Much more eclectic than the trip-hop-fueled BREATH FROM ANOTHER, this 2005 album finds Esthero moving deftly from driving funk-rock (the pop-culture call-to-arms "We R in Need of a Musical Revolution") to jazzy pop ("Everyday Is a Holiday [With You]," featuring Sean Lennon) to soul-tinged hip-hop ("Gone," with rapper Cee-Lo). Throughout the record, Esthero's bold, nuanced vocals ably carry the tunes, often calling to mind Pink, albeit with added subtlety and an even wider stylistic range. Breaking up the mix are wonderfully relaxed Sade-like tracks, most notably "Thank Heaven 4 You," a lilting love song, and the percussion-heavy "My Torture." Although fans of earlier Esthero might be surprised by the overt dynamics of WIKKED LIL' GRRRLS, the album marks a substantial leap forward for this talented performer.
