Granted a voice that provides soul sustaining sustenance, world wide musical hunger is Gem Avery’s to satisfy.

 

The spread of the Gem Avery brand of Neosoul is quite evident.  The sound offered in her debut album, GAS MONEY, is continuously devoured by listeners around the globe.  Boasting thirteen (13) spirit elevating songs, Gem Avery’s GAS MONEY is an integral part of the menu at mood lounges, soul kitchens and neosoul café type venues everywhere.  GAS MONEY is a literal buffet of flawless music production and soul enchanting explorative lyrics.  The rich flavor starts at song one with “Heard” which speaks to an artist acceptance of infinite anonymity and moves to the pessimistic-and-matter-of -fact title cut “Gas Money” the hopeless mantra of self-defeat “Fly Away” to the self-enlightened “Focus” to the renewed outlook voiced so eloquently in “Righteous” near the album’s end.  Gem Avery’s invaluable contribution to the famine world of music speaks to human beings’ universal and continuous transition between self doubt and self realization.   A classic debut, Gem Avery’s work has no place other than among timeless rare grooves.
