Alexis Spight


I think great singers come from singing in church. It is just something about the way they deliver a song that moves me. Well Alexis Spight happens to be one of those singers. I saw her on “Sunday Best” a television gospel singing contest in 2012. No it is not like American Idol. Contestants are judged on the true singing ability not what they look like. I watch her go up against some great gospel singers of all ages. In the finale it was between the two teenagers Alexis Spight 19 and Joshua Rogers 18. Joshua Rogers won it was the first time in the history of “Sunday Best” that a male won since it began in 2007. Well this native from Buffalo, NY was 1st runner up she definitely did her thing. Alexis is the daughter of a preacher she honed her skills by singing in church. Alexis has the vocal ability, unique style and apparent genuineness that will take her far in her music. I heard the song “Steady” on Streetwise Radio. When I saw that it was Alexis Spight I was so pleased to know that this amazing young talent had an album out called “L.O.L.: Living Out Loud”. Alexis will take a gospel song and turn it into something wonderful to hear. It will make you want to get on your feet. My favorite songs off “L.O.L.: Living Out Loud” album are “Steady”, “"Imagine Me" and "Power In The Blood" You can listen to songs from Alexis Spight on Streetwise Radio. Also listen to Streetwise Radio on MyGen365, iTunes, Live365, Athena365 and Pandora.

Brandon Hines


This R&B crooner with a pleasant tenor voice sings love songs. Brandon Hines is from the Detroit Michigan, I like is style he reminds me of a young Brian McKnight. Brandon is an intelligent young brother he took is knowledge of social networking and promoted his first album “Love Music:Fallin in Fallin” while he was at Howard University. Through the student body, he sold over 10,0000 copies which gained him a fan base. Brandon left school and decided to peruse his music career. He went to New York City hooked up with some heavy hitters in the music industry such as Trey Songz, J. Cole, R. Kelly, Ryan Leslie and Troy Taylor. When he went on tour with Estelle’s American Boy tour his fan grew through MySpace and YouTube. His song “Fire” was on the movie sound track “Think Like a Man”. Brandon Hines is an artist that is underrated, but I predict we will be hearing from a lot him. My favorite songs from Brandon Hines is “Fire”, “Yes You Are”, "Where Did U Go", “In Love With Someone Else” and “Pin Up Girl”.Listen to Brandon Hines on Streetwise Radio,Live365,Athena365,MyGen365,iTunes,Pandora,Soul City.
