Richelle L. Brown aka Corn Bread…

Never heard of a female refer or call herself Cornbread but Richelle L. Brown does. Definitely has a style of her own that I know of. I can’t really compare her to any artist. At first, I thought maybe Chrisette Michele or Jill Scott from her picture to depict what type of artist she was before listening but nope, not at all. She’s an electro funk artist and she indeed has a funky sound.

The mixtape consists of 4 tracks, not including the intro. The intro basically gives a clear description of who Richelle L. Brown is and how to keep up with her latest.
Now onto Richelle’s review. In my opinion, she’s a good artist. Definitely got her own sound and style judging from the cover of the mixtape.

She has a soulful sound that kind of reminds me of Amerie. Not comparing those 2 together because they’re styles is obviously different. But, at moments, when listening to the track, “Swagga Black Country Queen”, Amerie came to mind. So, that one I liked and “Super Funky Sounds”. Both tracks are really live and got that jumpy dance feel. She, I think, would do great live.

Only thing about “Super Funky Sounds” was a part where she was chanting, “We came to party till we can’t no more, if you ain’t come to party take your lame ass home” it reminded me of the Fergie’s – Glamorous track of the Dutchess Album, where Fergie said, “If you ain’t go no money take your broke self home”. Still loved it though.
The last 2 tracks “Electric Funky Girl” and “Riot (Greedy, Cruel, Deeds)” were nice too. “Riot” chorus is catchy some. Everything was creativity including the production. I likes.
4.2 stars out of 5.

Bringing back true moxie and funk to the music sphere. Richelle L. Brown is that missing energy. Crowned the new queen of Electro Funk Dance Music, a passionate singer, songwriter and performer birthed from that gritty red clay and southern spunk of what we innately call Georgia . Richelle L. Brown joins the movement of retro songstresses that are invading the hyperspace experience. Similar to the Acid Jazz wave of the 90’s that garnered such artist as Nadea Davenport; Richelle L. Brown is that new funk.
Her passion for music sparked during a time when V-103 had more than 10 songs in rotation, and her frequent regimen in Conyers , GA was sitting shotgun in her mothers Eagle Summit Hatchback, driving down West Avenue or detouring the back streets as the sounds of The Funkadelics, R. Kelly, Parliament, Janet Jackson, Chaka Khan and Keith Sweat, resonated through her ears.
Fast forward over a decade and Richelle L. Brown’s introduction song, “Swagga Black Country Queen” is that 2009 vivid snapshot of an everyday southern socialite lifestyle, where candy colored Chevy Dunks parade down Peachtree, hipsters dance on the bar at the Royal or congregate at MJQ, and ladies fashionably costumed sporting exclusive knee-hi Chuck Taylor’s under an 80’s vintage dress, showcasing what’s really meant by “country queen vintage exclusive”.
The debut ep, “The Example Project” will take you on a voyage of Open Experimental Music thoughtfully constructed to provoke an undeniable progression of music themed by that lifestyle with just the right balance of funk and mojo, that listeners have eagerly waited for. And as open and free as a celestial vessel, the experience of Richelle L. Brown will leave you feeble with only a passion to inspire and move your body.

So lace up your Chucks and enjoy the energy of Richelle L. Brown:
