Synopsis

Product Description
From Miss Black USA to R&B/Soul Recording Artist Smooth moves and hip hop grooves marks Ezina's resurgence onto the airwaves and music scene. Ezina, the Lead singer for the band Lexxis is a Detroit native and New York City resident that is creating her own vibe among today's hottest female performers and recording artists. A classically trained vocalist, Ezina delivers a voice with depth and power to transform any selection she performs to the next level. Continuing the family legacy, the niece of rhythm and blues great Bobby Womack is a prolific songwriter and storyteller, writing songs that you can feel in your heart and see with your minds eye. Following in the footsteps of Detroit Diva's Anita, Diana and Aretha, Ezina's gospel-opera styled vocals and dynamic range parlay her collections into a mix of sensual, soul-filled vocals and lyrics that reach the heart and mind. "I feel that in order to be true to my heart and art, the music must be real-about things that people can truly relate to. Life happens to all of us. As an artist, I must be responsible for the messages that I broadcast across the airwaves. Therefore, the music must be genuine." Whether she is singing about a friendship gone bad, "No Friend of Mine", or trying to persuade a lover, "You're not hearing me", Ezina consistently produces real music for the soul. These feelings are at the heart of her ability to interact emotionally with her audience, enabling them to experience a performance honed by each stage of her varied music career. Determined to be known as more than just a pretty face, this former Miss Black USA has toured the country promoting her debut cd entitled "Tempted" as well as her debut collection of poetry entitled "A Homegirl Returns to the Ghetto." Ezina has performed throughout the country clients include: The Jenny Jones Show; The Ann Arbor Art Fair; Celebrate State Street; Taste of Chicago; Ravinia Festival; Iowa State University; University of Michigan; Coastal Carolina University; Kentucky State University; Kettering University; Hurley Medical Center; Genesee Hospital; United Negro College Fund; Henry Ford Medical Center; IBM; Paisley Lounge, NYC; Rosies, NYC,Lola's NYC, The Triad Lounge, NYC; The Soul Cafe, NYC; Slades Nightclub, MA; Johnny D's, MA;The Como Inn, Borders Books and Music, Barnes & Noble and numerous other Universities, Festivals, Coffee shops, nightclubs and lounges.

CD Reviews

Powerful Debut
Derrick Gibson | Miami, FL United States | 01/21/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an amazingly diverse collection of songs and all of them delivered with a richness of sound one does not here often anymore. Whether it is a Donna Summer cover of "Bad Girls" or one of the many original songs on this album, the voice of a new soul-songstress is heralded with every note. I love you Ezina and I cannot wait for your next release."
