The world has had its share of soul singers: Brazen talents that ignite the soul and consume the heart. Soul music serves as a reminder of the varied emotions and experiences we face in life, whether it is a new love or a lost one. Yes, the world has had many soul singers and even more soul albums…but, in recent years, there have been no soul singer like Staten Island NY native IDA DIVINE. While it might sound like hyperbole, IDA DIVINE may very well be that emerging star that will rekindle authentic soul music from another time for those who’ve noticed it’s been missing. DIVINE has the diversity to become an AfroPunk Battle of the Bands Semi-finalist and has shared stages with icons like the Wu-Tang Clan, Dance Hall Queen Lady Saw as well as established R&B voices such as Me'lissa Morgan, Phonte, Vivian Green and Fantasia. DIVINE is still so much more than just her voice, she possesses a presence that is palatable through every venue she performs in. Her voice is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the depth and the strength in her talent, and DIVINE goes beyond just singing lyrics. With every syllable and every note, the listener is opened up to the very inner workings of IDA herself, and with that level of openness, the listener is able to better become immersed in a savvy, soulful brand of R&B with street cred. The classy, brassy, and bold talent of DIVINE is taken to a plain of musical mastery and continues to dominate the Global Independent charts at 10 weeks
