Rosie Ledet’s music continues to change—and that’s a good thing.  It is evolving. The zydeco princess’ debut on the JSP label is also her first with producer Andre Nizzari, and under his direction the gentle flirtations with a more mainstream sound heard on previous albums, such as 2001’s Show Me Something, are brought into full bloom.  The result is her freshest and most energized release to date.

The songs are classic Ledet; her sassy, sexy way with words is evident in the come-hither lyrics of the title track, This Is Gonna Take a While, and Git Up on It.

The range of her vocal abilities is also well represented; her voice is clear and light on the straightforward zydeco of Caffina, sultry and Beyoncé-esque on For Those Who Like It Funky—indeed, it’s easy to imagine Ms. Knowles singing the R&B rumble Poison. Funky, as the title suggests, is given a funk under-pinning by Chuck Bush’s bass, while Baby What You Do to Me, and Stop Lyin’ Keep Tryin’, sound almost like accordion-rooted rock. This is largely due to Nizzari’s handling of the guitars and keyboards; his hook on Love Is Gonna Find You is reminiscent of Mark Knopfler, while his keyboard work on Keep the Faith has a fun, space-age feel to it.  But just when the music seems to venture too far into foreign territory, Ledet’s energetic accordion and Damon Dugas’ rubboard remind us where its heart lies.

Some of Ledet’s longtime fans may balk at what they hear, but an artist of her caliber deserves to be heard by a wider audience.
