The weather is getting cooler; leaves will start turning beautiful shades of reds, oranges and golden yellows. I am going to need some warmth from great singers. Soulful sounds, beautiful voices and excellent lyrics will help my transition from summer into spring. So far this season I fallen in love Goapele, Corrine Rae Baily again and continue my introduction to Ms Jennifer Hudson.
Goapele first hit my radar when that whole Neo Soul started about 10 plus years ago with the likes of Maxwell, Eryka Badu, and Lauren Hill. Goapele dropped a beautiful song called “Closer” in 2001 which is making new rotation with Drake sing his version of Closer to My Dreams. Trust if you have never heard a track by Goapele check her out…her voice is beyond melodic and sensual. Check out her new track “Play” very sensual and perfect for those cool fall nights. Her new album set to drop on October 25th.
Slowly Corinne Bailey Rae with her voice like little bells is starting to engrain herself into my rotation. Magnificent and multi talented ladies with songs that make you want to sit with a glass and relax. Not only is she a beautiful singer but she strums her guitar just as lovely. Her latest CD dropped last year called The Sea. Looking for proof take a listen to her cover of Princes “I Wanna Be Your Lover” off of the The Love E.P. she does the song just while adding her own personal sound to the song. Perfect for a fall night with that special someone or hey just you.
I was pointed in the direction of Jennifer Hudson by my daughter. Who love’s J Hud and had me sit down last year during the Holidays to watch Dream Girls. My initial comment was Ugh…that I had to sit through watching Beyonce attempt to act. True to her word it was worth it to watch Jennifer Hudson sing her heart out. I fell for her on the spot! Her latest album I Remember Me sealed the deal for me…the song “I Remember Me” is a loved song in my house and I just can’t help it “No One Gonna Love You” is my jam. Anyone who has heard Jennifer Hudson or watched a live performance by this woman knows that she is just simply amazing. Let these ladies take you into fall while pulling out sweaters, long pants and closed toed pumps.
