Unstoppable is both a celebration of Staton's legacy and a bold step forward, with a sound that's funky and contemporary, but still steeped in the Southern soul and blues of her Alabama roots. Like all of Staton's albums, Unstoppable is deeply personal - but it also turns her attention towards current events. In addition to rousing covers of punk poet Patti Smith's People Have the Power, Nick Lowe's timeless rocker (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding, a pair of nearly forgotten soul classics: Norma Jenkins' 1976 burner I Fooled You (Didn't I) and a song particularly near and dear to her, Tyrone Davis' 1969 chart-topper Can I Change My Mind, the album features six originals written or co-written by Staton herself.
