Songstress Amel Larrieux delivers sweet and sexy sounds on her second solo album Bravebird. The ex-Groove Theory member recently garnered a Grammy nomination for her work with Stanley Clarke and has previously collaborated with The Roots and Sweetback. On Bravebird, Amel is backed by multi-instrumental collaborator/producer Laru Larrieux. True to her humanitarian side, Amel preaches self-acceptance (the Zen-like "All I Got") and advocates women's rights ("Bravebird"). "One of the most off-the-hook new soul albums in years." ?
