Soul diva YAHZARAH is back and in full effect with an album that I feel will cement her finally in the hearts and minds of soul music fans if she hasn’t achieved this already. Real name DANA WILLIAMS was a back up singer for ERYKAH BADU before going on to take up the name YAHZARAH and hitting the world with her first album HERE ME & second BLACKSTAR. A classically trained vocalist, YahZarah is also noted for her ability to sing in the WHISTLE TONE REGISTER. This distinct vocal style sets her apart from other divas doing there thing at present. Her influences are the likes of CHAKA KHAN, MINNIE RIPPERTON, and GEORGE CLINTON &TINA TURNER to name a few. She has emerged using the name PURPLE ST JAMES entitled THE PRELUDE this lady has a style that wont be duplicated I would say they may come off looking very stupid trying to do so my hope is that more people will start getting into her funky thing . This set kicks off with the stomping song FOUR ALARM FIRE and straight away we know this going to be good she has that parliament George Clinton Bootsy Collins funk groove nail to the ground, REAL GOOD slows things a bit with a midterm groove but its jus so funky and soulful by now my feet and head are just feelin the vibe. SHOOK is another great song with a haunting melody that different U TURN ME ON kicks things up bit so if you have lost interest she brings you back with this KILLER TRACK Ooh BABY U is my favourite track with sounds of the 70,s and Barry white groove this song I just love. The remaining songs continue to surprise COME TO ME has that funky laid back jazz tinge which is simply divine .Finishing off with NATURAL & TIRED OF WATCHING (LOVE AND SUNSHINE).This album will not disappoint at all and should be bought right away if you have a true soulful jazzy bone in your body. buy
