Ben Braunstein's year in live music

2015 was my sixth proper year going out to see live music. Although I always try to keep some sort of live music log, I'm still muddy on the actual number of shows I saw this year. Certain months were more dry than others, while other months were packed with three and four+ shows a week — I probably went to somewhere between 35 and 40 shows?…

Who Is Shameia Crawford? by Jermaine Sain

From When We Speak TV

WHO IS SHAMEIA CRAWFORD?

BY JERMAINE SAIN

Who is Shameia Crawford?  Some may simply classify her as a Soul or R&B artist but I believe the essence of her artistry is rooted much deeper.  Shameia first displayed her talents to her local church congregation and by the age of 5, knew that she wanted to be a singer.  By the age of 17, she released an independent album.  In addition, to such a great accomplishment at a young age, she continued her pursuit of a musical career at Winston-Salem StateUniversity, earning a degree in music. 

Like the soul singers of the past, her music combines elements of Gospel, R&B, and Jazz, but what keeps her unclassifiable is her personal technique of impelling the hearts of audiences with her voice.  In 2014, she sang her way into the hearts of America on ABC’s Rising Star.  

On the day that I spoke with Shameia about her music, I recall her personality being as warm as her vocals. Her smile illuminated the room and she was completely humble, yet confident, in her musical abilities.  Shortly into the conversation, I recognized her aspiration to capture the emotions of every audience that she stands in front of.  “I believe in my voice and I believe that I have something to offer that no one else does”, says Shameia.  Indeed, she has a special gift and it is considerably identifiable whether she is singing background vocals for legendary soul artists like Angie Stone, accompanying gospel singers like Vashawn Mitchell, or performing her original music. 

Who is ShameiaCrawford?  That’s not as easy to answer as one may think.  She’s not the simple answer but she is truly the correct answer.  I believe that she possesses more than just an impressive sound.  She is the determination of a sovereign sound, designed to free the soul of music.

Is Salsa Chest 2016’s Adele?

Time magazine recently described Adele as "the only pop star you can listen to with your grandma." Salsa Chest’s new video for “Big Picture” presents a bold challenge to that claim: Not only are they pop stars she’ll listen to, they’re pop stars she’ll wildly dance to as well. Rollicking synths, the crack of a drum machine snare, and Addison Addams simply smooth voice give your grandma the excuse she wanted to kick her slippers off and slide across the linoleum this New Year's Eve.…
