I’m always on the hunt for refreshing new talent, and anyone that knows me knows, I love my true R&B music. Well, I was surfing several new music websites and stumbled on what I call a hidden gem. Her name is “Ginette Claudette”. This Uptown New Yorker is a singer/songwriter that was born to sing. Given the same name as her mother, which by the way is a Latin sensation, with a successful career in the Dominican Republic. At an early age Ginette discovered that she too shared a strong passion for music and this also became a great way for her to deal with life’s obstacles through song.
In 2010, Ginette inked a deal with “Universal Motown Records”. After performing a cover of Halo that was later uploaded to Youtube, this allowed the amazing artist to be around some great company, artist such as “Rico Love”, “Usher”, “Beyonce”, “Babyface” and many, many, more. But after an organizational re-structuring, she parted ways with Motown. This prompted the artist to start her independent mark in the industry and in 2012 she launched her EP entitled “Everything’s Coming up Roses”. In part, this helped the new talent create her own unique sound which includes classic R&B along with strong pop flavors. If I had to describe Ginette’s sound, I would have to say it’s like a fusion of “Brandy” meets “Christina”.
Ginette’s currently gearing up for her debut Album release entitled “Tainted Emotions”. The first Single for the Album is entitled “Better Love” which features “Rico Love”. This is one of my favorites on the Album, Ginette’s soulful, sometimes gritty, vocals pair greatly with the hard hitting beats on this track. If you guys are looking for a nice spring soundtrack then this is it. But don’t just take my word for it, you owe it to yourselves to experience this gifted artist. So, head over to Itunes to get your copy. Until next time, remember to support your favorite Indie Artist and their craft.
