Walk Out
2007 studio album by Lady Saw
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Composition
Some of the songs were classified as more "vulnerable" and less explicit than her previous work.[2] In "No Less Than a Woman (Infertility)", Saw discusses her personal experiences with infertility.[3] "Not the World's Prettiest" has been classified as "lilting R&B" and criticized Western conceptions of beauty; its theme was compared favorably to "Unpretty" by TLC.[2][3]
Reception
Critical
On the review aggregate site Album of the Year, Walk Out holds a score of 80 out of 100.[4] Allmusic awarded the album four stars out of five; a review for the outlet, written by David Jeffries, likened it to Prince's early releases and deemed it "an exciting mix of shocking, intoxicating, daring, and sure."[3] Writing for the Lincoln Journal Star, Brett Johnson regarded the album as evidence that Saw "endures not only because of her sharp tongue but her big heart."[2] In the July 2007 issue of Vibe, as part of a feature on a reggae recording studio, the album was highlighted as being in "Heavy Rotation".[5]
Commercial
The album became Saw's fourth entry on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart, on which it peaked at number eight.[6]
