The debut album from Lakisha Jones proves that the powerhouse performances the singer delivered on the 2007 season of AMERICAN IDOL were no fluke. Released in 2009, SO GLAD I'M ME harnesses Jones's no-nonsense, gospel-charged wail into an impressive showing of 12 contemporary R&B and neo-soul tracks. With au courant urban cuts (the auto tune-tweaked "Let's Go Celebrate," for example), sweeping ballads ("Same Song"), and silky bedroom jams ("You Give Good Love"), SO GLAD I'M ME has its share of variety, but Jones's impressive pipes hold it all together.
