A talented young artist out of Philly drops her first single “Ne Me Quitte Pas (Don’t Leave Me)”:
She says the song is about “falling in love unexpectedly & feeling like its too good to be true but actually it’s good and true. This feeling was proof to me that good things can happen to people that feel ugly inside.”
She’s been quickly making a name for herself in her current hometown of Philly (originally from New Jersey) and beyond. She’s shared the stage with Daniel Caesar, Noname, Ibeyi and Sudan Archives and was highlighted by NPR as an artist to watch. Her story, that of a 23 year old black woman dealing with and learning about life’s obstacles and celebrations, is understood best through her song lyrics – she cites J Dilla, Nancy Wilson, Jodeci, Kirk Franklin, Hazel Scott and Digable Planets as just some of her many influences. She’s a career artist with a long road ahead and her sound defies trends; capitalizing on a velvety and familiar voice with timeless jazz / folk / R&B instrumentals.
