This is it: Brand New Heavies' Original Flava. The raw version of the Heavies. The sound that, unfortunately, didn't lasted for too much as the other Heavies records came with a completely different production, with much more danceable hits but less organic and relaxed as this one. I absolutely love N'Dea's unique soulful voice colour on the other BNH releases, but after listening to this one, I've found the other albums a bit over-produced, affecting the vocals as well which, at the end, might determined her approach to the music being not as natural and raw as those on Original Flava. Some BNH gems, and a few nice instrumentals made this album a complete project, amazingly hooking from the first to the last track. A must for all BNH fans, and a very attractive starting point to those not familiar with the band.
