Nine years after she first broke through with her debut release, Carol Riddick is back with a solid 11 track set of adult soul/r&b tunes. The Philly native has a strong, at times throaty voice with hints of Anita Baker, and the lyrical content of her new compositions match the slick precision of the productions. ‘Stop, Go Back’ takes elements of contemporary R&B but overrides it with a larger soul element that keeps away from sounding like every other R&B tune out there! ‘Jump In’ has a beautiful, warm lush mid tempo feel while the stepper ‘Stay’ is a great slow burner. ‘Once You Let Go’ has an adventurous rhythm with a jazz feel, ‘Pushing Away’ has some 80s touches while the mellow ‘Never Too Late’ is a sultry groover. Good set with lots of highlights.
