The time for Alrica’s highly anticipated sophomore CD release (This Time Round-The Untold Stories) is finally here and she will be performing with a live band to celebrate. The party will be held at Harlem’s legendary Shrine World Music located at 2271 Adam Clayton Powell JR Blvd. NY, NY from 9:00pm to 11:00pm on August 21st, 2010. Admission for this event is free.
Alrica’s vocal style is a unique blend of rich soul and reggae fused with jazz and hip hop. Onstage, she is a truly breathtaking performer. Her debut CD, an EP entitled This Time Round generated excitement from fans and music connoisseurs worldwide. Audiences were impressed with her ability to transition smoothly from the soulful sound of tracks such as Just one Time and Journey for Love to more dance floor ready tracks such as Move and Ooh La La. In an interview with Liberating Style Magazine, Alrica stated, “I feel comfortable in both lanes, but I prefer singing the slower songs that really allow me to experiment lyrically and touch a certain place emotionally.”
Alrica is finally ready to fill in the gaps and share the stories that her fans had not been privy to in her debut release. Her sophomore release, This Time Round-The Untold Stories includes all of the best tracks from her debut album as well as seven new songs. Infidelity, broken hearts and economic suffering, only begin to scratch the surface of the subject matter Alrica shares with her audience. Music critics who have had the opportunity to preview the album are particularly impressed with the strong emotional connection Alrica continually exudes in her delivery.
The bill for Alrica’s CD release party on August 21st 2010 includes other great acts such as JR Dread, Shae Fiol and Jewish Reggae sensation, Benny Bwoy. JR Dread and Shae Fiol both took part in the creation of This Time Round-The Untold Stories and will be performing on their own as well as alongside Alrica in songs from the album.
