[edit] Reviews
Her debut album, A Love Story, is an inspired blend of new Phill soul coupled with the vocal maturity Green developed through years of performing in front of live audiences. And her self-penned lyrics reveal the emotional range of a young woman who's seen some of life's ups and downs. --Mimi 12:27, 14 March 2007 (PST)
