She's not as exhuberantly precocious as upstart newbies like Alicia Keys, nor is she as dancefloor-based as gravel-voiced veterans like Mary J. Blige. Nor is she a new-generation singer casting back into Soul's past for inspiration. Her roots in Soul are sturdy: she's the daughter of "Take Me To The River"'s Syl Johnson. You can hear him in her relentlessly rooted delivery and a gravelly voice that recalls the era when Soul hadn't yet shaken off its Gospel roots. Johnson released her major label debut <i>Chapter 1: Love, Pain & Forgiveness</i> in 2001 to critical accolades but muted popular interest, despite a lead single ("I Am Your Woman") penned by R. Kelly. - Sarah BardeenNeo-Soulen720Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:06:52 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.39806&rws=%2Fsyleena-johnson%2Ftop-tracks.rss Syleena Johnson is as easily defined by what she isn't as what she is.
