Muse Discovered. . LAURIE LOVE

As a music lover. When you discover an artist and connect with their music. It’s special. It’s organic and personal. It makes you want to keep the discovery to yourself. Although you know,  should others make the same discovery, you will be forced to sharing your discovery with others.  So if you are one of the many who discovered Detroit artist LAURIE LOVE, prepare for the heartbreak of her blowup. The young  singer/ songwriter/ musician is poised to make a leap from organic obscurity to a destined place of  public adoration once the next issue of music is birthed from the artist who cites a lot of 90s era vocalists as inspirations.. “Brandy inspires me. She’s my fav vocalist. ” Says Love, ” As a little girl, Aaliyah made want to become an artist. I love Lauryn Hill, Whitney Houston, Anita Baker, Erykah Badu,  Neyo, and Miguel. Frank Ocean, inspires me to become a better songwriter.” According to the vocalist 

who started singing in church , and wrote her first song at 14. In the current landscape of the music scene, we have an onslaught of young R&B sistas making noise in the latter of the second decade of the new millennium..The likes of SZA, Ella Mai, H.E.R. Khelani and Jhene Aiko, have dropped game changing music not to mention more recent offerings from the newer class of Young R&B chicks like Dani Leigh,  Kiana Lede, and more have the market place loaded with not just quality music, but  very adequate all around artists who can create and deliver as well live as performers. The Era of the R&B Chicks is in full swing.  So it is perfect timing for the Singer who’s first project at age 19,  the 2015 Mixtape, ” Heavy Rotation” released independently  garnered her fans and a base that has been clamoring for more music from the former basketball enthusiast from Motown, who although is more than capable with her pengame, still recogniz s and respects those before her. In speaking on some of her favorite music, cites a Rhianna song,  as one she loves so much, she would have loved to be able to call hers., As she tells it, 

I wish I would have wrote and recorded “Yeah I said it” by Rihanna. That song fits my creative vibe so well. Every time I listen I wish I wrote it first lol…” But as of  209, LAURIE’s future as an artist got a serious lift and recognition in the form of her selection as one of the first recipients of streaming service TIDAL who lists Sean Carter or the artist/ mogul known as Jay Z as an owner. Opened up submissions for the Inaugural run of the #TIDALUnplugged grant for artists. A special added qualification was the grant was specifically designated for Detroit based artists. And after thousands of entries, LOVE would be chosen as one of it’s finalists. A blessing that is far from lost on the future Soul Sister.. “I  Felt grateful. It’s been trial and error and being blessed with that opportunity just reassured me that my path is my path and I’m suppose to be on this journey no matter how long it takes.”

Like most artists,LAURIE has endured many ups and downs in approaching a career in music. Its taken her what feels like eternity, but feels like ecstasy  says the songwriter who discusses her highs and lows in the industry. “I would say right now is my biggest moment as an artist. Having a platform as big as TIDAL support me is something major for me. The Lowest,  has been my moments of finding myself. Not having access to resources. Not being inspired because of personal things therefore hindering my creative process. I honestly don’t know what I’d be doing if not music lol. .  it’s my passion.”, says the creative Sagittarius. Who no doubt is ready to enter the next phase of her career. She has prepped herself for stardom by surrounding herself with people who are as passionate about their craft and position as she is. She is currently lining up producers and the like to approach her upcoming project as a part of the #TIDALUnplugged Grant as well as beyond. In an industry where individuality and the industry often fight each other every step of the way. LAURIE has  found a comfort zone in her approach to the industry . “My favorite thing about the industry is that it exist lol. The fact that we get to creatively express ourselves. I like that I can be inspired by the industry. Worst part is the shenanigans. The gimmicks that it includes. Sometimes its just too fake for me.” Laurie answers on her observation of things. 

A very bright future awaits the artist who is very much able and ready to attack and own her destiny without apology or a “Plan B”. Her plan is to be the artist that she is creating above all else..When asked if not music where does she see herself..”I’d probably be working on owning my own business of some sort so that I can travel the world freely. That’s all I wanna do at the end of the day. See the world. ” The free spirited Vegan and fitness fanatic who keeps herself in tune physically as well as musically for the long haul. ” I see myself having multiple albums out, touring, seeing different places, having my businesses outside of music that I brainstorm on successfully up and running. I see myself being a voice actor in animation and maybe even an actress in a show. The possibilities are endless.” And given the talent , drive and tireless ambition, We are in for a great ride with her. – Terry Martin for RnBinTheD.com
