Leela James’ 6th studio album comes three years after her last full length and ‘Did It For Love’ is a superb set of strong soulful numbers all the time topped by her faultless vocals. Highlights are many. The duet with Dave Hollister – ‘Good To Love You’ – is an irresistible dance groover, the Angie Stone-esque ‘There 4 U’ is a great uptempo number, ‘This Day Is For You’ allows her incredible vocals to shine on a sweet, effortless crossover vibe while ‘Our Love’ is another strong voiced uptempo number that perfectly balances a vintage vibe with modern day sensibilities. ‘I Remember’ is probably the pick of the slowies that grows into a sublime stepper, ‘Don’t Want You Back’ has a Gladys touch while ‘Take Me’ is an emphatic slab of soul – and that voice excels yet again! Undoubtedly will be an album of the year!
