An impassioned, political debut album by the Zimbabwean-American artist, activist former gymnast and soul singer touching on climate change to race issues to women’s rights, typified in first singe It’s a Good Day (To Fight The System). With styles and instrumentation stretching from rippling, soft, gentle soul to bouncy pop to louder rock and even gospel-influenced, her voice is powerful and broad-ranging, and the album is structured with outspoken burning issue sections “intro,” “intermission,” and “outro”. Other standout tracks include There’s Only So Much A Soul Can Take, the title track, a tale of being ripped off by a car salesman in ‘Merican Dream, and the dirty blues rock number that caustically bites at a boyfriend who wouldn’t take her home to meet the White Parents. An an artist full of anger and strong melody, keen things to stay until her last breath, and probably beyond. Out on Svikiro Records/Young Forever/BMG.
