2012 release from the R&B vocalist and former Labelle member. Whether you've been a fan since the days of Labelle and her acclaimed solo albums of the '80 s or you're new to her signature sound, Nona will have you moving your feet and working your brain at the same time. On focus tracks quot;The Tea Partyquot; and quot;Black Boys,quot; the groove is deep and the lyrics are as current as the crawl on the 24-hour news networks. Powerhouse vocals, blistering guitars, killer horns, gospel flourishes, and unstoppable beats fuel scathing attacks on political and religious conservatives, corporate greed, and black-on-black violence, among other targets. The result is an album steeped in vintage R&B and soul, but totally in tune with the here and now.
