The classic Motown vibes of "Give Me a Little More Time" and "Out of Reach" may have become her trademark sound, but rather than retreading old ground, Play to Win shows she isn't averse to going a bit country, with its 11 tracks full of twanging steel guitars and blues rhythms owing more than a nod to the old-school Southern soul of Candi Staton.
