If Amy Winehouse is a little too rehab-retro for you, or, like me, you were disappointed by the slick sounding mess that was Joss Stone's last record, Shelly Bhushan is right up your alley. Shelly's new record Picking Daisies is a smoldering blend of soulful jazzy funk and southern Memphis soul all anchored by her incredibly powerful voice. The emotion just pours out of the songs from the horn infused groove of Beautiful Me to the slow burning lover's lament of It's Over. Shelly even gets down to her Austin, Texas roots on the hand clapping, foot stomping, country tinged album closer ,The Nest.

So if you're craving for some soul with real emotion to back it up, you need Picking Daisies. The CD release party for Picking Daisies is next Thursday, September 20th, at Don Hill's in New York City. Head on down and take in that amazing voice in person.
