N'Dambi was born Chonita Gilbert in Dallas, Texas. This album is, actually, her 4th album, and represents a forward career move for the woman, relocating to the rejuvenated Stax Records imprint. N'Dambi used to sing backgrounds for Erykah Badu, and, along with the help of the legendary producer Leon Sylvers III, she recorded this fine album in Santa Monica, California. To her credit, N'Dambi has a hugely distinctive vocal styling, making her instantly recognizable to most Soul Music fans. This set is, probably, her most satisfying release to date. Previous outings did contain killer tracks, however, these recordings show a new maturity and consistency throughout the proceedings, which make for a hugely enjoyable journey, stopping off at various welcome points along the way, one of which is the wonderfully titled 'Nobody Jones', which is as good a song as I have ever heard from this woman. 'LIE' is another cracker, containing a very socially aware lyric. Other moments of high standard arrive in the contrasting shapes of 'Mind Blowin', the Southern sounding 'Daisy Chain', 'Can't Hardly Wait' and the moody and melodic 'What It Takes'. N'Dambi's music is a thoughtful and really does set a mood throughout. 'N'Dambi....Mistress Of The Mood Music'! Very bold! Very fine release.
