TRAEDONYA “Family Affair”, “Another Lie”
New York singer Traedonya is no stranger to the music scene, having recorded since age 13 with some major label success in the 90’s with her band Sample This. She’s been recording solo since 2003, and her bold, smooth and sophisticated R&B provides a welcome alternative to what songs in that genre move on to pop radio these days. There’s heavy jazz influence here which certainly recalls how Mavis Staples, Chaka Khan, and other 70’s R&B masters incorporated it into their songs. Traedonya transforms Sly & The Family Stone’s 1971 #1 “Family Affair” from a fun and funky song with a message, into a classy, warm and welcoming update that gives off that same strong message of unity. “Another Lie” is an even better showcase for the singer’s attractive and scorching voice that lends itself to biting lyrics amid an old-style smoky jazz-club kind of setting. Watch for Traedonya’s EP High Fructose Corn Syrup and listen to the songs above and below.
