Average-ish: A few nuggets, but could be better.

Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Jamila Ford has the vocal ability to interpret many musical genres; her 2002 EP Fabulous was funk, soul, and R&B and her 2010 EP Traces of the Day was jazz and soul. On her first full length Enough Ford is the small woman in the coffeehouse with the big voice. Enough features Ford mixing acoustic soul with folk and rock reminiscent of Sheryl Crow and Fiona Apple. If you like that sound then Enough will make you feel right at home; if you don't know Ford's soulful execution and introspective lyrics this will give you a new appreciation. An award-winning songwriter and accomplished background vocalist, Enough showcases Ford in her element at the forefront. Ford lets listeners in on her own appreciation of her musical gifts with the smooth, melodic track, "Music II". Ford's lyrics and voice are equally emotional and strong with her reflections on love and heartache. On "Thank You For Loving Me" Ford sings her imperfect truths ("I am a sinner /I think thingsI shouldn't/Don't like to make promises/Cause it's work to keep them") and shows her appreciation for a lover that continues to be there-flaws and all. "A Little Too Much" has minimal production featuring acoustic guitar and Ford's sultry voice musing about loving too hard and the contemporary R&B feel of "If You Ever Loved Me" is about letting go. Ford is less convincing in the slow rock of "Easy For You" and "Make Me Forget" where she softens her commanding voice that doesn't quite evoke the emotion of the lyrics. Nevertheless, on Enough Ford takes soul to a stripped down progression that is exceedingly insightful and listeners will definitely want more of what Ford's expression is giving.
