Adriana Evans

Not sure how many orger's know about her, but i have seen a couple of posts about her in the past. She is absolutely one of my favorites, and her debut album is a classic. She is about to release her 3rd CD in two weeks. Here is the link.

Love her! Thanks for the info too! She has such a beautiful voice! Back in the mid 90s I wrote a video treatment for her song "Say You Won't" but they never shot a video for it. She was like one of the pioneers of Neo Soul.

Her 2nd album Nomadic I'm still trying to get. It's more edgy than her 1st release. This new album has the "look" of her 1st album, so I can't wait to hear the samples listed on the site. So thanks again!

The second album had a couple of decent songs on there, but nowhere close to the debut. I agree, the samples on the site seem like a return to her first release so I can't wait to get it.

Yeah, I'm listening to the samples now and it really does sound like she's returning to her roots and it sounds great. Her and Conya Doss have 2 of the prettiest voices out now.

YES YES YES YES AND YES! One of the purest voices and it's a shame she really didn't blow up like she shoulda. Never found her second but her debut album is killer worship

The debut is quite good. "Seeing Is Believing" was my jam back then!

I still bump her debut to this day. My fave off there is "Love Is All Around". She just has this angelic and airy voice that just makes you think of Spring and Summer - damn that was corny as fuck wasn't it? lol
