It’s refreshing when you get a chance to hear new artist with that classic soul of the 80s 90s era. This particular artist, from Pensacola, Florida ( by way of Stockton California ), has a way of capturing the hearts of her fans through her stunning voice. Her name is LeGree Shine.
LeGree’s music ear came from her legendary Ingram family, watching her uncles Henry Ingram, James Ingram and Phillip Ingram one of the original members of Switch. Music has been in their blood for decades, and with LeGree, strong, yet soulful, singing style, the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Musical influences are big part of what R&B music has become today. 4°, loving songs from Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Deborah Cox, Mariah Carey, and others is when R&B music really had something to say. There are also great gospel influences, like Yolanda Adams, and the Winans, where different elements of her vocal style like harmonizing came from.
In her first, initial music installment, the new single titled “He”s For The Streets”, (produced by Local Astronauts) is a testament to all the women who had the bear the realization of their mate, not living up to real relationship standards. She expresses in her own words, I was thinking about a liar! Once that hit the lyrics just came flowing out. I love a good plot twist so having her acknowledge her role in her own demise was necessary. I wanted her to talk to him so he could see how, this is his pattern, all while knowing his selfish and doesn’t care. He won’t change, they never do.
There is a new age of women in the music industry, who act as a voice of the people who won’t stand for mediocrity and slacking in in any way. As the greats would say, put up, or shut up, and LeGree Shine does not disappoint.
