Adriana Evans: Adriana Evans (1997). A Lost Treasure Through Time.

<p>B. Cox reviews R&amp;B singer <strong>Adriana Evans</strong> self-titled debut album <em>Adriana Evans </em>as it turns 25. The daughter of jazz singer Mary Stallings, Evans emerged in the mid-90s featuring on her future collaborator and producer (and also future husband) Jonathan &#39;Dred&#39; Scott&#39;s 1994 album <em>Breakin&#39; Combs</em>. After starting with Capitol Records when she started recording her debut, she landed on hip-hop powerhouse label Loud Records to finish and release her album. Working with Scott and musician and arranger Rastine Calhoun III, the album featured 12 tracks of power packed music; featuring a blend of jazz and classic soul music with contemporary R&amp;B and hip-hop serving as the soundtrack to her sweet yet powerful vocals. The album featured two singles: &#34;Seeing Is Believing&#34; and &#34;Love Is All Around&#34; which both charted on the Billboard R&amp;B charts.</p><p>Unfortunatey, due what seems to be a lack of substansial promotion and marketing from the label and a release that was timed during a explosively successful year in the R&amp;B game, her debut went largely unnoticed from the masses, aside from a group of dedicated fans who praised the album&#39;s content her effortless vocal abilities. After taking a hiatus from the music industry following her debut, she emerged seven years later after a sabbatical in Brazil and released four more albums after fading from the public eye after 2012.</p><p>In her absence in the public eye, her debut album has attracted a cult following in the years gone by. Fans continue to praise the album and even a quarter of century later, it is still being discovered by fans every day. Due to the album not being available on streaming services, physical copies are a commodity and widely sought after; making the album one of the rarest finds on the secondary market.</p><p><strong><u>Visit The Vault Classic Music Reviews Online</u></strong></p><p><a href="http://www.vaultclassicpod.com/" rel="nofollow">www.vaultclassicpod.com</a></p>
