Yolanda Rabun - Yolanda (2016)

Powerful vocalist and Songwriter, Yolanda Rabun releases her 3rd solo album appropriately self-entitled with heart-wrenching lyrics and music that swells from her unique blend of Jazz, Soul, Blues, R&B, Folk and Funk.
Rabun exploded onto the jazz scene first on Stanley Baird’s 2007 Traffic Jam hit single, “I Want 2 Love You,” and, in 2011, released her debut CD project, “So Real,” on which she co-wrote several songs, including the title song. In 2012, Rabun infused Soul, R&B, Gospel, Folk, Smooth and Traditional Jazz on her sophomore solo album, “Christmastime,” and followed in 2013 with the Adult Contemporary single, “Hold on To Your Dreams.”
A skilled singer with a natural storytelling instinct, Yolanda Rabun comes out the gate stunning her live audiences with her endless energy, commanding vocal power, and inventiveness. Her stage shows are engaging, full of passion, and include straight-ahead and contemporary Jazz, Blues, Folk, Pop, and even Gospel. And, Yolanda is never afraid to take risks.
This rich-voice chanteuse has opened for and sung with such iconic artists as Jennifer Holiday, Howard Hewitt, Ron Isley and the Isley Brothers, R&B singer KEM and the world-renowned iconic drummer, Sheila E.
“The YOLANDA album”, as she affectionately refers to it, “bursts with brilliant soothing strings, energizing funk grooves and melodic musical and lyrical depth.“ Yolanda says, “It is all of me!”
A mix of classics, standards and originals, The YOLANDA album, includes songs that showcase Yolanda’s unique ability to interpret diverse material and deliver meaningful musical stories (whether new or told before) with bare honesty and striking stylings.
