Divine Brown — Divine Brown

After honing her skills in Toronto stage musicals, it's no surprise that Divine Brown can adapt her voice to any number of musical styles. First single "Old Skool Love" is a flashback to the sweet simplicity of classic Motown 45s, but the rest of her debut is all over the genre map — from the jazzy "Without You" to the soulful "U Shook Me," from a Joni Mitchell cover to more modern R&B sounds, her talent is on display throughout. The whole LP shines, though the more traditional styles stand out because she can use her voice to the fullest.
