Our Take

ETTA JAMES, The Very Best Of

Etta James. The name alone evokes feelings of soul, power, and raw emotion. This compilation album, cheekily titled "The Very Best Of," serves as a reminder of just why this legendary artist remains a force to be reckoned with in the world of music.

From the opening track, "At Last," it's clear that James' voice is a weapon of mass seduction, lulling listeners into a hypnotic trance with its sultry tones. The way she effortlessly transitions from heart-wrenching ballads to foot-stomping bangers is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Tracks like "I'd Rather Go Blind" showcase James' ability to convey deep pain and vulnerability in every note she sings. It's as if she's baring her soul for all to see, and we can't help but be captivated by her honesty.

But don't be fooled by the melancholy vibes - James also knows how to get the party started with tunes like "Tell Mama" that will have you grooving along in no time. Her charisma and infectious energy are palpable throughout the album, leaving us wondering why we don't have more artists like her in the industry today.

In conclusion, "The Very Best Of" is a testament to Etta James' enduring legacy as a true icon of soul music. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to her sound, this album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that comes straight from the heart.
