Maysa Leak makes music for your soul.  She just released a new double album, “Music For Your Soul!”  If you are not familiar with Maysa, she is a GRAMMY nominated, and Soul Train Award winning recording artist from Baltimore, MD.  She’s been in the music business for 32 years starting as a vocalist for the Acid Jazz band Incognito, to a solo artist (including collaborations with everyone from Stevie Wonder, Angela Bofill, Will Downing, Jonathan Butler, and Phil Perry to name a few.

Maysa is a purist when it comes to taking someone else’s song and “making it her own.”  For my money, NOBODY “covers” a song better than Maysa. She’s recorded over 50 songs by other artists.  You don’t cover that many songs if you can’t sing that song, make it better–or both. 

Check out my exclusive interview with the incomparable Maysa.

This is the first music video from “Music For Your Soul,” slated for release in early 2023.

This one of my favorite “Maysa Covers,” sung live.  “Can We Talk” written by Daryl Simmons and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds.  The original version was recorded by Tevin Campbell.
