Soul singer N’Dambi brings the heat with Pink Elephant, her 4TH CD release, and Stax Records debut. On Pink Elephant, N’Dambi lays her smooth vocals over easy beats, and leaves you feeling good. “Pink Elephant” gives a nod to old school sound, but keeps it sounding fresh. Even better, N’Dambi is a skillful songwriter and gives us songs that tell a story. On the lead single, “Can’t Hardly Wait”, N’Dambi sings about her lover, “I can’t hardly wait to be through with you”, even she can seem to get over him. Relatable? Absolutely. On the clever and oh- so- smooth, “L.I.E”., she sings of a married man’s double life as he travels across the Long Island Expressway (LIE) to meet his lover. With its groovy bass line and “supporting-my-man” theme, “What It Takes” begs you to sing along. The 80’s flavored, “Nobody Jones” is a great story of a woman who won’t let her surroundings keep her down. For jazz lovers, check out “Imitator”, a quirkily off-kilter little tune. Other hot cuts include the sexy slow jam, “Ooh Baby”, the breezy, “Mind-Blowin” and “The One” and “Take It Out”.
