As on her debut album, Stranger on Earth, Shelina Ward (aka Lina), aided and abetted by producer/arranger Jeeve, mixes old swing elements into her otherwise unremarkable neo-soul tunes. In the musical tracks, Jeeve displays an affection for string and horn sounds, sometimes appropriately distressed as if taken from scratchy old records, but these are juxtaposed to the usual thudding percussion sounds more typical of the genre. Lina, who employs several different vocal styles, sings over these eclectic tracks, usually restraining herself from the ranginess she displayed on her debut as she explores the subjects of love and self-assertion. There are moments that vaguely recall the 1970s days of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, another act with an affection for swing styles, but Lina and Jeeve never manage that group's humor or panache. When The Inner Beauty Movement succeeds, it does so because of Lina's catchy melodies and distinctive singing, not because of Jeeve's gimmicky production signature. ~ William Ruhlmann

Mojo (Publisher) (p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] new set that proves her debut was no fluke....There are still plenty of bewitching slivers of big band antique jazz thrown into the mix..."

There is only one good song on the entire CD - track 14. That is the track that I heard on the music channel and sounded great thinking there would be more good songs like that one.

 Very nice CD just as good as her first
Lina has her own style of music as everyone who is a fan, or has listened to her music before knows. Its a nice mix of the late 1920's and 30's sound with today's hip-hop inspired R&B sound. Verm much reminiscent of her previous album.

UNDER RATED!!!!!!!!!!!
This LP continues where Stranger on Earth left off. It's been a long time coming but it's been worth the wait. Track for track it hits the right buttons in my musical tastebuds. Her production still has the jazzy elements from her previous album but the sound has definitely evolved and she sounds sexy & soultry as ever.
I hope people don't sleep on this like they did on her first effort!!
In a time where everyone copies the same formulaic song structure to get in the top 10 this is a breath of fresh air!! If u like u'r albums without an appearence of a Lil Jon song on it then please buy this, u wont regret it.

Despite a remarkably soulful voice somewhere between Teddy Pendergrass and Bill Withers, and a knack for penning breathtakingly original songs about love and life's misdirections, North Carolinian Anthony Hamilton spent almost a decade toiling in music's backlots. His critically hailed MCA debut, XTC, foretold the neo-soul movement, but came years before the genre's explosion in 1996. Seven years later, Hamilton finished ...
