Here's Esther, Are You Ready? has some nice arrangements and good songs but, damn, Esther Phillips' singing is so delicious, the way the words sound when she opens her mouth they're so textural, so characterful, so tasty, so mmmm.

This is obviously a disco album without much in the way of originality, and this could be a negative but it is no lazy cash in on the disco craze that was at its commercial height during nineteen seventy-nine. This album is a tight and professional cash in, and all the better for it.
