LORRAINE LAWSON Lorraine Lawson (Page Music/Boardwalk) Genre: Adult Pop Grade: B-

Rather tame first effort from this Canadian artist, seems to be suited for the easy listening/adult contemporary crowd.

In her record label's own words.....

---"If I Could" is instantly accessible with strong hooks that bring you back time after time and a melody that you'll want to sing after one listen. The tracks have singable melodies, thick chords and cool grooves. Lorraine says, "Some tracks are more R&B and some are more Dance. My aim was to make an eclectic record...I describe it as 'soulful-pop.' " A very urban sound, sexy with an urgent edge.

We wish her luck....
