This is why I love what I do. I get sent this kind of stuff…Daily. YahZarah’s voice is so soulful and so full – it’s also so clear and defined. I swear down, I can hear a little Prince on the instrumentation this track too. It’s actually giving me everything right now. YahZarah’s new album The Ballad of Purple St. James is going to incredible, I can just tell.
…Please do share YOUR thoughts on this!
Peace, Love & YahZarah

The Future aka Janelle Monae talks to VIBE.com about her artistry, Diddy, Big Boi and a whole host of other things. Monae’s debut album The ArchAndriod is out May 18th* – and I can’t wait. I know I said Erykah Badu’s & Marsha Ambrosius’ new albums are my most highly anticipated – but I gotta add Janelle’s to that list too. Quite easily one of the most interesting and exciting artists to have emerged in recent years.
Peace, Love & Janelle Monae
