yeah, "i am shelby lynn" was her dark breakup album, ala meshell's "bitter." but with so many pop elements, like some phil spector shit, and cool 808 programming. i even heard a sade influence! all under 40 minutes. really good album. dropped the same day "voodoo" did.

yes, mark ronson produced it along justin stanley (nikka's husband) and nikka herself. ?uest does some really cool balls-out drumming on a couple songs. james poyser and pino were involved too; it was like a "funky white bitch" (her self-given nickname) departure after "voodoo" LWFC, and "mama's gun". her live shows for this album were siiiiick. very solid album. her previous album was like a blues-y pop record. i think ronson pulled the sly stone and hip hop influences out of her on EGTS.

haha! it was inspirational for me--it's good to think i can be in my 60s and still finish something that haunted and tormented me in my 20s.
