Has anyone heard Marva's new cd? I saw it posted on www.dustygroove.com . I didn't even know it was out.


It's been a long time coming for Marva King's debut -- but it's certainly been worth the wait, given that Marva's honed her skills here to a T! Marva's probably better known for her role in Diary Of A Mad Black Woman, or for her vocal performances with Prince -- but this debut CD is likely to get her plenty of attention with new audiences -- as it's got a full-on groove that more than lives up to its dynamic cover image! The vibe here certainly shows some funky traces of Marva's time with Prince, but the overall feel is more in a Neo Soul diva mode -- bold, but never too over the top -- and flavored with nice doses of classic soul, including a few well-placed covers of tunes from the 70s! Titles include "My Life", "Soul Love", "Every Night", "You Attitude", "Sistah", "Super Fly", "Be Thankful", "Mellow", "Baby This Love I Have", and "Singin Whoa". CD also features the bonus track "Wanna Be".
