Adriana Evans

Mmm. An album that speaks like a loved one s warm embrace here s a timeless collection from a seasoned vocalist and her savvy producer Dred Scott. Evans channels jazz on Morning Light, rock on the cover What It Is and pure soul music on her ode to song, I Hear Music. Hints of Afro-Cuban rhythms are at ease with a chorus of synthesizers matching her perfect pitch. Longtime collaborators Evans and Scott make songs that are delicious to stumble upon. --Tamara Warren - XLR8R Magazine

Who is Adriana Evans? Her self titled debut from the spring of 1997, alongside Erykah Badus, BADUIZM helped usher in what would later be dubbed the NEO-SOUL movement. Praised by the most discerning critics, it sold 75,000 plus units even with poor promotion and distribution.

No longer signed to a label, her second album, NOMADIC was previously only available at shows or on her website. It is a departure from her first album in that it draws its inspiration from many genres of music including samba, reggae, rock, hip-hop and jazz but all very soulfully composed. An extremely unique sound that defies description and can only be truly understood when you give it a listen.
