Genre: classically
modern soul
From:
Philadelphia
Album:
"Fearless"
Rare is the young singer equally deft
at performance and composition, but Philadelphia native
Jazmine Sullivan is the exception that proves the rule. All
of 21 years old, Sullivan penned every one of the tracks
on "Fearless," her dazzling debut from J Records. Out Sept.
23, "Fearless" shows a songwriting range befitting its title;
tracks such as "My Foolish Heart," "Call Me Guilty," and the
Missy
Elliott-starring "Need U Bad" move across the modern
R&B spectrum with ease, and a kind of sonic wisdom that
leaves the ears a-tingle. |

From: Houston
Album: "Sol-Angel and
the Hadley St. Dreams"
Yes, Solange Knowles is the younger
sister of Beyonce, but the
last thing she's doing is coasting on the family name. Since
getting her start in 2001 as a guest singer on Destiny's Child's "8
Days of Christmas," Solange has more than proved her musical
bona fides. Her first long-player, 2003's "Solo Star,"
received wide acclaim for its R&B grooves, but her latest,
the just released "Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams," is an
ambitious offering that shows an impressive confidence. One
listen and it's clear: She's not walking in anyone's
shadows.
