Whose into Yahzarah? I just discovered her music and I'm blown away. I'm in love with her 2010 album - THE BALLAD OF PURPLE SAINT JAMES. She has another album that was released back in 2003 titled - Blackstar. It's on my download list.

I first heard her a couple of years back. I think she is fantastic. The Purple St james album is great.

She actually has three albums and an essential e.p too.

The e.p is called The Prelude, it came out in 2008 (i think).

The albums are Blackstar, which you also mentioned, and happens to be my favourite, and another album from 2001 called Hear Me, this one ios harder to find (on cd).

I love her use of live instruments as well as beats. She seems to have been overlooked by the mainstream, and has slipped behind the Erykah Badu's and the Janelle Monae's.

On a side note,

If you like Yahzarah, you should check out N'Dambi. These women are in a league of their own.

Hope you can track down the other Yahzarah albums and the e.p.

Enjoy.

There is no other to compare to you
You've got me blinded, givin' all all that I have to you
You showed me feelin's that I'd never find
But those feelin's ain't complete when you're not here all the time

Oh baby love, early in the morning
You come creapin' in my mind, oh baby love
Oh baby love, I wake up with a yearning
Ready for your touch, oh baby love

She is the bomb. Had no idea she had a new joint out. Gotta check it out.

She is great. And a biig Prince fan too. Saw her live 2 weeks ago in D.C. and she did a killer version of International Lover. Can't wait for January 1st!

Me too

Loved her rendition of Stevie/Syreeta "Come Back As A Flower".

She is even better live. And one of the nicest people, too.

Yahzarah opened for Badu on the Mamma's Gun tour too.

I'm going to have to go and see her the next time she plays the UK.

Influences

Williams has been influenced by singers such as Prince, Stevie Wonder, and Erykah Badu. Although Yahzarah has done many R&B influenced songs, her primary musical style is heavily influenced by elements of electronic soul and pop music. Williams has also influenced musical artists such as Sy Smith, The Floacist, and other well-known singers.

I love the song she did with Foreign Exchange called "Sincere"
