Here comes the second cd of Chocolate Thunder, a singer with a faultless voice full of different nuances, which will surprise most of you Linda Rodney, also known as Chocolate Thunder (her nickname tells everything about this amazing wild singer), comes from South Caroline and she has impressed me by the easily way of approaching a made to measure repertoire, which balances among soul, rhythm and blues, jazz, gospel and blues Chocolate shows an amazing control about all these musical genres, where she feels totally at ease, as she has been deeply influenced by Aretha Franklin, Etta James or Tina Turner She is receiving continuous and excellent reviews and she is gradually getting more and more popular among people who love to listen to different Afroamerican styles Ear Candy brings twelve original own Linda Rodney’s songs, recorded with a first class backing musicians, where you will find a remarkable good taste, a cool groove, a vitalist fantasy, an amazing technique and a fine sensitivity, on a perfect mixture with other horn, guitar, keyboards sounds and vocal harmonies The result is really colourful and bright
