Our Take

Album Review: ETTA JAMES - Queen Of Soulin

Oh, darling, get ready to bow down to the one and only Queen of Soulin, Etta James. This album is like a hot cup of British tea on a rainy day - comforting, bold, and just what you need to warm your soul.

From the moment you press play, Etta's powerhouse vocals transport you to a world where love, heartbreak, and redemption collide in a glorious burst of musical brilliance. Tracks like "At Last" and "I'd Rather Go Blind" showcase Etta's unrivaled ability to convey raw emotion through her voice, leaving you feeling both moved and utterly spellbound.

But it's not just Etta's vocals that steal the show on Queen Of Soulin. The backing band is on fire, laying down grooves so funky you'll be tapping your feet before you even realize it. The horn section in particular deserves a round of applause for adding that extra touch of magic to an already stellar album.

And let's not forget the impeccable songwriting on display here. Each track tells a story, drawing you in with its poetic lyrics and infectious melodies. It's no wonder Etta James is hailed as one of the greatest voices of all time - she truly is in a league of her own.

So, dear reader, do yourself a favor and treat your ears to the majesty that is Queen Of Soulin. Etta James may have left us, but her music lives on, inspiring and captivating listeners for generations to come. Long live the Queen!
