Muhsinah has released a free to download EP, named Gone, featuring six great neo-soul/electro influenced songs. Her voice is exactly that of a golden girl, whom got herself a Grammy nomination.
Pronounced Mu-se-na, singer, songwriter, arranger, composer, producer, and dreamer, lover, Muhsinah was nominated for a “Best Vocal Performance” Grammy award for her work with The Foreign Exchange, which is a big deal for this relatively unknown artist. Moog Music endorses Muhsinah; she always plays a voyager or a lil phatty (whatever that instrument may be) on stage, and is a member of Common’s band who she played for twice. She can sight read sheet music (which is a damn rarity in these days of modern musicianship!), write music notation and arrange for big band and/or orchestras yet she chooses to do beat driven music? AMAZING! Muhsinah is the real deal holly field!
But, in her spare time Muhsinah loves to watch children’s movies because they have the best scores, something I can relate to! Read books and sketch. She studied ballet at the ages between 3-8 and started playing piano at age 11 that’s 17 years ago. Muhsinah’s music could easily be on this year’s biggest blockbuster hit movie soundtrack as it is powerful, daring and deliberate, she has captivated and charmed tastemakers from around the world. From Washington, D.C, she is something to behold. Muhsinah takes you far away from your troubles with her music.
Truly. Unique.
