Recording information: Kreative House Studio, Atlanta, GA; Rank 1 Entertainment Studio; The Love Factory, Atlanta, GA. After a couple albums with Shanachie, including a set of reggae duets with Musiq, Syleena Johnson moves to the eOne-affiliated Blakbyrd for her eighth studio album. Chapter 6: Couples Therapy doesn't have the most appealing title, but it reflects what Johnson has been through and covers a broader spectrum of emotions than indicated. At the dark end -- an area she has never shied away from exploring -- she is in particularly vivid form on "Perfectly Worthless," holding her head high in the wake of mistreatment. Opposite to that, there's "My Love," a blissful, traditionally styled ballad in which she uses her upper register to maximum effect. There are many moods between those two highlights, and they're all revealed with the same high level of conviction heard in Johnson's previous output. All but one of the songs were made with either Pierre Medor (Mary J. Blige, Monica) or the team of Kajun (Avant, Ronald Isley) and Andre Henry (Isley, Avery Sunshine). These songwriters and producers provide sufficient support for Johnson, who had a hand in the creation of each song. Also credit Johnson for going against the grain by not sharing the vocal booth with any rappers. Instead, the unmistakable voices of Leela James and Dave Hollister are each present on one cut. This is yet another pleasing, down-to-earth addition to one of the steadiest R&B discographies of the 2000s and 2010s. ~ Andy Kellman

シカゴのR&B歌姫が3年ぶりに放つソロ作は第6章にして7作目。LA・リード一派のケイジャンらが制作したミッド・グルーヴやレトロ調、切ないバラードなど、大人カップルの諸問題に踏み込んだ曲をディープ&ハスキーな声で歌い込むシリーナ節は、リーラ・ジェイムズとの共演も含めて今回も絶好調だ。ハイトーンの声が映える、同郷のデイヴ・ホリスターやウィリー・テイラー(デイ26)それぞれとのデュエットも快演。
