In a nutshell: Burrell is one of Contemporary Gospel's majorly under-recognized treasures. Having spent the late '90s honing her ineffable vocal craft on a trio of best-selling CDs, Burrell has remained largely unheard from since—at least in the realm of Gospel music. Thanks to high profile collaborations with big names like Stevie Wonder and Harry Connick, Jr., the soulful singer has earned quite a reputation in the R&B and jazz worlds. But with the amount of talent Burrell exhibits in a single sung line, she deserves her own creative space. No Ways Tired showcases the same sweet licks Burrell introduced listeners to over ten years ago and creates hope that this impeccably performed collection is the first of many more.
