Jimetta Rose [2022] - The Gift - Around The Way Queen [Street Corner Music]

I think that basically this album by Jimetta Rose "The Gift - Around The Way" consists of vocal tracks overlaid on  beats released between 2013-17 on Street Corner Music's The Gift series of albums Vol. 1 - Vol. 10.

Certainly, one of the better tracks, "Still Here" is based on Denmark Vessey "Pump Yo' Brakes" on "The Gift Vol. 9", which in turn samples Jean Plum's modern soul classic "Here I Go Again" on Hi (1976).  I don't have the time, nor inclination, to detect what's used in all the others!

This won't be to everyone's taste as it's sort of off-center, soul meets jazz meets hip-hop and sounds a bit dissonant, but it's different, edgy and pushes boundaries if that's your thing.

To break you in gently, my two picks are "Still Here" (familiarity?) and "Oohs & Ahhs"

Jimetta Rose  is from L.A. and has released two previous albums "The Barber's Daughter" in 2010 and "The Light Bearer" in 2016.

"Black Light" was released as a single on 14 Feb.
