The long-awaited Stax Records debut, Pink Elephant, from stirring soul singer N'dambi is out this October. Produced by Leon Sylvers III (Shalamar, Blackstreet, Gladys Knight), the album's lead single "Can't Hardly Wait" is a biting chunk of scorching sarcasm, delivered in the commanding singer's rich tone. Her opening complaint, "I don't know why I keep f***in' wit you," perfectly expresses the inability to turn a listless love loose. She sings and performs her own drum beats on the irresistible "The World Is A Beat," a percussive and pointed lament about the current state of the music business. This digital DJ promo is only a nibble of N'dambi's Pink Elephant, a masterpiece that layers her molasses-drenched vocals into cushy multi-part harmonies.
