LATE NIGHTS & EARLY MORNINGS is destined to be a classic, as Ambrosius offers a candid glimpse of her life and perspectives as a woman. Inspired by musical icons like Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Prince, she concedes there is an overall male influence in her songwriting, such as the assertive sentiments heard on hits like “Say Yes.” She explains, “My pen and my point of view has a certain aggression to it because I’ve listened to a lot of male influenced music, which I think makes me one of the most outspoken writers out here. Sometimes as a woman you don’t wanna say what’s on your mind for fear of being judged. But why wouldn’t I say it like that if that’s how I felt?” Musical peers recruited to contribute to the project include Alicia Keys, a reunion with Dre and Vidal (producers of “Say Yes”), Just Blaze and Focus.

Why does it work?

Because Black Violin has conceptualized a cutting edge approach of blending ideas: to incorporate where music has been and position it fast forward to where music is going. When speaking of creativity, nothing should be normal, or bland, or define the usual. Standards should never be limited, but set by how vivid a person’s imagination is.

Where does it work?

Black Violin goes into any venue, state or country even, and catches the attention of everyone, from the everyday listener to the trained musician. You may have seen Black Violin perform at a nightclub or an international festival. They have been known to provide the soundtrack for your favorite tv show, or be heard in the backdrop of an ad for a popular soft drink. This may seem extraordinary to the likes of an “average” artist, but Black Violin defies the word “average”. They crush the thought of mediocrity. BV has created a path, the beginning of a winding journey that encompasses their very own vision. Black Violin has captured its audience with their signature style. A style that erases the lines of traditional thinking and pushes the musical envelope forward into the future.
