Liv Warfield

Liv Warfield

Liv Warfield has one of the most promising voices in alternative R&B soul today. She has paid her dues alongside legendary artists such as Prince, B.B. King, The Roots, Dave Matthews Band, and Al Green.

Her alternative R&B soul-style is inspired by her musical heroines: Jill Scott, Nina Simone, Tina Turner, Sade and Mary J. Blige. "My strongest connection musically is with Chaka Khan and Tina Turner like me, there is a truth and power behind their voices and a rawness that resonates in me."

She is currently working on a follow-up album to the highly-acclaimed Embrace Me.

Lalah Hathaway

Lalah Hathaway

Ask her to describe her voice and she might say it feels like, sounds like, soul. But when it comes to defining the essence of music, itself, Lalah Hathaway can go on and on... "Music is so textured and layered," she says, "and it is an absolute entity in my life. It's three-dimensional, it's tangible..."

With SELF PORTRAIT, (Stax Records/Concord Music Group), her fifth studio album, including the Joe Sample duet, and on which she co-wrote and co-produced, Hathaway is poised to express who she is, where she is, today, at this very moment.

Born to Donny Hathaway, one of the most influential soul artists of the eighties, and Eulaulah Hathaway, an accomplished musician in her own right, the Chicago native first put pen to paper, "with the music," as a 10th grader. Later, as a student at Berklee College of Music, she recorded her self-titled debut in 1990, which spawned the hits "Baby Don't Cry," "Heaven Only Knows" and "I'm Coming Back." She returned four years later with A Moment, followed by the much-lauded The Song Lives On, her duet album with Joe Sample in 1999, the same year she began growing her now-signature, cinnamon-hued 'locs.

Ledisi

With her new album Pieces of Me, Ledisi undoubtedly proves that she is a woman to know. Loaded with emotion and charged with unparalleled soul, this record adds another dimension to the persona the singer has been sharing with audiences since her explosive entrance on the music scene a few short years ago. "Imagine some of the characteristics of Shug Avery from The Color Purple," Ledisi says playfully. "She is fiery, expressive, spiritual and uninhibited. Well, I would say this is my Shug Avery-like project," she adds with her trademark laughter. Anyone who's seen her dynamic live show or follows her on Twitter knows this lively and clever side of the singer and Pieces of Me delivers many more.

"This project is more layered," says Ledisi. "All of the songs reveal aspects of the confident woman I am becoming. It's a discovery of another side of me." Following her last two critically acclaimed albums -- 2007's breakthrough hit Lost and Found, which was nominated for two Grammy awards including Best New Artist, and 2009's rock & funk, attention-stealing Turn Me Loose, which also garnered two Grammy nods and a No. 1 debut position on the Billboard R&B chart -- Pieces of Me is a natural progression for a singer possessing an involuntary penchant for growth.

Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."
