Destani Wolf may not be a household name, but let's change that, shall we? Miss Wolf has been very busy in the last few years doing session work with everyone from the Crown City Rockers and John Santos to Ray Sandoval, and also becoming a member of O-Maya and most recently AquaLibre. If you do a search for her, it seems that no matter whom she comes in contact with, she is singled out for her great voice. The proof is in the pepper as they say, and now she has an album under her own name to cause even more damage.

Again And Again... (BraveWolf Productions) has her showing people she has more than what it takes to be a lead vocalist. As soon as her voice is heard in "Revelation", I realized that this very distant from those singers who are manufactured. You know that twitch you get in your eye when you can't believe you're hearing what you're hearing? I got that because at first I'm hearing distant echoes of Roberta Flack, mixed in with a little Lauryn Hill. I'm not sure of her upbringing, but there's a few hints of gospel and blues in Wolf's voice, perhaps the after effect of the experiences of life.

She can be soulful, but she also brings in a little bit of irie feeling in "Cecilita", a nice reggae song done in Spanish. A nice funk groove also develops in "Feel It", but then she steers herself for a soothing soulful drive with "De Donde Eres". I'm sure if she wanted to do a folk song or belt out a rock track, she could easily do that too.

Again And Again... may work as a demo CD, but the production and sound quality on this is ready to be picked up by a label for release, it is perfect as is. Destani Wolf sounds like a singer that could inspire other young people to get into music, she has that kind of power. Her voice is one of those that comes around and surfaces to the top every few years, and her music (she writes her own work) is the kind of material that people will want to take to heart.

(Again And Again... is scheduled for release on August 12th.)
