Today’s SistersTalk Radio guest was urban jazz sensation Kellylee Evans.
2007 Juno and Gemini Award nominated singer-songwriter Kellylee Evans is a unique voice in the urban-jazz world, and many of today’s top musicians have taken notice. With a smooth style that slides through jazz, soul, R & B, blues and world music rhythms, Kellylee’s calming sound speaks volumes; Rich, soothing, robust and energizing, And with a songwriting talent being compared to Elvis Costello, Aimee Mann and Ron Sexsmith, this eclectic artist ignites inspiration. From the sultry What About Me? to the bluesy I Don’t Think I Want To Know, to the reggae-flavored Let’s Call A Truce Tonight and sexy poetical Spanish vibe of Rapunzel, the album is an eclectic and focused effort, held together by Kellylee’s rich, expressive, effortless vocal range.
