...until she opened her mouth...lol...then I said "ok, well, maybe not so much" lol

Still though, I'm diggin through her stuff now..she's a cool talent.

I'm with JamFanHot on the vocals. But she's great and her band is tight. Good stuff.
