The quietness in the music is important to let her fantastic warm voice be the main ingredient in the songs.

I´m tempted to call her a female Drake because she, just like Drake on his “Thank Me Later” album strips down the melodies down to drums, percussion, sometimes a piano and/or a acoustic guitar – naked and organic sounds and full of air and allowing quietness to be a part of the music. A mixture of Sade, Rihanna (as when she sings on her slow jams), and Nneka maybe? Deep and lush and it sounds like she has sung all her life. What you hear is a voice so smooth and soulful. The first time you hear the voice of Stacy Barthe, close your eyes.

To mention a few male artists she has even worked with Rick Ross, Akon and Sean “Diddy” Combs. She has written for all those and a bunch of others. If you know or/and love one or more of those artists, you´d probably have heard the songs of Stacy Barthe. Unless I ask you if you know Britney Spears, Rihanna, Kelly Rowland of Destiny’s Child, Kathy Perry, Cheryl Cole, Brandy and Miley Cyrus? I bet your answer is “Yes, I know those!” If I say Stacy Barthe – does the name say you something? I guess your answer – sadly – is “No” The album by the way is said to follow the similar sound as the former album “Born And Raised”!įollow John Mayer on Facebook here – and on Twitter here The album “Paradise Valley” will be released in september in Europe and August in the US Now thats two good reasons to even look more forward to the forthcoming John Mayer album “Paradise Valley”. The pop starlet Katy Perry is visiting sixth track “Who You Love”Īnd second duet partner, soul artist, Frank Ocean guests on song 8th, a track called “Wildfire”. This time he features two very different artists – both great vocalists in their genre – so I´ll look forward to hear what they both come up with, since none of them are normally categorized under the singer-songwriter/americana/blue-eyed soul sound John Mayer has made his trademark sound. He has previously had duet partners like former girlfriend Taylor Swift (actually one line) in the song “Half Of My Heart” from “Battle Studdies” album, David Crosby and Grahamn Nash on “Queen of California” and “Born and Raised” (actually backing vocals) from the album with the same name as the latter. What´s making his forthcoming album “Paradise Valley” even more interesting is his duet partners this time. A brand new John Mayer record is just around the corner, and it´s called “Paradise Valley”.
