Simone
Read More About Her!:
Purple St. James is an artist who invokes memories of the soul greats of the past. Funky, beautiful and passionate, her sound pushes the envelope at times, while being subtly sexy and familiar at other times.
In her former life, you may have known her as a shooting black star named YahZarah, where you’ve witnessed her performing with Soul legends like Stevie Wonder, Anita Baker and Dave Brubek; or you may have been exposed to her singing alongside some of her contemporaries including Floetry, Musiq Soul Child, Kem, Donnie, Amel Larrieux, Goapele, Talib Kweli, Rahsaan Paterson, Raheem Davaughn, Chaka Kahn, Bilal Oliver, The Roots, Little Brother and the list goes on and on.
A one-time background singer for one of the founders of the neo-soul movement, Erykah Badu, YahZarah released two critically acclaimed musical ventures to date: “Hear Me” (released on the Keo Music label) and “Black Star” (released on the Three Keys label).
Set to release her third project “Yahzarah: Introducing Purple St. James”, Purple St. James has created a unique mold that cannot be replicated. She is one of a kind. She is the confluence of that which is both classic and cutting edge. Hearing Purple St. James elevate from a soul diva to a funk shaman causes your ears and soul to be inundated with a sound that’s part Shirley Caesar and part Sly Stone, with a touch of the Minnie Ripperton. Prepare to be pulled in, and to become hooked on Ms. Purple St. James.
