Making this a special recording for Duboc, the singer illuminates the power of women by assembling an all-star, talented cast of female players including Patrice Rushen, Sheila E, and Mindi Abair among others. The result of course, is a collection of hard-driving soulful songs with an appreciable groove propelling the music forward.

Grand Master Quincy Jones, jazz genius and Michael's Jackson producer, said: "She has true blues roots in her voice from which you could swear that she comes from the ghetto!"
