“I was recently browsing online when I came across a video post by a fellow Nashville resident. The song was by Laura Reed and titled "Faith Not Fear". I watched the video and listened to the song and after it finished there was something very captivating about the beats and the words. There was something very special about Laura Reed and her style. In fact it was that gravitating effect that has made me watch the video numerous times and ask around for the lyrics of the song. I feel that this is going to be the video that we are going to look back to when Laura Reed becomes one of the superstars of the music industry. She has the beauty, charisma, style, voice and the authenticity of who she is , as it comes out through her music. ”

— Steven C. , Nap Lyrics

“Throughout, her inspiring message is the same: you can realize your full potential if you dispense with your fears and "count your blessings in spite of it all." Sometimes these types of songs are too cliché for my tastes, but Ms. Reed gets it right. Faith and fear may have brought Laura here, but her walk through the darkness helped us see her light.”

— Lady J, Soul Bounce

“All of the elements of this project are beginning to come together for me. Influences from soul, hip hip, R&B, and Latin all form a homogeneous mixture that could stimulate the hearts, minds, and ears of virtually any listener. At this juncture Shannon explains to me that one of the biggest aspects of the album is that the songs stand up without the track. Shannon sits down at the Wurlitzer to demonstrate and starts plugging on “Thank You” as Laura comes in next to me on the couch filling the room with her robust, yet silky, smooth voice. They transition through “Bomb Shelter” and “Faith Not Fear” and on and on until it shines as clear as the summer sun that Laura is a force, not only on the track, but also in her own element. Keep your ears open this coming Spring as Laura Reed’s, The Awakening of Laura Reed, is sure to be a musical game-changer for soul, hip hop, R&B and all walks of music. Check out Laura’s website and Facebook page to stay up to date with all of th”

Anthony Hamilton’s voice just keeps getting better with time. The Grammy Award winner’s arresting voice—a favorite staple on the scene since 2003—recently hailed at No. 1 for 4 weeks on Billboard’s Urban Adult Contemporary chart with his soul-stirring single, “Pray For Me”. The Babyface-produced track is the second single from his fourth studio album, Back to Love. Hamilton’s “Pray For Me” and his Back To Love album are both nominated for Grammy Awards (Best R&B Song/Best R&B Album). Back To Love is the follow-up to his 2008 gold-certified, No. 1-debuting album, The Point of It All (So So Def/Zomba Label Group). Recently achieving platinum status in South Africa, the Back To Love album marks Hamilton’s first album with the newly restructured RCA Records—and signals the eagerly anticipated next chapter in the multi-talented singer/songwriter’s evolving career. Fans began paying attention to Hamilton in 2002, when he sang the infectious hook on the Nappy Roots’ “Po’ Folks.” That performance netted the singer the first of 12 Grammy nominations for best rap/sung collaboration. After signing with So So Def, Hamilton scored a platinum debut with Coming From Where I’m From in 2003, featuring the chart-topping hit “Charlene.” Two years later, he returned with gold-certified sophomore set Ain’t Nobody Worryin’, which spun off the No.1 hit “Can’t Let Go.” Then in 2008 came The Point of It All, which elicited USA Today’s declaration that Hamilton is “one of the genre’s rare singers.” Hamilton won his first Grammy Award in 2009 for his collaboration on Al Green’s “You Got the Love I Need.”
