    A handful of tunes on this one-named wonder's debut are as cool as anything you'll hear this summer.

    It's an impressive debut, and one that justifies the hype she's gotten.
  3. Blender

    Sure, it's commercial, but Rosey's expert melding of dance beats and hippie dippiness adds up to a debut slick with beatnik cool. [#8, p.122]

    When the album fails, it usually does so by not capitalizing on her honey-burnt pipes or by creating musical backdrops that are muddled, meandering dumps of dull.

    Unique performing style, great tunes, fascinating lyrics. Sticks in your head (in a good way) stuff.

    This CD is a must. One of the very few in my collection that I can enjoy from the first song to the last. Almost all the songs have a mellow yet funky flavor and the lyrics carry a constant positive vibe. Worth the $$ you will not be dissapointed.… Expand
