    Her latest album solidifies her status as an artist to watch closely for decades to come.

    The highlights are many, making the hour of its running time pass effortlessly. [Jul 2021, p.70]

    Minus the two guest appearances, this is a one-woman show, from composition and instrumentation to mixing and mastering. The low end on this sucker is immense.

    Even with so few words uttered, it's a vital entry in a vast discography that constantly seeks answers, building spiritual strength along the way.
