The Consoultant wasn't always a singer. Oh no, The Consoultant (or Selita to her friends) was actually a software consultantbefore she decided to create her alter ego and pursue her dreams in music. With technology in the music industry becoming more and more digitally oriented and the fact that Selita knew a little something about computers it made her decision and transition into the music industry much easier. A lot of work, learning, and experiences later, she's about to put out her debut album, Spend the Night.
Spend the Nightis a huge pop record from an artist that seems to fit just about every musical environment she's put in. Whether it's a house tune, soulful ballad, jazzy quiet storm sort of thing, pure pop, or modern rhythm and blues The Consoultant whips her voice into a note hitting frenzy that will just about give you goose bumps. For someone who has just recorded her debut album, she sounds like she's been doing this forever.
The Consoultant is particularly strong on some of the dancier numbers on Spend the Night and sounds as if there's an inner diva waiting to get out. She finds herself quite easily belting out high energy vocals especially on the title track which is a commercial house thumper. The hilariously titled, "Have You Googled Yourself 2Day," is another great high energy tune that shows she's got a great sense of humor about people's vanity in todays society.
While I'm not usually a fan of music this commercial, I found myself digging The Consoultant. Her versatility was a breath of fresh air and her ability to sing in just about any style thrown at her is truly remarkable. While I think she should stick to working on being a house diva, she's got the chops to do just about anything she wants. Spend the Night is an enjoyable listen and definitely worth spending at least some time with in not the entire...night.
