Everyone knows I love me some Jazz and R&B. A few years ago (2010) I found myself blasting me some Vivian Green via YouTube ( to the song "Caught Up") while in my home in VA and I came across a sister with some amazing vocals! I continued to listen, had no idea who she was as Vivian Green went on to introduce her in the next video I watched at a live concert. I made it my business to then become not only a girl who does my research, but now a fan. I then proceeded to while visiting my sister in Philly head down to a concert. Yes, you could say I was a bit obsessed. But even more so, I was amazed. Laurin Talese has a way with engaging with her audience. Something I must say is a delight if you have a chance to be in the presence. Her voice reminds me of the true elegance and essence of jazz. It's as if there were a rebirth of all the greats put into one.
She's an Ohio native but definitely has the City of Brotherly/Sisterly Love in her heart! I know this girl had to of grown up singing in the church choir and I wanted to high-five Vivian Green for putting her on two of my most favorite albums to this day! Most people think of music as a hobby, after listening to her and watching her you can tell this is a lifestyle and her heart beating choice. And unlike most artist I meet, she is as genuine and humble to her fans as they come!
