Algebra

A brief listen to the debut record from Algebra, the latest protégé of former Motown CEO Kedar Massenburg, reveals a singer/songwriter with wisdom far beyond her 23 years. "Purpose" is an apt title for the debut from an old soul who's making some beautiful new soul music.

Algebra hails from Atlanta, the city that continues to churn out hugely talented and original artists. Prior to hooking up with Kedar Massenburg, Algebra taught herself to play guitar, made the rounds at open mics around Atlanta, and sang backgrounds for artists like Bilal and Monica.

Algebra's debut is the first release on Massenburg's indie label, Kedar Entertainment Group. "Purpose" contains songs which cover the standard topics of love and heartbreak, but Algebra's interpretation of the subjects, paired with her silky smooth vocals is what separates her from the current slew of female soul singers. There's also an overriding message on the record of self-acceptance and the importance of presenting yourself to the world unapologetically. This message comes through loud and clear on "Nothing to Prove" as Algebra tells us politely, yet confidently just who and how she is. Other notable tracks on the record include the blissful, love struck tracks "U Do It For Me" and "Some Kinda Wonderful," the Cinderella with a twist song "Happy After," and the spellbinding slow cuts, "What Happened" and "Come Back."


Algebra spoke recently about her debut record, her varied experiences touring with Kem and Keyshia Cole, and being put on by Kedar.
