Every Kind of People

Toby Lightman’s brand of smart, soulful folk-pop gains new insight and gravitas on Every Kind of People The title track—a simmering old-school R&B tune that shows off Lightman’s sultry vocals to full advantage—is a prime example of her empathetic outlook. There’s plenty of sass and fire here as well, heard in the teasing “Brand Spankin New” and the venom-dipped “Your Welcome.” The standout ballad “Bumps in the Road” celebrates true love with a touch of gospel grace.
