Sheila E. - Icon (US Retail) (2014)

2014 album from the Pop/Latin performer and percussionist. On ICON, Sheila E. clearly demonstrates not only her talents but also why she has become such a staple in the music world. Her smash single, 'Fiesta', is an anthem with Sheila and her drums at the center, immediately setting her a part as an artist who can, simply, do things other artists can only attempt. But while there are plenty of shining moments of drums and percussion on the album itself, tracks like 'Lovely Day' and 'I'll Give You That' remind fans new and old of Sheila's abilities as both a vocalist and a storyteller. The fiery soul behind 'Mona Lisa' marks the track an instant classic, a rhythmic embodiment of Sheila herself. The album is powerful. Inspirational. And fun. Sheila never let's ICON sit too long in contemplation, driving the music forward with a steady hand, immense passion, and as always, killer heels.
