Crystal Waters' tracks soar not on the strength of her monotonic la-da-di voice but on that of effect-crazed producers. Her second album, Storyteller is peppered with her particular brand of scatting and with echoes of the cloying refrains from ''Gypsy Woman,'' yet the hip-swaying infectious grooves of ''100% Pure Love'' and ''Regardless'' can't be denied. B+
