On her debut LP, the Toronto vocalist reimagines beloved classics and rarities from the Chess Records catalog. Chuck Berry grooves are now delicate ballads, Bo Diddley turns into George Clinton and ‘50s doo-wop becomes ‘70s acoustic soul. The album features contributions from Questlove and Captain Kirk Douglas of the Roots, the Dap-Kings horns and more.
