DERRYALE BARNES
(pronounced "der-rell")

With velvet vocals, emotive lyrics and organic melodies, singer/songwriter Derryale Barnes creates a soulful collage. Picture a lush landscape where retro rhythm and blue skies meet rolling contemporary jazz hills, sparsely dotted with gospel-like weeping willows. Gentle winds come through bringing alternating hints of Des'ree and Amel Larrieux. In the distance, you may even hear the essence of rare songbirds Anita Baker and Sade. This is the backdrop for the narratives of love, self-discovery and personal growth on Derryale's forthcoming debut release, Where Do You Wanna Go?, on the www.ASHArecords.com label.

The album features all original compositions crafted by this insightful songwriter. The inspirational title track, which sizzles with classic R&B flavor, urges "Now's always a good time to be what you would've been." Throughout the album, Derryale conveys a sense of hope, faith and optimism. "I try to write songs that will help people move forward," she says. The first single"Makes Me Wonder" is an edgy track with strong statements about the turbulent time we're live in.

FYI:
Raised in East Harlem. Grew up singing in the church choir. Been writing songs since high school. Musical influences include Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Anita Baker, and Teena Marie.
