Michigan soulstress Michon Young follows up 2016’s much acclaimed debut ‘Love, Life, Experiences’ with this second volume that continues in that old-school meets contemporary soul vein on a 14 track set that will please her fans. Vocally compared to Anita Baker and Phyllis Hyman, Michon delivers the narratives with a sultry swagger. The funky ‘Go Get It’, the jazzy inflected smooth grooves of ‘It’s All About Me’ and the summery vibe of ‘Good Feeling’ are standouts. The Baker influences are strongest on the quiet storm, early 80s feel of ‘Under The Moonlight’, ‘Let’s Go To Work’ has a powerful, driving beat matching the empowerment lyrics, ‘Simply Easy Love’ is a understated but infectious free-soul gem with a breezy vibe while ‘Stay Like This Forever’ brings to mind hints of ‘Be Thankful For What You Got’. The off beat tempo of the jazz ballad ‘Driving To Purpose’ provides a showcase for her vocal talents while the ‘bonus’ track ‘Waiting On You’ I another strong highlight – an uplifiting soulful gospel number.
