Ya Heard?: Nikki Ross Guest Spot With LaNorris McFadden & PROOF

A few months back, I added a BLAZING churchy track to the PunditPlayer– it was a track called “Changed” from a new group– LaNorris McFadden & P.R.O.O.F.

LaNorris McFadden & P.R.O.O.F.At the time, I was ALMOST going to post a different track by them, entitled ”Come To Me,” featuring Nikki Ross on the lead vocal.  I passed on it, but it’s been eating away at me ever since. :-)

So, I hit up LaNorris and asked if I could PRETTY PLEASE post the Nikki track.  He said “yes”… and we’re ALL made better because of it. LOL

Seriously, it’s a great choir track– like the kind you hear at a midnight musical when you’re JUST about to pass out from exhaustion, but some choir comes from outta NOWHERE and makes the evening worthwhile again.  Yeah… like that.

Click here to take a listen to both tracks (I’ve posted ‘em back-to-back) on the PunditPlayer.

And lemme know what you think!

Check 'Em Out: LaNorris McFadden & P.R.O.O.F.

Dunno if you’ve heard of LaNorris McFadden & P.R.O.O.F. yet, but I’m enjoying them VERRRY much right now.  I got their latest project Determination – Live, in the mail a couple of weeks ago and I decided it’s not fair to keep ‘em to myself any longer. ;-)

LaNorris McFadden & P.R.O.O.F.This ensemble has done a superb job of merging the flavor of the several choir sounds– you can hear a little James Hall & WAP or Ricky Dillard & New G, but there’s also the classic sound of Hezekiah Walker & LFC or O’Landa Draper & The Associates.  They’ve got some awesome lead vocalists on this 12-track project, and it never hurts that the incomparable Nikki Ross sings lead on a couple of tracks!

I’ve added their single, “Changed,” to the PunditPlayerListen to it and clear some space on that dance floor, cuz I promise if you’re not careful, you could break something ’round about 3:10 into the song.  And that’s BEFORE soloist Janice Robinson hands the mic to Nikki Ross to ad lib through the vamp.  Click here to check out that single.

And pay a visit to their MySpace page (click here) for a couple more clips and to connect with them.

Lemme know what you think!
