      This "Crystal City" piece might not have a hit like "telephone number" inside it, but as fully fleshed album it is in my opinion superior to Tea for Tears... Almost no songs will let you get distracted from this "Soul" experience, a well balanced cocktail of pop, jazz and funk that feels very matured and mastered. It even had the audacity to be one of her cheaper album.

        I find this way more enjoyable than Rainbow. More consistent sound throughout.
