Why it's taking me forever to finish consuming "Born & Raised" — 2 years ago
Although UK “It Girl” Amy Winehouse is a favorite among music critics worldwide, Sweden songbird Joy Denalane also deserve equal adulations as well. Her latest CD Born & Raised is a beautiful disc of glaring soulful pop. Guests Lupe Fiasco (on the first single “Change”) and Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon (on “Heaven and Hell”) give Joy some street cred, but it’s her powerful voice that will win you over. Joy Denalane’s Born & Raised is a classic pop album. Cop the disc on iTunes, you need to have this in your music library.
