Well guys it’s that time of year again, Christmas time. And if you’re anything like me you’re probably waiting to the last to start your Christmas shopping. Well, as always I do believe that music is the best gift to receive at Christmas. I don’t know maybe it’s the thought of turning on that special piece of music at holidays to get either get you in the spirit of the season or to help you cope through the season. Whichever way you prefer, I have something very special for you guys this week. Her name is Jaime Woods and she’s this weeks’ Women that Rock feature.
Now, I first discovered this talent listening to my trusted streaming music service Spotify. The track that was playing was entitled “Talk to Me”. The song is about a young woman passionately expressing to a love how they will be able to weather any storm that may arise as long as they communicate with one another.
You can definitely hear Jaime’s gospel roots in the presentation and delivery of this great track. Not, only is she an amazing songwriter but, I guess you can describe her sound to be similar to Tweet. Another awesome singer. You can check out this track and others on Jaime’s EP that was released summer of 2015.
Woods development of her craft can be contributed to her engagement with the gospel scene in Chicago. Where after she moved to the east coast playing in various clubs. She had the honor of either opening or performing duets with some of the most influential artists of modern time. Artists like Bilal, Emily King, Roy Hargrove and Lalah Hathaway just to name a few. I do believe that we’ll be hearing lots more from this artist. So, remember if you’re not sure what to give someone this season, don’t forget that a really good cd would make a great gift idea. As we embark on a new year let us not forget to support indie artist and their musical craft. Remember we can change what the mainstream media dubs as popular music.
