I was driving around town a few weeks ago listening to my Ipod on shuffle. When suddenly, a track i'd downloaded a while ago for free came on. It was a track called "Cool My Heels" by Nikki Yanofsky, who like Justin Bieber, Is a 16 year old canadian singer but is more jazz but could easily sing some soul. I'd played the song before but hearing it this paticular time ready blew my away. It had followed Tammi Terrell's "Thats what boys are made for" in the shuffle, and Nikki Yanofsky [[whether she's aware of this or not) sounded to me as if she was channeling at least a swig of Tammi. I've since purchased the whole album and so far i'm pleased with my purchase.
The point I'm trying to make is that there are several talented singers making great music taking a back seat to people who people who keep putting out the same generic mediocre crap and making all the money. What's even more sad is that some of those people making mainstream music, are legit talented musicians and singers following the trends to make a dollar. In a sense, it's like taking center cut prime rib and deluding it with a1. Their talent goes hidden through a bunch of auto-tune and computerized tracks. Anyone know what i mean?
