Customer Reviews
2nd helping of Choklate tastes sweeter than the first....
Choklate dropped her debut on an unsuspecting public back in 2006, and through hard work, a hell of alot of touring and promotion via her indie label, her debut had left Choklate with a whole world of soul fans, all wanting that little bit more. Now Choklate has done just that and delivered what has to be the best soul album in the last 3 years - 'To Whom It May Concern'.
On first glance, it's the stunning cover shot which will probably get your attention - and the saying 'never judge a book by its cover' is irrelevant right now, because subtle, beautiful, smooth and sultry is exactly what this album is.
As with her debut, 'To Whom It May Concern' has some solid, classy, soulful romps which set the mood perfectly for a chilled night in - Choklates vocals on tracks such as 'Grown Folk', 'Hunneys Runnin' & 'Pretty' show that Choklate has lost none of that oooomppph she had back in 2006 - cue the head nodding and the smile on your face.
However, it's the surprising addition of extra funk that makes this album stand out for me - Vitamin D twists it up a tad during the second half of the LP just to liven things up a lil with the funktastic 'The Tea' and the Mary J-sounding 'One'A Y'All'.
Title track 'To Whom It May Concern' is a bold yet smoothly done soul romp with pefected beats where Choklate simply lays it down for the listener to...well...listen - and appreciate.
Truth is, there isn't a 'bad' track on this album - the inspirations are obvious - at times, tracks are reminiscent of Erykah Badu (Suns Out), Donna Summer (6.8 Billion) and Jill Scott (The Blues) - however, one thing is certainly clear, Choklate is an entity of her own entirely and there is absolutely no doubt that she will be the one providing inspiration to REAL soul singers in years to come.
You MUST buy this album and support real talent which may otherwise slip under the radar, suffocated by mainstream 'URBAN POP' which disguises itself as RnB and sometimes Soul in a deceptive way.....
