The Latest Crave: TaNeal


I had the pleasure of meeting TaNeal at the International Soul Music Summit that took place in August. If you are in the mood for some raw rhythm and blues with gangster girl flow  - check out Westerville, Ohio's own TaNeal.

A new artist with a brand new track for every overplayed rap song about needing a dime; you can leave the change behind because TaNeal is way more than currency. Witty pop flavored rap lyrics, with hints of Baduizm in the vocals- Currency is a combination of old school R&B and Hip-Hop in response to new school slang. No more currency - women are way more than dimes.

Now or Neva has a Maxwell feel and starts out with TaNeal showing off her pretty soprano over smooth rhythm and blues. A song about the need to break free and be yourself. Worth a listen especially if you are in the mood for a soulful tun turned blue.

L2L is where TaNeal will make you learn to love her and get on the dance floor. This track is a fistpumpumping dance groove and features a rap solo by R.Y.A.N. with the Drawing Board Experience.

TaNeal's raw talent and street sass has gained her significant buzz giving her the opportunity to open for major R&B acts such as Day 26 and Shirley Murdock. Currently working on a new demo for her next album for hip-hop soul fans and if this next one is anything like the L2L or Now or Neva with tighter production, TaNeal will be on the fast track to being one of the hottest in hip hop soul with her forthcoming project.
