It has not
been a Jazz, Pop, Contemporary artist that has stood out since Sade, Anita
Baker. Well, Douye` in my opinion is right up there. Michael Ealey the DJ of
Streetwise radio said to check her out. I’m listening to her music while I’m
writing this blog and I must say she has smooth and sultry sound. Douye` is Nigerian
born, lives in Los Angeles and is a real talent. She first started singing in
church at the age of seven. In her mid-teens she traveled to Europe to pursue
her growing musical dreams. Douye` came back to the USA where she studied voice
at the acclaimed Musicians Institute in Hollywood California. After graduating,
Douye performed in clubs throughout Los Angeles. I can’t believe I have never
heard of her before. This goes to show you that there are so many great artists
out there that have not been played on mainstream radio. Douye` debut album
“Journey” came out in 2008. Four years later she has a new album out called “Golden
Days”. The songs on the album “Golden
Days” and “Life Is Good” have me thinking about days when I’m kicked back on a
Sunday afternoon with my honey. Douye` is an artist that beautiful! With a lot
of sweetness! I’m a fan! Streetwise Radio is playing “Golden Days”. You can listen to Streetwise Radio on
MyGen365, Athena365, Live365 and ITunes.
