I don’t know if it started with my parents always playing Earth Wind and Fire albums, or the fact that my mom was in the choir, and I followed in her footsteps… Maybe it was because I wanted to be a singerstar, like Whitney Houston. Whatever the case, I LOVE great music, great lyrics, great vocals, and great composition! There are a few independent artists that I absolutely love, and this young lady is definitely doing her thing! This was the first time that I was actually able to see Leah Smith in concert live, but she definitely was consistent at showing off her fluid vocal talent! I cannot wait to start hearing her music on the radio because she actually sings about life. You know how a lot of the mainstream stuff out there is either about “I’m in love” or “I am heart-broken” as if there is nothing more to life than the ups and downs of relationships? Well, this young lady sings about other aspects of life, like JOY – you know the kind that the world didn’t give and the world can’t take away! Then she sings about the need to grow up and then moving forward. Y’all, support this talented artist! Her EP is available on iTunes, and you won’t be disappointed! It is so refreshing to see that there are still artists out there with content and standards and true talent! I have included pictures below I took from her concert yesterday in Silver Springs, MD.
