The general strain I'm hearing when Stevie flexes her range is concerning, as well. Lady is the most prominent example, but the latter half of The Dealer exhibits the same symptoms.
On the other hand, songs like Mable Normand, Belle Fleur, 24K Gold, Starshine Silver, and others are just revelations.

I hear you re some of the AC sound, bit realistically speaking, Stevie has been veering in that direction since the mid-90s. I would, however, have enjoyed a Mirage-era rendition of IYWML. But I'm excited to hear the full song!
I frankly don't hear the strain in Stevie's voice - her upper range is no doubt diminished, but I'm impressed with the raw vocals I've heard so far.
