This Is Stevie's Soul

The Soul Music INdependent Artist Scene is explosive!
Here's brief overview of my 2 year discovery of it and just a few of the people that make it pop!
Shout out to DJ Frances Jaye & NeoSoulcafe.com for leading me to scene one song at a time...
And to my cousin Aaron K Robinson (rip) who'd been feeding me indie music for years aka Ledsi & Goapele but I didn't realize it was a movement.
Love Ya Much!

Erykah Badu

One friday nite early March, I received a call...well at least I think it was Friday nite... I was sleep early and missed calls and texts were flooding my phone...Something had to be going on... Finally I was awaken by the ringer...I'd been trying to catch up on sleep I had not been getting in my own comfortable bed...with all my running back and forth to NY and Philly & Dc my pillows were missing me.
I answered the phone which had oddly enough been laying right beside me...Whew I had to have been really tired to not have heard it all the other times.
"Stevie" the caller chirped "UH?' was my response. "Where you been?" "Sleep what's up?"
"Stevie I need you to wake up."
" Ok I'm awake whats up?"
Thats when the news of Erykah Badu inviting ChinahBlac to perform at her private NYc CD Release Party... I was like UH???!!!
W H O A! Yes Lawd Thank you for the blessings that flow in abundance. We were going to the party!!!
