Friday Freestyle
I was really in my zone when putting together this radio blog. This is the type of music I listen to most often...smooth soul. Although I didn't intend it, I noticed that alot of the artists have something in common. Most were background singers or members of a group before going solo.
There is an ex back-up singer for Jill Scott who goes by the name of V, and ex-Brownstone member, Nicci Gilbert. Also there is a background singer for Little Brother and Foreign Exchange, Darien Brockington and Martin Luther who has performed with the Roots. Alison Crockett, Leena Conquest, and Julie Dexter started as band vocalists before going solo.
Coincidentally, those last three ladies have taught music in the past or teach now. Rachelle Ferrell also taught music but I know you can't teach anyone to hit that high note the way she does on the track with her six octave range. Wow, that's amazing. Ok, that's enough trivia, let's get to the music.
