O’s Notes: Patti is a soul, R&B diva true to form on this, her latest release. It was made while she turned 50 and it is a joyous celebration: she’s still got it! The beats are solid and the groove is tight courtesy of production by Paul Brown. The strong cast of musicians include guitarists Paul Jackson Jr. and Tony Maiden. Boney James makes a notable appearance on the radio friendly “If You Really Need Me Now”. Pop in the disc and enjoy.
