The Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) is an American committee formed in 1985 with the goal of increasing parental control over the access of children to music deemed to be violent or sexually suggestive. The committee was founded by four women: Tipper Gore, wife of Senator and later Vice President Al Gore; Susan Baker, wife of Treasury Secretary James Baker; Pam Howar, wife of Washington realtor Raymond Howar; and Sally Nevius, wife of former Washington City Council Chairman John Nevius. They were known as the "Washington wives" – a reference to their husbands' connections with government in the Washington, D.C. area. The Center eventually grew to include 22 participants. Wikipedia

I was SO excited when I found out that Lalah was releasing a new project. I like the more uptempo songs because they show a different side of her which is cool, but she just flat out SHINES on "Small of My Back", "This Could Be Love", "You Were Meant For Me", and of course, "I'm Coming Back", which is one of any real Lalah fans' favorite songs. Love love love it!
