Although released 29 Dec 2020, this is the best full album I've heard so far this year so will already be added to my shortlist for albums of 2021. I'll just post the lead track which is 'probably' the best on the album but recommend that you listen to the album as there's not a bad track on it.
Recommended tracks include:

NOTE Here's the title track 'Mixed Emotions' as it appears to be blocked as private in playlist
She was born Aja Vallet Norris in 1987, the daughter of James Norris, who she says was a former member of The Drifters who changed his name to J.J. Jackson for a solo career (but it's not the J.J. Jackson we all probably think of who recorded on Calla & Loma in the 60s). The only James Norris that I can find who may be the same person was in Gregory James Edition in the 70s. I can find no trace of a James Norris being in The Drifters but then there were many groups claiming to be The Drifters over the years.
Aja joined the military at 18, she was married at 20, had a child, and was divorced at 22 which inspired her to begin writing songs. She currently lives in Jacksonville, FL where she performs in local clubs.
Gotta Have Some, featured on the album, was released as a single in Feb 2020. I am guessing that this is her debut album as i can find no other releases from her.
