Andrea Love
Chicago
Known as a featured artist on dozens of European House and Dance music hits, including “Shined On Me” with the Praise Cats, and also for her great ability as a supporting and backing vocalist, Andrea (whose real name is Andrea LaTina-Finley Love) is moving from the back-ground and taking her rightful place front and center with this debut solo EP which allows her to show off a smoother, more sensual side, stepping into the Soul/R&B and Acid Jazz genres.
Her new single “Twisted” from The Journey Vol. I: Fearless is already receiving rave reviews, and when speaking of the upcoming release, Andrea says, “The Journey Vol. I: Fearless is definitely for the adult contemporary listener who feels isolated when it comes to music – it’s real music. Live music. Music with a message. I’ve co-written all of the songs, and they’re based largely on my own personal experiences and the experiences of those close to me, so I’m definitely keeping it honest. It speaks about what people are feeling in life and love, from the good to the bad to the crazy – and how eventually it’s all going to be alright, if faith and pure, unconditional love are present.”
Many have used words such as soulful, rich and sultry to describe Andrea’s voice. In it, you can hear the influence of Gospel, Jazz, Soul and Funk – and with a vocal range of over 5 octaves, she is undeniably a musical force to be reckoned with.
Her amazing ability to engage and capture you from the first note has afforded her the opportunity to work with some of music’s hottest producers and artists including George Duke, Michael Manson, Chante Moore, Ledisi, Dianne Reeves, Terri Lyne Carrington, Nona Hendryx, Lalah Hathaway, Esperanza Spalding, Darius Brooks, Frank McComb, Oleta Adams, and Terisa Griffin. Griffin, who Andrea says has been more of a musical mentor, gave her the opportunity to perform for Chaka Khan in a special musical tribute in Chicago, in which Andrea describes the experience as “A true confirmation of my career. After singing in front of Chaka and having a room full of serious Chaka fans embrace me, there’s nothing else for me to really fear musically!” she laughs.
More new music coming soon. Stay tuned!
