Singer Avery*Sunshine might not be a household name, but it shouldn’t be long before more folks are connected to her funky gumbo of soul, jazz and gospel. Having released her self-titled debut outing three years back, her latest, The SunRoom, expands on the singer’s aural ideas about mixing various genres and discovering what kind of sounds can take shape.

Experimenting sonically with musical partner/co-producer Dana Johnson, the two retreated to their Atlanta-based studio and emerged three months later with the scorching tracks (including “Call Your Name,” the moving first single). “Although I grew up singing and playing piano in church, soul music was always a big part of my life,” Sunshine—who hails from Chester, Pennsylvania—explains.
