SoulStrutter's Rating: 8.5
From the album Retroflection (Oct 2018), which is essentially an album of 80s cover versions, this is a cover of Alicia Myers' (One Way) I Want To Thank You (a long time fav. of mine) featuring Mica Paris who's always had such a great voice but material has let her down otherwise she'd be a much bigger artist.
She never managed to top her initial 1988 hit My One Temptation which reached #7 UK Pop only having two more UK Top 20 hits: a duet with Will Downing on a cover of Where Is The Love 1989 #19 and I Never Felt Like This Before 1993 #15. A further 6 Top 40 and 6 Top 75. Her last chart appearance being with Black Angel in 1998.
The whole album is recommended and includes updated covers of classics from the likes of Teena Marie, Maze, Evelyn King, Carl Anderson, Skipworth & Turner, Geraldine Hunt.
I'm pretty sure many of these will feature in later postings.
