    (August 26, 2023) Rhonda Clark has been a mainstay of the Flint, Michigan music scene for over three decades. After scoring international success in the late 1980s as a Tabu recording artist with hits such as “State of Attraction” and an unforgettable cover of “(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don’t Want to Be Right,” she took time off from recording to focus on family and other career pursuits.

    Following a much-lauded comeback last year with the Simeo Overall-produced “Sick Love,” Clark is staying on a roll with the powerfully sultry midtempo track, “That’s Alright.” Veering effortlessly from coy and seductive verses to an assertive chorus, she displays once again her remarkable vocal range and knack for conveying down-to-earh lyrics and romantic melodies.

    Building to a passionate climax of intense wailing and expertly arranged background vox, “That’s Alright” will likely leave fans longing for more. Clocking in at just under three minutes, its only imperfection is its brevity. We can only hold our breaths for an extended version—or another new slice of musical heaven from Clark very soon…
