Questlove Potentially Producing Shelby

I saw a comment from Shelby talking about working with Questlove on Twitter/Instagram. I know people on the org love to rant about her and whatever but she has a great voice, and if produced with the right tracks (Im thinking something funk-heavy) I think she could put a bomb album. I didn't care for the Prince produced track she did but only because her lyrics killed it. I dont know what she sounded like or wrote about with her previous band but if ?uest can keep her run-ons and idiosyncratic vocalizations under control I'd buy it, because I normally like the stuff he produces.

Questlove damn near was begging Prince on Twitter to let him curate outtakes for inclusion on the Purple Rain deluxe remasters as soon as news broke. However, Shelby working with Questlove makes a lot of since. Shelby got her break singing background vocals for D'angelo's Voodoo Tour, whom Questlove was musical director for and secondly, Prince's production style doesn't gel well with a throaty vocalist like Shelby. Hopefully, Shelby will strike out on her own and Prince will nix the background singers altogether.

Good idea, he should curate the outtakes, since Prince has no love for them.

At least Quest cares about the music. Too much playa hatin here about an artist who is a big Prince fan and who actually should hate Prince after he and D'Angelo were fucked over by Prince.

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!
