UK Soul legend Jaki Graham returns with a strong album that shows how well her vocals have held up (and indeed become stronger) on a 14 track set that blends old-skool sensibilities with a contemporary touch. ‘Sometimes’ opens up the set in uplifting fashion, the delicate ballad ‘News For You’ is a nice contrast while the funky, boogie infused ‘Get It Right’ is a real throwback number. ‘Eye To Eye’ allows Jaki’s vocals to stretch out while ‘Through The Rain’ is another mid 80s inspired slowie. The synth boogie of ‘When A Woman Loves’ and the drum machine groove of ‘About Your Love’ could have come straight from 1987. Another strong dancer comes in the form of ‘All Night Long (1985)’ while she closes the set out with an expansive ballad in the form of ‘Ready For Love’. A fresh twist on contemporary vintage from an experienced soulstress.
