Sophomore artist Renée Sebastian’s second release, Mrs. Sebastian,
is jam-packed with creativity and idiosyncrasies. The opening cut,
“This Is Me” is distinguished with dub production and free-flowing
words, reminiscent of the singer-songwriter’s influence from Meshell
N’degeocello. Sebastian’s competent singing weighs down the remaining
five cuts which have compelling arrangements and compositions that
could give Prince a run for his money. This is a refreshing offering
for 2008. – forrest green III
