Summary: Amazing arrangement
Comment: I liked her last album. So I knew this album would be good too. Oh man, I was impressed by the instrumental arrangement! I didn't know that the arranger for this album, John Clayton got a Grammy award for one of the tracks. I forgot what it was... But anyway since I like his style and arrangement I am going to buy his CD too. If you like the arrangement on this album, you should definitely check out his music too. [...]

Summary: AMAZING!!!!!!
Comment: I could not believe this was The Queen. I am a retired singer and always loved Queen Latifah's music, even rap:), and as a gifted actress. I was amazed at the versatility and sultry sounds that came from her wonderful voice. My nieces are teenagers and when I let them here this CD (I didn't tell them it was the Queen), they said that it was good, who is it? I told them Queen Latifah and they did not believe me until they sat there and listened to the entire CD and realized it was her. They have a new appreciation for jazz and blues and see it in a different light. Hail to the Queen!! Music has an amazing affect on teens. My nieces listen to this CD constantly. WOW!!!

Summary: Another great singing album
Comment: Queen Latifah fails to dissapoint. There is nothing she can't do. She can rap, She can act, and she can SANG! With Trav'Lin Light, She takes on classic songs originally done by Phoebe Snow, The Pointer Sisters, 10cc, Billie Holiday, just to name a few and adds her own, new fresh spin to them. What bothers me is that when it comes to her singing, she does strictly covers which makes me wonder if it's easier for her to write rap lyrics than it is to write jazz, R&B and easy listening lyrics. I think more original non-rap songs would be nice. Adding "I know where I've Been" from Hairspray was a great way to close the album. The voice this woman has makes me wonder why she started out doing rap music in the first place
My Top 5 tracks
1. I'M not in love (Originally by 10cc)
2. Poetry Man (Originally by Phoebe Snow)
3. I know where I've Been
4. I'm Gonna Live Till I Die
5. Tie - Every Woman is A Queen (Wal-Mart Bonus Track and an original song by QL) & Trav'lin Light
