Description
Maysa is one of the finest soul/jazz vocalists of the past 15, with a multi-genre appeal to fans of jazz, R&B and dance music. She has made an impact as the featured vocalist with groove/dance ensemble Incognito and Stevie Wonder's Wonderlove as well as on her own solo albums, the last of which was Shanachie's highly successful and critically acclaimed 2006 release, 'Sweet Classic Soul'.
FEEL THE FIRE finds Maysa delivering moving interpretations of her favourite soul songs which have been inspirational to her. The results are her finest work as a vocalist to date as she makes each one of these well-known classics fresh and exciting. The album features such instantly familiar, well-loved songs as the Bill Withers classic "Ain't No Sunshine", Evelyn 'Champagne' King's club smash "I'm In Love" and the title tune, originally made famous by Peabo Bryson. Maysa also visits today's classics as she brings new sophistication to the Jamie Foxx/Mary J. Blige hit "Love Changes".
Produced by the Grammy-nominated producer Chris "Big Dog" Davis (producer of recent successes by Will Downing and Najee) and featuring top saxophonist Kim Waters, FEEL THE FIRE brings the perfect blend of jazzy sophistication, sensual atmosphere and soul to fans of R&B and Smooth Jazz alike.
