While your at it check out: Lizz Fields (jill Scott back up singer), goepele, Clara Hill.


nod Check on Goapele and Clara Hill. Both I truly dig, especially Clara's Restless. Not familiar with Lizz so I'll add her to the list too.

Blackstar is what sold me on her. That and Baby Love. I wish I could see her perform live. I'm gonna have to dig that CD out wish makes me think... is anybody hip to Conya Doss? I discovered her and Yahzarah around the same time. I've only heard a little of N'Dambi but I think I need to check her out because her name keeps coming up. I think the album cover deterred me a bit but I'll add her to the list.

I freakin hated Goapele's album. Another case of overhype for a crappy lackluster voice, although "Romantic" is a killer track. I have it on the same comp as Yaz's "Baby Love".

I have Lizz Field's Album. It's great.

Speaking of Amel, I didn't know what she was doing w/Bravebird. Not to say it isn't a good set, I just wasn't feelin' it. It was not as cohesive as infinite possibilities.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Sade. She's got a unique voice. Is it powerful? Not really. But it IS hypnotic in the way it rides a groove.

I used Amel's "Giving something Up" on the same disc that I have Chaka's "Midnight" biggrin

I completely felt Amel's Bravebird. Completely nod

While not a purely consistent album, Yahzarah's "Black Star" smokes this chick's album out of the water. Some of these tracks fuckin slam, especially "Baby Love". Girl has the voice to back it up.


Damn, I love Yahzarah but no one ever knows who she is so she's my private joy. I wouldn't even think of Amerie in the same category/league--I like both but you're right, Yahzarah has some hot tracks.


I saw Yahzarah live here in Detroit. Very energetic show. Her voice can get a little "squeaky" at times, but overall, she's cool.

Conya Doss will be here live at a club in Detroit this weekend. The opening act is a band I used to play with, Painted Pictures. I'll have to check them out!

LOVE Lizz. Goepele's good, too, but I like Lizz's voice better.

So Conya's alive and well, huh? I think she even has another album but not suer how old it is. Hard to keep up with these underground and artists. I really liked her album A Poem About Ms. Doss.

Not a GREAT vocalist (rare in contemporary R&B these days), but she's not terrible either. She's Janet-esque in the sense that she can make a few tracks really "work."

And she happens to be fine.


I agree. Who do you think really is a Great vocalist in these days of
image over skill??




Jill Scott, Jaguar Wright, Christina A., Faith Evans

The single's got a real old school flair to it.

It's the DRUMS that have me hooked to that bad boy. It's off the chain!

Not the best single ever, but definitely a good song.

Love the '60s pyschedelica-meets-hip hop soundscape the beats create and her high-pitched screams.
