All of her albums through Straight from the Heart are either good or great.

damn, true

she has an amazing discog but i'm pretty sure now is my favorite. "gotta find it" is also sublime

She was my second most-played artist on Spotify last year, which kind of surprised me. I suspect Rushen interference.

recently acquired this wonderful Jean Luc Ponty she plays on:

she has an amazing discog but i'm pretty sure _now_ is my favorite. "gotta find it" is also sublime

btw if this thread isn’t another big argument for always labelling any song you post, idkwtty

sorry, the album is aurora

that wasn’t necessarily aimed at you, brimstead (although, sure), more at all those favourites people posted upthread that got lost to the sands of time
