Muhsinah


Ok so I'm a little upset with myself for not hearing about this young lady much sooner, but better late than never. After listening to her music for about 5 minutes, I literally fell in love with Muhsinah's music. I became infactuated and absolutely had to find out more.

Stats:
-DC native
- 24 years old
- classically trained in piano
- has 6 releases over a span of 3 years (many of them digital only)


Her current release, Oscillations: Sine is available via iTunes and it's AMAZING!! By amazing I mean new, fresh, innovative, not Beyonce' and/or other industry natives (no offense ;-0) Check out her myspace.com/muhsinah page for songs from her upcoming album Oscillations: Triangle to be released in April.


Be sure to check Muhsinah performing live with Teedra Moses April 2 at Club Liv in Washington, DC.

Sumthin' Nu: Sophie Delila


Paris born Sophie Delila has been stirring up the music scene in the streets of London for quite sometime now. Trained in piano at the tender age of 5, Sophie travelled to the US to study music at Berklee College of Music in Boston, but later decided to move to NYC. The next day, Sophie landed a job at a recording studio, later allowing her to sing background for various underground soul artists. Soon after, she decided to record her own material.


Delila now resides in London and continues to work on her solo career, including her recently released "Hooked" album, which is not currently available in the US.





Be sure to check out more of Sophie Delila's music at www.myspace.com/sophiedelilamusic. My personal favorite is the title track "Hooked".
