    Like Wright's previous albums, Freedom & Surrender is graceful and exacting, yet those qualities come across in a fashion that does not seem deliberate--remarkable for material that draws from folk, blues, jazz, soul, and gospel and often fuses two or more of those genres.

    What might have been a great album merely becomes a good one, due to fact that much needed variation is in such short supply.

    Wright has unequivocally delivered her best album yet. [Oct 2015, p.94]

    Her fifth LP sees her back in that safe zone between smooth jazz and quiet-storm soul, with signings including Norah Jones sidekick Jesse Harris and country-rock kingpin JD Souther.

    Its sound runs slicker and punchier than Ms. Wright’s previous standard.
