Stacye Branche - Evolution to Living in Truth [CD]

Capitalizing on her silky soprano, a three octaves diapason, Branché builds on the "Alternative Soul" hybrid -- a fusion of rhythm and blues, pop and jazz --- illustrated on her 2001 album "I Believe," and illuminated in 2004, on the follow-up "For the Man I Love', and now on her third studio CD ' The Evolution To Living In Truth'. The lush melodies and production on "Truth" were guided by Branché's classically-trained voice and fully evolved during live sessions with some of the most highly-sought after musicians, including Rob Bacon on guitar, jazz bassist Alex Al, Keyboardist Brandon Coleman, Drummer Cory Mason and noted percussionist Timbali Cornwell. Further proving her melodic prowess, Branché also introduces a distinctive meld on the track "I Was Thinkin' Maybe," a collaboration with music producer DJ Khalil of the hip-hop duo Self Scientific. "This album embodies the time I've spent growing as a person, as a writer and now producer," said Stacye. "The tracks are a kaleidoscope, offering my fans a true sense of myself, of my evolution."
