While it might be tempting to compare her sound and style to everyone from Norah Jones to Lauryn Hill, 23-year-old MoZella stakes out her own musical territory-pop melodies, jazzy soulful vocals-on her debut EP release, a warm-up for her forthcoming full-length premiere. A beguiling blend of natural-born songwriting skills, a distinctive vocal gift and a lifetime steeped in music, MoZella could well be the most exciting new arrival from Detroit in decades. Maverick. 2005.
