Sharon Ridley - I Cant Get By

Review by Baron Cannon

Sharon Ridley's album, "I Can't Get By," is a soulful and powerful collection of songs that showcases her impressive vocal range and emotional depth. The album opens with the title track, which immediately sets the tone with its funky bassline and Ridley's soaring vocals. Throughout the album, Ridley tackles themes of love, heartbreak, and resilience with honesty and vulnerability. "Where Did You Learn How to Love" is a standout track, featuring a haunting melody and poignant lyrics that will resonate with anyone who has ever been hurt by a former lover. Meanwhile, "Stay Awhile with Me" is a more upbeat and playful track that showcases Ridley's ability to infuse even the most heart-wrenching subjects with a sense of joy and hope. "I Can't Get By" is a must-listen for fans of classic soul and anyone looking for an album that speaks to the complexities of the human experience.
