Soul/Jazz Diva Maysa Leak has released a brand new CD, “A Woman In Love”, her fourth for the Shanachie Entertainment imprint. Once again, Maysa delivers the quality performance we have become accustomed to.

On “A Woman In Love”, Ms Leak returns to her roots as she brings her unique vocal styling to a few of her favorite Jazz standards, along side soulful original compositions. This diverse song list is the perfect vehicle for Maysa to display her artistic range.

The CD begins with the Latin flavored “Am I Wrong (For Lovin’ You)”, which immediately draws you in. That is followed by “Love Theory”, the radio friendly R&B duet that features Will Downing. The title track “A Woman In Love” is an engaging melodic danceable track, while “Honey Bee” has a thumpin’ mid-tempo infectious downbeat that caresses Maysa’s sensual vocal.

On the Jazz side, Ms Leak continues to impress with a funky, yet faithful rendition of Monk’s “Round Midnight”. She breathes new life into the classic ballads “Willow Weep For Me”, “When I Fall In Love”, and “What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life”.

Maysa also pays tribute to the late Michael Jackson, with a stirring version of “The Lady In My Life”.

“A Woman In Love”, another triumph for one of the original Underground Soul Divas.. Maysa
