The past couple of years has seen the release of the first solo album from Dorinda Clark-Cole, the emergence of Karen Clark-Sheard as a powerful solo vocalist (with three albums already on the market), and the continuing presence of Twinkie Clark's work.

And now, the missing piece of the puzzle —the solo debut of Jacky Clark-Chisholm, is in place. As the last of the four active members of The Clark Sisters to step out alone, Clark-Chisholm has chosen to team up with songwriter and producer Carnell Murrell along with Antun Foster and Doreonne Stramler to deliver Expectancy, the appropriately titled project on Detroit's newest label, Entheos Records.

The album, recorded live at Cathedral Center in Detroit, brings in a specially assembled chorale to accompany Clark-Chisholm (which includes several extended members of the Clark Family, including Lorenzo Clark, Angel Chisholm and Aaron Chisholm), with musical director Byron Stanfield heading up the band.

Jacky Clark-Chisholm stays within her strengths, with the result being a very comfortable and listenable recording, with the songs flowing easily from one to the next.

Definitely an item to add to anyone's Clark collection, Expectancy from Jacky Clark-Chisholm hits the mark.
