Loaded albums don’t come much more loaded.

This smoking gun of a CD will no doubt impress industry people. Funny it hasn’tbeen picked up by the punters and made some serious progress. Firing on allcylinders, the glamorous named pussycat shows not only strength in depth butdiversity.

There’s so much on offer here it’s mindblowing, with crossover appeal to theteeny brigade to mamas and papas – but it’s serious music – so don’t be fooled.

Packing a real punch, (mustn’t forget the delicate stuff either) Sohl isdestined to be the next rock-chic, if she gets the lucky breaks. Her ‘strangefascination’ of fusing contemporary R&B with jazzy melodic rock-riffs (lookout for stellar wailing guitar solos) and catchy hooks, it brings music wellinto the 21 century.


She’s got a distinctive ‘ girl band voice’ a la Girls Aloud, but that’s wherecomparisons end. Try a few listens and you’ll be suitably impressed – hold onit’s a hot ride and very cool. Possible? Yes.

You probably won’t hear an album quite like it all year. The lady’s been pilingon the credibility for almost five years-her time has finally come – I hope.

Standout tracks: Are You Ready, Fine With Me, Forgive Me, Remember Me.
