A solo album by Rhonda Thomas, a darling who inherits Isaac Hayes' blackness.
RHONDA THOMAS, who is also active as a member of the neo-soul bossa group Jiva, is a talented singer who served as Isaac Hayes' backing vocalist for 11 years and has cultivated her absolute singing ability as a solo singer. He is a true veteran soul singer known only to those in the know here in Japan. Her powerful singing voice, which has won multiple awards at the Apollo Theater, has a style and improvisation influenced by Sarah Vaughn, Al Jarreau, Phyllis Hyman, and Chaka Khan, and her vibrato is somewhat reminiscent of Denise Williams. It has an appealing charm. The long-awaited 3rd solo album "Listen" (Deluxe Edition) by fans is an album where you can fully enjoy her sensual and colorful singing voice. This is a special piece that you should pay attention to for its lyrical skills!
