She's got a few hits.  Modern R&B, not bad.

actually i quite like her (which is a source of great amusement for markie)......
 
 her sound is very mellow and laid back.......her album is great.
 
 i'm not surprised she sold out at all

I like her as well. She doesn't fit into the cookie-cutter R&B category with the likes of Be-yawn-ce and others. She's from Philly and has performed with The Roots, too.

according to black thought on the live album, she wrote the hook for You Got Me...great song.

I'm suprised this is called the Buzz Tour 2004, I always thought that was more of a RAVE term. I guess I was wrong.
