Kid Felix Music Video for “I am a River”
The vocals of “I Am the River” immediately draw you into the song and keeps you there. The beginning isn’t very busy and I appreciate the simplicity. Even after the drop the instrumentals complimented the vocals, rather than overpowering them. I found myself putting the song on repeat and really feeling the song. Everything in the song had a purpose and I could hear the truth of the song from how it was done.
Jessica Childress Hits the Scene
Jessica Childress
Don’t Forget My Name
4 February 2014
I love the smooth quality of Jessica’s music. The music gives off a smooth jazz feel that I could never get tired of. Jessica herself can definitely sing. She’s got a lower range that she can sing to no end. She’s unique in her own way and doesn’t sound to gruff and scratchy. I can easily see her performing in an after hours club with smoke in the air. I’ll definitely come back to her music and you should to if you have a soft spot for jazz.
