FROM
BROADJAM.COM NEWSLETTER:
Words Of Wisdom
The
advent of the printing press may have shifted the focus from oral
poetry to written poetry, but the talented Broadjam artists who perform
spoken word remind us that the oral tradition holds a significant
place in creative communication.
First, check out Aliah Selah's song "Little Shelf" for a
unique mix of spoken word and singing. The voice matches extremely
well with the instrumentation and beat of the piece. The sensual vocals
and the abstract theme contribute to the mysterious tone of the song.
Then later added this quote.
“Very seductive vocals, meshing well with the underlying guitar
and percussion work. Nice lyrical approach as well. The vocal work
here would shine with electronica backing as well. This is undoubtedly
above the edge here!”

“Little
Shelf” is an Ambient Down Tempo Spokenword
Atmospheric Performance Art
like tune that came out as a jam that magically happened
at the end of Aliah's recording session from her 1st CD
Acoustic Perfume.
Later, she and producer Mitch Watkins
added his guitar over dubs and her vocals -
all magically done in one takes as well.
And when she was advised that such a song did not belong on an AAA
CD -
Aliah put it first - as an atmospheric opening setting the vibe for
her next CD
Shades of Images.
DJ's liked the song - they just didn't know where it
fit.
They said it was in the style of "Alternative Jazz"
but that there was nothing out there like it in "Alternative
Jazz"...
then after putting it on Broadjam it reached:
#1
on in California's Top 10 List
#1 on The West Top 10 List
#1 in Productions -
"Other Tempo" Top 10 List
and #2 in Productions -
"Female Vocals" Top 10 List

With
the attention of "Little Shelf"
in Europe and on Broadjam.com
and with Aliah's dance background -
many people have suggested Aliah
do some recordings more in the direction of electronica.
She worked with DJ Finbarr
Massi
on "I See Your Eyes"
a song that the two of them co-wrote.
Aliah has been inspired by Electronica & getting more & more
into it.
She sees it blends with the Universal Eclectic Jazz Rock Funk Fusion...
of the jamband SPIRAL and then
add video to it... and out comes
