Gigi Allen (not to be confused with the similarly named porn star!) originally hails from Greenville, South Carolina. She is a high energy performer who is happiest when she's on stage singing in a contemporary Soul/Funk and R&B style. (Click on the photo of her above for her bio). When I first heard Dangerous I was blown away. It's dynamic with an insistent driving mid-tempo beat that's infectiously catchy. I can relate to her record label saying she is stylistically somewhat like Tina Turner at one extreme and Jill Scott at the other. If this doesn't propel your legs onto the dance floor then probably nothing else will. In fact, I suspect, you will have shuffled off your old mortal coil and everyone will be waiting to see you taken off to the funeral home...
You can hear the entire album I Need You (2011) on the link n the album cover. Dangerous is the final track at the end. (Be warned the link stars playing her interpretation of the old Janis Joplin song Piece of My Heart first. Just move to the final track and hit play).
Do she sound as good live as on the recording? Why not judge for yourself and watch the video of her performing live in Baltimore: Gigi Allen looking fabulous and in excellent form.
