2013 sophomore album from the R&B/Soul singer/songwriter. As she began the audacious task of following up on her acclaimed debut LP The ArchAndroid, she took along some trusty, brave companions: the original music producers of The ArchAndroid, Nate “Rocket” Wonder and Chuck Lightning of Wondaland Productions. And together they crafted a new strain of jamming music they called “ish.” From the sound of The Electric Lady, ish is an urgent and dangerous form of dance music, rebel music that forces one to fight, jam, and fall in love. Like on The ArchAndroid, the sonic textures of the album are varied, and the past and present come together to explode and create a mind-blowing future for Pop and Soul music.

Enjoy it! This is a wonderful album!
I’m brand new here, signed up for this album. So I’m not sure whether a web rip of a low-quality stream counts as “leaked.” But it’s known that the rlslog source is just that: a transcode of the stream on VH1.
This album is just amazing. I’m loving every minute of it. I’m going to get the physical version very soon!
