Rebecca Ferguson: Heaven
Aug 15th, 2012 by dcronin
“The debut from 2010 X-Factor runner-up Rebecca Ferguson, 2011′s Heaven is a stylish, expertly produced contemporary R&B and pop album that showcases Ferguson’s emotive, soulful voice… These are literate, thoughtful songs that balance a kind of singer/songwriter approach with a more club- and dance-oriented aesthetic… And while the old-school soul sound certainly informs much of what Ferguson offers here, it is often filtered through a kind of ’90s R&B and club music approach that brings to mind the Brand New Heavies as much as it does Aretha Franklin.” –All Music Guide
