Sent myself a buy link after 22 seconds of listening this phenomenal find! I cannot wait to hear more from Ms. Ponder! “Don’t forget my mama gave me my name.”
Favorite track: So Long.
I feel it when the sun don't shine
hold my head and I clear my mind to save me
Im gonna save me
I won't hide no I wont play small
I stay grounded I can never fall you wont shake me
You'll never shake me
and I don't care what people say ill do it my way
So Long all my fears
I'm ready for the day
if I lose some then I lost them
What more can I say
I know there's a darker side
the ones that only feed their pride
Their aching oh their aching
I long for a higher plane
Don't forget my mama gave me my name you don't make me
Nah you don't make
And I when I see that rising sun
I know my time has finally come
So Long all my fears
Im ready for the day
if I lose some then I lost them
What more can I say

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
