R&B singer Elisabeth Withers made a huge impression on audiences with her captivating portrayal of the sultry Shug Avery in the Broadway musical THE COLOR PURPLE, and her first album captures that sauciness. However, she also displays a sweet way with a ballad, and a sensitive, almost folky take on some tracks. Demonstrating both impeccable vocals and impeccable taste, this album bodes well for the Illinois-raised singer. minimize
