Yes, she does have a very nice voice!  Would love to see her do a Broadway 
musical... I always admire stars who are multifacted like that.  The duet is 
both pretty and smooth-sounding.

But I hope you meant singer and not songwriter.  "Cruisin'" was originally 
written and performed by William "Smokey" Robinson of Motown fame in 1980, 
when it topped the R&B charts.  Neosoul singer D'Angelo also covered the 
song in 1995 on his multiplatinum album "Brown Sugar".  Had to clarify--it's 
one of my favorite songs and I own both of the older versions.

"Not that great German master in his dream
Of harmonies that thundered amongst the stars
At the creation, ever heard a theme
Nobler than 'Go down, Moses.'  Mark its bars--
How like a mighty trumpet-call they stir
The blood.  Such are the notes that men have sung
Going to valorous deeds; such tones there were
That helped make history when Time was young."

--James Weldon Johnson, composer, Negro National Anthem
