Soul Watch: Tamara Wellons

The voice in it's pure form, without musical accompaniment or technical production, is a beautiful thing. The first thing I usually do when I visit an artist's site is go straight to the music. That's exactly what I did on Tamara Wellon's site. There was an acapella track so that's the one I decided to listen to first. What a beautiful voice!

Listen to Moonwalk (acapella).mp3

Listen to Fly Me To the Moon.mp3

from her site:

"I finally realized to get the best out of each performance; I had to push myself to higher and unplanned heights. It's a beautiful and courageous feeling to challenge myself vocally.' she says."
"As she prepares to work on her second album release and continues to break in stages, Tamara's voice grows. Her foundation, influences and natural soul reverb in a voice that is a force full of passion, southern grace, sensuality, and edginess."

Tamara's CD, "Introducing, Tamara Wellons" is available through her site. Another project entitled "Tamara in Wonderland" is available for free download. Currently Tamara is working with poet Naima Jamal on an EP that will be released this winter and working on a full length album. Her jazzed-up version of Nirvana's hit "Smells Like Teen Spirit" will be released soon. Tamara Wellons is definitely one to watch. Make sure you check her out. Thank you to DJ Stylus for bringing Tamara to my attention.
