Details: Amazon.ca Denials, Delusions and Decisions is the debut solo album from singer/songwriter Jaguar Wright, the latest soul singer to break out of the thriving Philadelphia scene--the birthplace of legends Patti LaBelle and Teddy Pendergrass as well as more recent arrivals Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Jazzyfatnastees and Bilal. Like Scott, Wright came to prominence through her association with hip-hoppers The Roots, contributing her considerable vocal skills to the rap group's "What You Want" (from The Best Man soundtrack) and "The Lesson, Part III" (from The Roots Come Alive). Wright's powerhouse alto works lusty rumbles and righteous wails with an ease that would do Lady Marmalade proud, so it's a shame much of the material on her debut relies heavily on repetitive, ho-hum grooves that mask her potential to let loose and sing. Things work best when Wright taps into the blues-woman/bad-girl vibe you'd expect from a girl named Jaguar, as on the Etta James-style opener, "What If"; the sassy, ​​street-hardened soul of "Same Sh*t, Different Day"; and the tell-it-like-it-is ballad "Self Love", one of the few cuts on which Wright's voice really gets to shine. --Sylvia W Chan Product Description Wright, Jaguar
