Review by Kenneth Breeze
When I Was A Little Girl by Gloria Jones is a delightful album that showcases the artist's versatility and range. The album is a collection of soulful tracks that are both nostalgic and contemporary in their sound. Gloria's powerful and emotive vocals are the highlight of the album, and she effortlessly brings each song to life with her passionate delivery.
The album opens with the title track, "When I Was A Little Girl," a slow-burning ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song is a poignant reflection on the innocence and wonder of childhood and is a fitting introduction to the album's themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Tainted Love," a cover of the classic track by Soft Cell, and "Heartbeat," a soulful ballad that showcases Gloria's impressive vocal range. "Windstorm" is another standout track that features a funky bassline and a catchy chorus that will have listeners tapping their feet.
