Album Notes

Ozara Odé has been compared to some of the most profound singers of all time. Imagine Nina Simone meets Prince, Tina Turner meets Sade, and you will have a better understanding of her stage presence and sound like.
Her sultry sounds have moved audiences from DC to Atlanta, Center Stage to 14th Street Playhouse and appearing on Atlanta radio stations, V103; and Peachtree TV’s JJ on Atlanta, the JazzCafe in London, and BizzArt in Paris, France.
At present, Odé is in preparation for the anticipated tribute to Nina Simone, which will take place in 2011. Ms. Odé has written and will play the lead role in the “One Woman” show. “My journey has been a testament to why I believe in dreams – and if you focus on your purpose and not your distractions, they will come true.”
In June of 2008, she released her first album, “I Dream.” “This album is very important to me because I put blood, sweat, and love into each lyric, each melody, and every effort was inspired by life itself. “ Lady Odé is presently working on the soundtrack for her "One Woman" Show, "Diva: A Tribute to Nina Simone- An Ozara Odé Experience". I am honored to work with Grammy Award winning producer, Kevin Deane on both the soundtrack and my new album entitled, "Open"- set for release in 2011. Multi-Grammy nominated producer Herb Middleton, is also gracing the long-awaited album with his magical touch.
“My humble desire is to take you on a journey with words and melodies that will lift you when you need uplifting, help you cuddle when you need cuddling and help your feet move when you need to dance. My mother gave me Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, and Earth, Wind, and Fire. I would like to give you Ozara Odé."
