Beckah Shae: Butterfly

So I know it's been a while, but can I just say I think I've found something good! So the latest cd I've come across has been Butterfly by Beckah Shae. This cd has a good mixture of soulful/hip-hop beats, and a girl with a voice that won't quit. When she walked out on stage and started to speak, I never thought this wonderfully hyper, very pregnant caucasian beauty would sing these soulful hits like I've never heard anyone sing them. She has something that's fundamental to singing anything let alone soul music: She knows her range!!! All of her songs are written for her voice. None of them, I mean none of them, make her sound like she's screaming or struggling to hit the notes. It flows so smoothly. You could put her cd in your cd player and just let it play...for the most part. I have to admit I do skip the message from her mother and the last two tracks. It's sweet the first time you hear it, but it doesn't merit hearing everytime you put the cd in. If you want a fave song I have to say it's Wisdom. Noone has ever made Wisdom sound so cool to me before. If you can make Wisdom sound cool, you're alright in my book!

I give this cd 4 out of 5 stars: ****!

    I bought this CD and still have yet to hear it. Kharon is thoroughly enjoying it though.

    Glad to see you're back!
