One
of the leading soul singers of her time Maysa has grown to the queen
of hearts. Known as top vocalist of the British Jazz-Funk band
Incognito she regularly release her own solo projects. Maysa
(1995), All My Life (2000), Out Of The Blue
(2002), Smooth Sailing (2004), Sweet Classic Soul
(2006), Feel The Fire (2007), Metamorphosis
(2008), A Woman in Love (2010), Motions Of Love
(2011), Blue Velvet Soul (2013) and A Very Maysa
Christmas (2014) are her previous albums. Back 2 Love
is her newest project.
Maysa comments꞉ “The music represents who I am
as a woman and a human being who lives to love people. As a
professional singer I should be able to sing anything and my records
are just me trying to love everyone. And that’s why I am proud to be
able to go from Jazz to R&B to Pop, etc.”
The album already reveals with the first track
the new direction. Back 2 Love is
wrapped as a dance tune to appeal younger audience. Fortunately
Maysa still presents her unaltered natural voice as we love it.
Keep It Movin' grooves in R&B style featuring Stokley,
lead singer of the group Mint Condition. In the smooth jazz genre,
we meet him on recordings by Brian Culbertson, U-Nam or Boney James.
On Heavenly Voices Maysa returns to
the soulful and emotional style that has shaped her first CDs.
This gospel oriented phrasing still reflects her personality and
voice best. Miracle with its stamping beat is a further
offer for the dance floor. Smilin' has the lightness of
filigree tulle whereby the beat makes ground again.
Go Away Little Boy is inspired by
Marlena Shaw’s cover of the same name. With her own experience Maysa
brings much authenticity in her version. Tear It Up Tear It Down
shows a powerful appearance with a strong brass support. Given the
events in Baltimore Maysa was concerned to publish this song. The
admiration of a man turns out to be an earwig. Unforgettable!
On Last Chance For Love Maysa duets with
Phil Perry, Mr. Falsetto. Two extraordinary voices in perfect
harmony. The Radio Played Our Song sounds like an
inspiration by Annie Lennox. Maysa focuses on love in many songs so
too on Beautiful Symphony. Final song is a remix of the
title song.
Style change out of conviction or for other
reasons can be left open. It is risk and an opportunity. Her fans
will hopefully vote for Maysa's vocal qualities and
accompany
her steps positively. Back 2 Love is worth it.
