“I loved being a part of bringing joy and solace to people when I sang,” said  Oleta Adams,  platinum-selling recording artist and four-time Grammy nominee. “It made me feel that I had something significant to contribute to the world, and that became the main reason for making it my career.”In 1985, while performing at the Peppercorn Duck Club in the Hyatt Hotel in Kansas City, Oleta Adams's powerful vocals caught the attention of Ian Stanley, the keyboardist for Tears for Fears. The band asked her to record and tour with them – launching her global career. “Roy Orzibal, Tears For Fears cofounder, had written a song entitled, "Woman In Chains" and he asked me to bring that same emotion to his song," she said. 
The work Oleta Adams did on their record led to her being signed to the band's same recording company, Polygram-Fontana.“"It gave me integrity and a real boost to my own career," she added.
This jumpstart to her career led to her performing with legends like Phil Collins, Michael Bolton, and Luther Vandross.
I remember when she opened for Luther Vandross. She was down-to-earth, very approachable and kind. Sitting behind a grand piano, she memorized audiences with warm, rich vocals. Her debut album, "Circle of Love," was like nothing else at the time, and it took the musical world by storm.  Oleta Adams' deep, clear voice in her breathy rendition of Brenda Russell's "Get Here" is a torchy masterpiece. It became one of the 90's great love ballads.  The song became an unofficial anthem of the 1991 Gulf War.
Celebrating 45 years in the music industry and having released nine albums, including secular, gospel, and Christmas, Oleta’s musical odyssey continues to garner her legions of fans worldwide.Variety wrote, “Oleta Adams is a singer of immense talent… she infuses the songs with a drama and sensitivity that leaves you limp, and hungering for more.”

Often the soundtracks of our lives play music or songs of occurrences and lessons that strike a chord in our mental, emotional, or spiritual state. Whether we are…

Everything I Know About Love (Deluxe Edition) - Laufey, 2022
🌟 5/5 Probably one of if not my favorite release from last year. Laufey does an impeccable job bringing jazz and easy listening to the modern young listener. Her influence from the likes of Chet Baker (one of my faves) is very apparent on this album, right down to a song being named “Just Like Chet.” Cannot recommend her enough, and very excited to see her in concert later this year. Standout track: “Fragile”
Dusty - Dusty Springfield, 1964
🌟 3.25/5 Another day, another new (to me) Dusty album! Beautiful blue eyed soul once again. Very easy to see how she became such a legend with a voice like this. Standout track: “Can I Get a Witness?”
The Sensual World - Kate Bush, 1989
🌟 3.25/5 Slowly been working my way through Bush’s discography as well. Though not my favorite album of hers, I have found myself coming back to it for relistens over the last couple months. She never really misses though, does she? Standout track: “Rocket’s Tail”
Frenesí - Linda Ronstadt, 1992
🌟 4.75/5 I had this album on a pretty steady loop in May. Big fan of Linda of course, and love the energy, romance, and power she poured into this album. Definitely a volume-up-windows-open-singing-or-dancing-along energy. Standout track: “Piel Canela”
Circle of One - Oleta Adams, 1990
🌟 4/5 Another relisten today. Just realizing these were all relistens today other than Dusty. Oleta Adams has such a rich voice that pulls me in, and in equal parts, it soothes and wounds me. Something about certain tracks just make me yearn like no one else can make me. Standout track: “Get Here” (of course)
