Well guys, it’s officially the beginning of a new season. I absolutely love summer. Here’s your chance to catch all the latest festivals and concerts of year. Just this past weekend, I’ve had the pleasure to catch the ATL “Soul Life Festival” hosted in the great city of Atlanta Georgia. It’s a two-day festival featuring some of the best Neo-soul artists in the game.
I had the pleasure of seeing a very talented female. Some of you may know her from the reality TV show “R&B Divas Atlanta”. I’m speaking of none other than “Syleena Johnson”. Now guys, I’ve been following this young ladies career since the very beginning.
Syleena is the daughter of legendary R&B singer Syl Johnson, so she’s no stranger to singing the rhythm and blues music. Syleena took to music very early idealizing such artists like Aretha; Chaka and Whitney to name a few.
Now, let’s talk bodies’ of works. Before they were the Chapters of her life. There was an album that she recorded with her legendary father entitled “This time together by father and daughter”. Then there was the album entitled “Love Hangover”. These albums were the precursors to the Chapters of her life that literally follow into her career. Syleena’s music embodies pure life lessons on being in love and all of loves hang ups. The richness and pure soulfulness in her voice gives the listener a sense of how traumatizing the pain she’s feeling being broken by her lover. From the very first song I’ve ever heard from this amazingly talent woman. “I’m your Woman”, is my favorite track from this artist. Written by R.Kelly. Syleena clearly delivers a very heartfelt plea for her man to treat her with some respect.
Syleena sung several of her hits at the festival. She also sung some cuts from her latest project entitled “Chapter 6 Couples Therapy”. The First single is entitled “Harmony” featuring Dave Hollister. Check it out here:
Let’s also mention that she also has a new book out entitled “The Weight is Over”. Coming to a bookstore near you. What’s great way to start off the summer season with the sound of music and a great book. Can’t wait to read it this one. So, if you guys are looking for nice summer album to groove to feel free and check this artist latest. And if you’re looking for a book to read on that much needed summer beach vacation, then why check out this one. Then, tell me what you think. Remember, it’s important to support your favorite indie artist and their craft. So guys get out this summer and check out the many summer festivals and concerts taking place across the nation.
