Powerhouse Voices in Genre's Other than R&B

Reminiscent of the powerful voices such as the late Teena Marie, Christina Aguilera,and Mariah Carey, these girls have it. But the soulfulness and passion in their voices may not be recognized by the R&B heads today because these women aren't just singing R&B or soul music; they're singing pop, they're singing soft rock, they're acting on children's television, or hailing from Europe-- If you like Adele and Kelly Clarkson's voices, you'll love these girls.
Read&Indulge as we discover some of the big, soulful voices coming from these young girls.

NEW MUSIC: TAMAR BRAXTON: LOVE & WAR.

Say what you want about Tamar Braxton: she may be over the top and dramatic, but the girl can SANG. 
Early this morning, Tamar released the first single to her album (expected to drop early 2013) called Love & War. No doubt inspired by the relationship with her and her husband, the big name in music (Producer, Writer, Manager of Lady Gaga) Vincent Herbert.
Tamar gives us her soprano and smooth runs on this mid-tempo track, written by Leshawn Daniels, who's written for a lot of the big names in the industry today (Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Brandy ...)
Although Tamar has been deemed the playful diva of both WEtv's Braxton Family Values and spin-off with her husband, Tamar and Vince, it seems that she's serious about her music.
What do you think? Can she get away from the tagline "Toni Braxton's little sister" and breakaway cleanly with her own musical career?
I personally think so. The girl's range is incredible. Kudos to you, Tamar! Reddlipstick Approved.

Not Convinced? Here are some other videos of Tamar singing:
         

  

                       
                                       

Interview W/ Elle Varner!

23 year old Gabrielle Varner, singer of "Refill" and "I Only Wanna Give It To You", graced the presence of my University last night for Homecoming! We were super excited to have her!

I had the pleasure of talking to Ms. Varner about her music, her possible upcoming single, being bullied, her relationship status and she even hit her Whistle Register for me! (The highest note on the piano-Mariah Carey does it all of the time).

And Ladies, you KNOW I had to ask her about her Natural Hair Care Regimen. What does she use on those curls?

ONE WEEK UPDATE: Sheena's Hair Emporium Virgin Indian Curly!

Hey Reddlipstick Readers!

So, I've had this hair installed for a couple of weeks (1 week exactly when I recorded the video.) and I'm really loving it! It's low maintenance, and the curl pattern is beautiful.

When I first got the hair installed, I got ALL 3 Bundles (16, 18, 20) put in, and I thought I looked wild. It looked like soo much hair on my head! So different than anything else I've had. But I've gotten used to it and I REALLY love it!

My only real problem with the hair is figuring out how to blend my natural hair into the curl pattern. I've tried everything: From Bantu Knots, to Flexi Rods, Two-Strand Twists, Cloth-Clip-Roller-Thingies.. nothing really works.

The only thing that kind of works is the crimping iron!
