After releasing “First Lady” in 2005, Faith took a hiatus that lasted over three years until this song called “Maybe” popped up in 2008. Instead of signaling that Faith was working on her new album (which we finally just got in 2010), it came...
For a second time, YouKnowIGotSoul got a chance to interview Donell Jones and we touched on his new album “Lyrics,” how being on an independent label will allow him to release albums more often, experimenting with new sounds and showing his creativity as...
