The latest soul singer to break out from the thriving Philadelphia scene is singer/songwriter Jaguar Wright. (The City of Brotherly Love is the birthplace of legends Patti LaBelle and Teddy Pendergrass as well as more recent arrivals Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Jazzyfatnastees, and Bilal.) Like Scott, Wright came to prominence through her association with hip-hoppers the Roots, contributing her considerable vocal skills to the rap group's "What You Want" (from The Best Man soundtrack) and "The Lesson, Part III" (from The Roots Come Alive). Wright's powerhouse alto works lusty rumbles and righteous wails with an ease that would do Lady Marmalade proud, so it's a shame much of the material on her debut relies heavily on repetitive, ho-hum grooves that mask her potential to let loose and sing. Things work best when Wright taps into the blues-woman/bad-girl vibe you'd expect from a girl named Jaguar, like on the Etta James-style opener, "What If"; the sassy, street-hardened soul of "Same Sh*t, Different Day"; and the tell-it-like-it-is ballad "Self Love," one of the few cuts on which Wright's pipes really get to shine. --Sylvia W. Chan

Customer Reviews

Timing is everything
Once this Artist finds the right time to blossom she will. I must admit I do love the What if's, other than that. I really did not find anything else on this album that excited me. Honestly the what if's is such a powerful song it carried the entire album. So if your feeling the neo-soul movement, then purchase this cd.

Motivation
A guy at my job turned me on to this CD. He actually burned me a copy of it after bragging about how talented she was. I loved it and played it out. It actually encouraged me to start listening to more Neo-Soul artist. She talks about more then just being in love, she talks about life and the drama that comes along with it. I also have Divorcing Neo to Marry Soul, get it dont sleep.

This Was A Mess!!
Thank goodness I purchased this CD used. It was horrible. I know that Jaguar Wright's voice is much better than this CD. That's why I'm so mad that she let this cat out of the bag.

What's up with all the cursing? She's trying to be the Neo-Gangster of soul? I was very disappointed with this album. It was not a good look and I would definitely think twice before buying anything from her again. I don't recommend this CD to anyone.
