Soul Is Heavy by Nneka

Released:  February 28, 2012
Rating:  69.33
Genre:  Soul

Nneka's father is Nigerian (she was born in Nigeria) and her mother German (she currently lives in Germany); she sings , mostly, in English with strong influences from R&B, reggae and hip-hop.

The reviewer from MusicOMH.com probably has the most accurate description:  There's a lot to recommend in Nneka's third album, though if it was slightly shorter, it could be considered a great album rather than merely a good one."  The album is 15 songs and almost an hour long.  There are seven songs I'd call great and the rest are good to very good.

A couple highlights include the reggae Lucifer (No Doubt) or the 70's style R&B tune Shining Star (this one is the official video.)  Click the hyperlinks to stream the full songs.
