Carlitta Durand x iCarli (Video)

Leave a comment

I love discovering artists and so I came across Carlitta Durand with her visual for “iCarli” and I had to dig deeper.  Carlitta is a Minneapolis born and North Carolina grown R&B/jazz/hip-hop artist that has a passion for diversity. Her latest project “Nostalgic Nights” is a small yet, diverse and explosive insider to what Calitta Durand is capable of.  She is recently attending North Carolina Central University, where she is worked with artists like 9th Wonder and Little Brother.  I find it dope that she writes her own lyrics and tells a story in each song that anyone can relate to.  Her voice is very soulful yet jazzy and I will definitely be following her progress as an artist.

Check out the video for “iCarli” and tell me what you think.

I spot natural hair anywhere, even on the BET awards.  Esperanza Spalding was given a segment during the Prince tribute and it blew me away, not to mention her volumnous afro.  Esperanza Spalding is a bassist, vocalist, and composer with a very jazzy contemporay sound that shows pure talent and grace from her lips and fingertips.  I happen to find her voice one of the timeless most international sounds yet.  This aspiring artist grew up in Portland, Oregon where she became bilingual and enhanced her passion for music throughout the years.   After attending Berklee College of Music, Esperanza  released her first debut album in 2008 entitled “Esperanza”.  Look out for her, cause I know I am!

Check out her song “I adore You” talk about amazing, hope u like 🙂
