Personnel: Syleena Johnson (vocals). Audio Mixer: Chris Steinmetz. Audio Remasterer: Herb Powers. Arranger: Syleena Johnson. Chapter 4: Labor Pains is arguably Syleena Johnson's fi rst attempt to grapple with the towering legacy of her father, Syl Johnson. While Syleena's previous albums featured smartly produced, forward-looking R&B, the retro flourishes of Chapter 4's "Shoo Fly," with its slow burning wah-wah guitar, and Syleena's incredible interpretation of her father's gut-wrenching signature hit "Is It Because I'm Black," mark a fascinating and rewarding change of direction for this talented singer. ~ James Steiner Show more
