More of the same works just fine when drawing from the creative pen- and the phenomenal voice- of an artist such as Vaneese Thomas.  This daughter of Memphis music royalty once again earns her own way onto a high tier in the soul universe with a short-but-sweet set list of varied, ear-grabbing co-writes, delivered reliably with the convincing feel and intensity of Ms. Thomas’s vocals. The simmering shuffle “When You Were My Man”, the old-school soul ballad “Wandering” and the moody, minor-keyed blues “The Last Thing On My Mind” are standouts on a set calculated to leave the listener wanting more.
