About Me |
|
| Peace. I am ButterSoulFly. I loooove to create. I am an encourager, creative writer, journalist, seamstress/designer(in the making), and... My favorite things = peace of mind and just doing my thing. But Her Soul Flies, my first spoken word release is truly a testimony. Because of its messages of esteem building, empowerment, love of self/ family/ God and everything that it stands for/ represents and in honor of all those who paved the way for this one- I am sufficient if it becomes my artistic legacy. Sincerely. ButterSoulFlyThis album features vocal stylings of the beautiful Aisha Johnnise Morrell (alto) and Azara Alexender of Soul Deep Productions (soprano). Warrior Dove Lover features Gerry Butterwick on acoustic guitar. Check him out below- he is a musician's musician. Like Cicely features Bilal " the cosmic gent" on trumpet & piano on hidden track. Love to Brother Virgil on that deep deep bass, and Karanji for bringing the bottom to Pretty Black (and everyone in my detailed liner notes lol) .Go to www.buttersoulfly.com for reviews and more.Be encouraged- Peace | |
