Boasting a smoky voice and a natural talent for interpreting soul music, Rebecca Ferguson has established herself as one of the premier R&B performers since her 2011 debut. She takes on the diva mantle on the strutting “Backtrack”, plays it sweet on the laidback “Mr Bright Eyes” and gives the stripped-down “Nothing's Real But Love” the slow-burn treatment. Ferguson's take on soul borrows inspiration from Aretha and Billie but pushes it aloft with a different kind of strength, giving timeless songs a modern glint.
