I am feeling lucky these days. Many of the top female house vocalists are taking center stage, creating beautiful, full-length albums (Aya, Lisa Shaw, Gaelle). Latrice is no exception, birthing a sweet, sexy, dance-centric album. Some of the songs, we have all probably heard before on some compilation cd's, are a welcome addition to an already great album.

Track Highlights:
*Illuminate - gorgeous beat, warm vocals
*Hold The Light - Soft, mellow, a must listen-to while laying next to someone
*Make My Heart - sexy, updated disco
*Celebrate - up-tempo ode to celebrating life
*Take It From Here - Reminiscent of Blue Six, Beautiful Tomorrow...some of y'all know what I mean!
*Let Me Tell You Why - Unexpectedly yummy...I don't know why!
*On and On - This IS one of my favorites, this song is truly representative of the deep soulful house movement
*Lessons Learned - More R&B, which is refreshing. Thanks for paying homage to one of back bones of deep soul house. I really like the lyrics
*Bless This House - Sunday morning fabulous, etherel vocals, soothing melodies and great beats...this is a sweet one
*Spirits - Another one of my favorites...how can you not like this one? Meditative and sexy all in one
*My Endless Way - Another one of my favorites...first heard this one on Kaskade's Om album...play this with the windows down, sun-roof back, with warm winds at dusk (only try this in CA, lol, jk!)

This is a truly great album for those of us who enjoy through and through good music...enjoy!

If you like dance tracks, this is a nice CD. I think I'm spoiled by hearing her first with Five Point Plan, particularly the "Rare" CD.

Rare was a stunning find, although this is good dance music.
