Thank You Genice Phillips, DC Music Examiner!

Hello everyone,

I would like to thank Genice Phillips, writer for the DC Music Examiner for her beautiful thoughts about "A Teardrop Of Sun".

Please read!

The music culture of the tri-state area, a.k.a the DMV - Washington D.C, Maryland, and Virginia - has bred numerous musical artists, becoming a definitive region for a music utopia. Hip-hop, jazz, alternative rock, reggae, and more genres have found its way into the boom of DMV culture and life.

With the start of a new year, most music mags have already listed their Top 10 artists that are going to be a catalyst in the music industry. But since becoming a huge fan of a few artists around the area, I have my own list and shortened it to a Top 6. Each artist is up for the Best New Artist Wammy at the Washington Area Music Awards - D.C.'s own music awards show, equivalent to the coveted Grammy Awards.

Jazz vocalist L'Tanya Mari swings with sweet vocals and bright melodies on her latest 2009 album, "A Teardrop of Sun." Sensational grooves and rhythms capture the smooth, yet vulnerable tones of Mari's voice. One of the most special parts of her music is her accompanying jazz musicians, creating plush sounds so vivid they can fulfill a beautiful, romantic evening.

Check out these tracks: I Got a Right to Sing the Blues, This Is New, You Go To My Head.
-DC Music Examiner, Genice Phillips
