She has under her own name released three fantastic EPs “Sincerely Yours, Stacy Barthe” in 2011. She flirts sometimes with reggae – and it´s not over-the-top – and it works! When she slows things down and do a spoken word at the end of a couple of her songs. The quietness in the music is important to let her fantastic warm voice be the main ingredient in the songs.
I´m tempted to call her a female Drake because she, just like Drake on his “Thank Me Later” album strips down the melodies down to drums, percussion, sometimes a piano and/or a acoustic guitar – naked and organic sounds and full of air and allowing quietness to be a part of the music. A mixture of Sade, Rihanna (as when she sings on her slow jams), and Nneka maybe? Deep and lush and it sounds like she has sung all her life. What you hear is a voice so smooth and soulful. The first time you hear the voice of Stacy Barthe, close your eyes. To mention a few male artists she has even worked with Rick Ross, Akon and Sean “Diddy” Combs. She has written for all those and a bunch of others. If you know or/and love one or more of those artists, you´d probably have heard the songs of Stacy Barthe. Unless I ask you if you know Britney Spears, Rihanna, Kelly Rowland of Destiny’s Child, Kathy Perry, Cheryl Cole, Brandy and Miley Cyrus? I bet your answer is “Yes, I know those!” If I say Stacy Barthe – does the name say you something? I guess your answer – sadly – is “No” So if you wanna know about me, you come see me and ask about me.Īnd for all y’all that keep throwing that hate More than you ever learn in all of your lifetime, I do it for the women, I do it for my familyĪnd I do it for the love of the game and of music, They like to talk a lot of shit about me, you know what I’m saying?īut I’m just grateful, I don’t do it for them, Hey, you gonna learn today.You know, people tend to talk the mostĪbout things that they know the least about.
