Before Leona Lewis became an international pop star, she dabbled heavily in R&B. With Best Kept Secret, an album that she recorded in 2005, she channels the energy of late 80s/early 90s R&B. Highly danceable with synthesized production and airy vocals, Lewis abandons her American Idol-esque stylings for a straight R&B vibe cultivated by artists like Karyn White, Pebbles and SWV. Highly danceable and light at heart, Best Kept Secret has a retro-feeling that’s worth uncovering. –rogue marie
