An atrocious new recording by a Kansas City vocalist temporarily poisoned the well for locally based R&B in my compound. Auditioning LeVelle’s album was delayed to allow my ears and mind sufficient time to recover. I needn’t have waited. Where the unnamed project is amateurish, uninspired and dull, LeVelle’s My Journey Contines is professional, invigorating and exciting. The silky Kansas City vocalist is joined by the neo-soul giant Anthony Hamilton on the grown-and-sexy single "Fell In Love". The remainder of the album is almost as good. Not only is My Journey Continues the strongest (non-jazz and non-classical) album by a Kansas City artist released in the first four months of 2022, it has the capacity to cleanse the memory of many unpleasant experiences.
