...this product was recorded, cut and mixed by the legendary Michael Koppelman. Ingrid's claim to fame is that she brought that exotic, sultry spoken lyrical feel (see Madonna's Justify My Love and Janet's spoken parts on songs like That's the Way Love Goes and her own tunes in Graffiti Bridge) to female pop music. Her tunes Elephant Box and Heaven Must Be Near and Hippy Blood still could be heard in some underculture clubs and circles. I thought Little Mama was ready for radio play when I first heard it because of the funky bassline and just the right 'it factor' in her vocals, but the "baby's no reason to lose your dreams" hook was probably a lil too much for program directors. Too bad, they didn't know how much talent they ignored...The CD itself is subtitled 'May 19, 1992'. Last we heard from her was from her club/restaurant exploits mid to late 90's. She was waaay ahead of her time...

She was discovered by Prince. She played a part in his movie 'Graffiti Bridge'. After that she made her own album and it's fantastic! It's very Spiritual, poetic and the music is mysterieus. It's a pitty that it's out of stock now and that she never made a new album, but you never know!

Wow what an incredible recording. Ingrid's speaking voice is soft and angelic. This was released WAY too soon, its 5 - 10 years ahead of its time. Incredible metaphoric poetry and insight. Ingrid shows that a woman can be incredibly sensuous without taking off her clothes or using explicit sexual language. But as usual, Warners sabotoged the project and didnt let Prince have full creative control. Its a shame this is the only album she made. She's a rare talent whom other female artists (like Madonna) copied from.

I thought I finally found a song I have been searching for far and wide. I believe I did, but the remix I heard and loved was, in my opinion, much better than the original. If you enjoy spoken word set to a beat, you will love it. For me, however, not so much.
