If you know Maysa, you are a fan of Maysa. Her sultry voice is one of the most soothing and welcoming sounds you’d ever want to hear. Maysa is back again with another collection; featuring a duet with Will Downing, another sultry-crooner on “Love Theory”. Can’t figure out what to play over cocktails or that dinner party, “Woman In Love” provides the feel-good music and vibes you need.

There are absolutely too many songs we love on this album and can’t live without hearing over and over again. The album touches on the many and varied takes on love, while providing a social message about war. The wars in our hearts and the ones we fight everyday. Raheem reaches across the board with influences from Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye to Prince. The deluxe album has a selection of must-have-songs, not found on the standard album. Its worth every cent of your investment.

Talk about saving some of your talent, Corinne Bailey Rae brings the simple style we’ve come to appreciate during her debut and adds a little more versatility to this new offering. Songs like “Closer” have a sexy Maxwell feel, taking Corinne out of the safe cutsey category we typically think of her in. The music on “Feels Like the First Time” is sensational and moving, along with all the other tracks on the album. This is a great follow up.
