Aside from the gospel release, It's a Woman's World was Holloway's first album of original material in 33 years. Pittman and his producer-songwriter partner, Preston Glass, erased all traces of the Motown sound from Hollow ay's return release, and built the album on more contemporary sounds. "That's a shame," wrote Detroit Free Press critic Terry Lawson in a review located on the newspaper's website. The album "could have stood fewer programmed be ats websit e. "It's not the brand-new Brenda Holloway. It's not the revised Brenda Holloway. It's not the old-school Brenda Holloway. It's the real me."

I grew up in Watts and lived on the same street that Brenda did (Bandera Ave), I used to walk by purposely every day hoping to hear her sing and play the piano. She went to the same high school as my cousin and they talked briefly from day-to-day. I hope all is well with her and her family, God Bless.
