On The Real Thing, her sixth studio album (not counting two Christmas releases), Vanessa Williams switches from the '70s soul covers that made up 2005's Everlasting Love to a mix of adult contemporary originals and faithful interpretations.

Williams doesn’t do anything to overcome the album’s unfashionable, irrelevant material.

On her Concord debut, Williams has evolved from the power balladeer of popular memory to a beguiling chanteuse.
