She's Back (2019)

"Warwick's voice is somewhat weathered, but she is still a warm, expressive vocalist. She's Back gets off to a slow start, with four ballads in a row, three of them duets (with Musiq Soulchild, Kenny Lattimore, and Kevon Edmonds). While these songs might not be bad on their own, they slow the initial momentum of the album considerably. She's Back begins to pick up steam with the fifth track, a revamped version of Warwick's 1979 hit, "Déjà vu" that features rapper Krayzie Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. While the obligatory rap guest verse on pop and R&B albums has become a bit of a cliché, this new "Déjà vu" is actually kind of fun. (...) With some thoughtful editing, from 15 songs down to 10 or at most 12, She's Back would pack more of a punch. But in any event, it's good to have Warwick back. It's also worth noting that She's Back includes a bonus disc, Dionne Sings Dionne, an entertaining 1998 album in which Warwick revisits a set of songs from throughout her career."
