Wayna - 'Higher Ground'
5 out of 5 discs! - TOP SHELF RATING
Wayna had an uphill battle in front of her considering she was a new artist that was entering the declining music industry. Despite it all, the songstress managed to put together one of the best albums to be released last year. So it was no surprise, at least for me, when Wayna became a Grammy-nominated singer with her very first album Higher Ground. Each song on the album flows right into the next, placing the listener on a magic carpet ride through Wayna's soul. She touches on engaging issues like police brutality ("Billy Club"), workplace b.s. ("Office Politics"), and domestic abuse ("My Love"). Wayna gets her point across in each of the songs in a more subtle, quaint manner rather than beating it down your throat like countless other artists who've attempted to spread awareness on the issues. Her exquisite rendition of Minnie Riperton's "Lovin' You" is a breath of fresh air that certainly does the original song justice. The humorous "Mr. Duracell" is an album standout, along with "Close 2 U" featuring Kenn Starr. If you haven't heard Higher Ground, then you surely are missing out on a musical gem. Wayna may not have won a Grammy, but Higher Ground is a winner when it comes to real quality R&B music.
