Woman's Touch

Out Of Stock

An incredible album from Angela Johnson – a set that's way more than the simpler soul of her roots – and which has Johnson emerging as a tremendous new force in contemporary soul! The album's something of a "producer" set – as Angela wrote most of the tracks, and directs the production – but also mostly steps aside on vocals, to allow for contributions from a superstar lineup that includes Rahsaan Patterson, Julie Dexter, Eric Roberson, Gordon Chambers, Marlon Saunders, Monet, Lisala, Maysa Leak, and Frank McComb! The real genius of the set, though, is in the way that Johnson brings all these different talents together in a really unified sound – a way that makes for a record that still holds onto its own sense of soul, even amidst these heavy-hitters – and which marks Angela as a really classic producer from the old school, one with an undeniable mark on her music. There's a warmth and depth here we never would have expected in Johnson's music a few short years ago – even though that was still already plenty great – and the album features titles that include "More Than You Know", "Not The One", "Get Away", "Wait On A Maybe", "Cryin Over U", "Play", "Let Me Know", "Here I Stand", "Dream Flight", "That's Just The Way", and "Walkin".  © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
