Stacie Orrico was born in Seattle of Italian parents. Only 12 years old when she signed her first label deal she eventually moved to Virgin Records before deciding to exit the music business for a while. She has released three albums in total and according to latest updates was working on a new one. When asked about her musical influences she replied :
"All of my influences are very soulful musicians – my favorite artist is Lauryn Hill, and I've always loved Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Ella Fitzgerald."
Today's featured track is taken from her Beautiful Awakenings (2006) album. Take Me Away is made for Modern Soul Room dance floors. A mid-tempo charmer that's really catchy. Give it a whirl.
As a bonus I'm providing two more links today. The first is a for I'm Not Missing You also from the Beautiful Awakenings album. The other is from the Live DVD of her tour in Japan showing her performing live and revealing what an awesome talent she is.
Watch her performing Stuck with a jazzy Soul flava. This is no fluffy R&B tonsil tickler. This is a full on Soul songstress. Fabulous voice.
For those of you who want to see more of this young lady live and have the time to spare why nit watch the full 1 hour 6 minute concert in Japan. Because it was recorded live she was definitely not lip sync-ing like so many do.
Told you she was talented...and then some.
The album is available from Amazon UK.
