A great start to the week: today’s song is High by singer/songwriter RACHEL MARIE.
Singing/song-writing and performing are lifelong ambitions for the 22 year old from Washington DC . Known as “LM” or “Lilmaria”, RACHEL MARIE started out singing with her family at church and performed in art grade schools.
In 2012, the Jacksonville music and business graduate released a sensual R&B/neo soul number Wanna Feel It (ft. MAXXX FLAIR). So there you have it – have a listen to High. This track definitely deserves a place on the song of the day hot spot, as it features that old school R&B/neo soul groove with Rachel’s effortlessly gliding vocals.
If this track puts you on a high, then check out her other effort, Wanna Feel It on Bandcamp.
R&B balladeer MALYNDA HALE has officially released the video to her single Flashback. The single was recorded for the independent film, Oranges (by CradeMade Entertainment).

Hands up if you really miss that real old school R&B? Come on, raise does hands right now – I know there are thousands of you out there (me Included!). Well I have a real treat for you: let me introduce to you D.SCALES and his latest EP L.O.V.E (short for Language Of Various Emotions).
Released last month, this seven-track album featured some seriously slick after hours productions in which the multi-talented artist from Alabama perfectly delivers heart-melting lyrics in that coca-rich classic soulful vocals. Beautiful, Fallin’ In Love and Vain are an absolute must listen for all you R&B heads, as they are strictly for the bedroom department (if you know what I mean!?!). After listening to L.O.V.E, D.SCALES puts me in the mind of a young BRIAN MCKNIGHT.
This is a little short for a review on NEW LEASE MUSIC, but with some EPs, the music speaks for itself – and this is one of them. So before you log off, listen to one of the tracks from the album, Vain. #Stunning!
L.O.V.E is available for purchase on iTunes.
