Adwoa Ansah-Brew is a fresh new voice in Afro-beat and alternative R&B. Her music mixes innocence with overconfidence, and sexuality with dutiful-daughter piety. Born into an immigrant family, her music touches everyone who has experienced the rush of new love, heartache, and walling oneself off from hurt. Some of her songs are not lessons, but simply colors celebrating elastic leaps between musical genres, from hip hop to jazz to folk. A child of the DC suburbs "The DMV", with its well-known rush hours, hunger for real estate, conventionalities, hair weaves, high school beauty queens, football players and cheerleaders, Adwoa's dreamy introspective music and lyrics mystically transcend the boundaries of class, gender, and levels of sensuality and spirituality. "I let the music talk to me and reciprocate what it's saying in my lyrics." Crushed by the untimely death of her father Master Drummer Kwame Ansah-Brew, she keeps close the musical lessons he taught her and the joy of reconnecting people with their own emotions through music, and we walk away assured that a new friend--or new love--is just around the corner.
