"Smok!ng Cigarettes"

Now I'm gonna say this one more time...WHAT'S GOING ON?! Now I've always been into music, and I always will be. But just recently, maybe a couple of years ago, I started scouting out new, underground talent around the internet like youtube and myspace. I've come across some amazingly talented people but the one artist and the only singer/songwriter that outshined all the rest was a girl named Jayms Madison.

If you've kept up with my blog lately you might notice her picture on a previous blog that I wrote. She is an amazing underground singer that has the range of Whitney Houston and the swagger of Beyonce. Jayms has been on tour with Musiq Soulchild and sang back-up vocals for him. She has also worked with Rapper/Producer Sean P. Diddy Combs and written for several different artists such as Chrisette Michele and Stacie Orrico.

Jayms has broken the mold and created a sound that no one can compare too. She has stated several times in interviews that she hopes to be a universal artist in which she hope to appeal to all people, regardless of their musical genre or preferences.  Jayms has a myspace page as well with some of her tracks on it that you can listen to. Here's the link http://www.myspace.com/jaymsmadison. She is a fantastic talent and she is soon to be releasing more music, hopefully either at the end of this summer or in due time by fall. She also has a youtube channel as well and I recently saw where she did a cover to Tweet's song "Smoking Cigarettes", hints the title; and let me just say that it literally BLEW MY MIND. Here's the link to the video if you want to check it out and/or subscribe to her channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/jaymsmadison.

 Jayms has also gone international in Jamaica and will soon be parting to India. She has done a phenomenal job with breaking through and as long as she continues to do what she is doing, she can make it. I feel like the record companies aren't listening or scouting out ANY new talent these days and quite frankly they need to start doing their jobs. I can't stress enough the fact that most of the artists now-a-days all sounds like "bubble-gum-pop-singers" and its literally starting to get on my LAST nerves. When I hear people like Jayms not only cover other artists songs (and most of the time sound better then they do) but also has her own style and her own music that she writes and can appeal to many different people and sounds excellent doing it; that is what truly pisses me off. There is also a place where you can listen to some of her rare songs, one that I personally love is called "Lovely"...here is the link if you're interested: http://tweetmysong.com/8i89gl. Please support her and follow her on twitter as well: http://twitter.com/jaymsmadison. Thanks guys and keep reading.
