...Bitter is NOT an R&B album. It's an acoustic pop/rock one. She even said that the goal of that album was to get her out of the R&B/Soul box. I would vote either of her first two albums as two of the best soul albums of the last decades.

Also, the LJ soundtrack is mainly beloved by middle class blacks who are now in their mid 30s to mid 40s. That does not equate "black folks as a whole".
