"Best Female Musician"

Ezina
Tempted
Rating – A

Ezina creates a CD with eleven tracks that are pure gold. Her silken voice winds through a R&B infused jazz style that is both sultry and sexy at the same time.

The tracks range from hard hitting to soft ballads. This is the perfect CD for late nights with the one you love, or just when you want to kick off your shoes, put them up on the table and relax with a glass of wine. This CD, mostly due to Ezina's vocal presentation, is guaranteed to soothe the most stressed out person.

After the strange .38 second 'Intro-Lude' Ezina gets things going right away with a hip-hop beat and strong backing vocals on "No Friend." The song is upbeat and shows Ezina's vocal range and ability to hold a note longer than you think possible. Ezina's range of style on the CD is impressive. She moves from hip-hop to jazz to soft ballad with ease and grace, and it never affects the flow of the album. 'Slow Ya' Roll' slows things down with Ezina using spoken voice techniques to soften the effect of the song.The instrumentation is groovy and a real treat. This is a great love song.

'Waiting For You' uses a rock and roll drum beat, but it's not a rock song. The effect is interesting. 'Killing Me Softly' (not the Roberta Flack classic) is my favorite song on the disc. It shows off just how sultry Ezina can be at times. The harmonies behind Ezina's strong vocal presence add a real depth to the song.

Ezina is someone I am certain we will be hearing a lot more from in the future. She is a fresh voice and groove that the industry is in need of right now.

"A Woman With Musical Moxie!"

OR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



August 09, 2004



Los Angeles, CA- Ezina, former Miss Black USA, is a musical titan. She sings and plays with passion and purpose on songs like "Power of Woman." Power of Woman is the title of her new album released on June 22, 2004 on Soulful Warrior Records.



If there was anyone that defines the motto "I am woman hear me roar," it is Ezina. She plays her left-handed guitar with the ghosts of all the blues and rock greats hovering above. Like a woman Lenny Kravitz, she empowers her cause by doing it all.




While aspirations to be the female Prince seemed far-fetched, growing up in a Christian/Jewish family, nothing was to stop her from following her heart. The need to be expressive in every possible way necessitated the need for Ezina to play the guitar and sing, giving her talent the maximum exposure. With beauty queen looks and the heart of a lion, she has captured the hearts of fans all across the globe.




With a gig at The Knitting Factory, Los Angeles on August 9, 2004, and more tour dates to follow, Ezina is in position to take her career to the next level.




Her new record is available at Tower Records, Best Buy and FYE Stores Nationwide and online at:

"Musical Energizer Bunny"

The spirit of Ezina comes at you through her music and voice with soulful and sexy appeal, backed by stinging guitar lines. She is like a musical energizer bunny, the emotion and electricity just comes pouring out of her. Her sound pays homage to the blues and rock greats of the past with a modern day edge. Ezina has a huge fan base already, and it will surely grow as tracks like "Power of A Woman," which is a video on her site to view, make a musical and personal statement that is both powerful and attractive.


R & B, Rock, Blues… like Lenny Kravitz, she does it all, and to top it off she plays a left-handed guitar (remind you of someone named Jimi?). Make sure you stop by Ezina’s website; she has lot of music for you to listen to. I spent a good half of an hour buzzing around on her site. This woman has some pipes, and tons of charisma as well, she is a pure talent poised to emerge and become a part of your consciousness. This girl has it going on; the talent, looks and confidence to take her career to the stratosphere…watch this shooting star.

"Rock Diva Ezina Kicks off Summer tour at Viper Room"




FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


ROCK DIVA EZINA KICKS OFF TOUR AT THE VIPER ROOM
ON SUNDAY, JULY 9th, 2006

FORMER MISS BLACK USA WILL PROVE SHE IS NO LONGER INNOCENT AT SUNSET�S FAMED VIPER ROOM

Los Angeles -A legend in the making, Ezina will be kicking off her summer tour at The Viper Room on Sunday, July 9th, 2006! The tour will celebrate the release of her CD, Power of a Woman as well as entertain audiences with tracks from her debut album, Tempted. Ezina allows her listeners to hear the hurt, the pain, the tears, the lesson, the healing and the laughter. She intentionally sings wrong notes to express the dysfunction or the pain of the experience. How can you sing of pain in the perfect pitch? It doesn't make sense to me. Pain is not pretty...
Ezina, the niece of R&B legend Bobby Womack and shares the same blood lines as Stevie Wonder, truly validates that musical talent is hereditary. Hailing originally from Michigan, Ezina fought her way through countless tribulations and chronicled them throughout two astounding CD's. Being as prolific an artist as Ezina is, her third and fourth albums will follow this year, one of which will be produced by the illustrious Nikki Sixx. Her genre is one that combines rock, R&B, soul, and funk all while wielding a left-handed Paul Reed Smith 22 custom guitar.
Ezina's appropriately titled album, Power of a Woman, showcases her ongoing list of accomplishments including having written and published ten books. Ezina received her MBA from the University of Michigan, attended Julliard and teaches everything from meditation to How to make money as an independent artist. Ezina truly defines an indie artist.
WHO: Ezina
WHEN: Sunday, July 9th
WHERE: The Viper Room, Los Angeles
