Bosco

Picture a neon version of Jill Scott, or a mohawked version of Erykah Badu. Brittany Bosco is just that, a synthesis of modern electro and a soulful R&B voice. Bosco hails from Savannah, Georgia and is soon releasing her new EP called City of Nowhere. The budding pop star has been known to record her goofy antics, whether she’s shooting a video or making a radio appearance, as indicated on her Myspace page.

Brittany Bosco shines on debut release City of Nowhere Southern Neo-Soul Diva kicks Auto-Tuned pop stars to the curb with her fresh style

Classically trained as a vocalist since the 7th grade, Bosco’s rich, lush voice and diverse musical influences effectively bridge the styles and eras of musical pioneers from Ella Fitzgerald to Erykah Badu. Blending neo-soul, R&B and jazz, singer Brittany Bosco’s debut release City of Nowhere cries out for the music industry to restore the diversity it once cherished. For Bosco, pop music has strayed into the City of Nowhere, a non-descript place that, while trying to please everyone, has lost the individuality that once made it special. “I want to back to that place where it was,” Bosco states. “I want to take people back there with my music.”

Culling tracks from producers across the country, including Alex Goose, Mel B and Tokyo Joe, City of Nowhere is a seamless expression of the young singer’s quest to restore heterogeneity to popular music, flowing from the pulsing, four-on-the-floor back beat of “Studio 54″ to the swooning, atmospheric “DayNight,” or from the throwback soul of “Fairytale Dream” to the experimental title track “City of Nowhere.”

The 8 songs on the EP represent almost 2 years of Bosco’s life, a project she started, then set aside. “I had to stop for awhile because I was trying to find myself and trying to develop a sound,” Bosco says. “Then I decided I’m really going to do this, and picked it back up.” Recorded and engineered by S.O.L. Essential producer/emcee Lloyd Harold at the AWOL Inc. studio in Savannah, the end result marks the arrival of one of strongest new voices to come out of the South (or anywhere) in recent years-a talented, driven young woman who eschews the Auto-Tune and reverb aided pop tracks that fill the airwaves to bring that. - Press Releases by MVREMIX URBAN

“It’s been hard to find a balance between school and music, but my heart is in both fashion and song, so it works out,” assures the SCAD student who’s been lighting up Savannah’s hip-hop scene as of late. A graduate of Jenkins High School, the down-to-earth diva trained classically as a first soprano, knowledge she says helps a lot with the free-and-easy styles of jazz and R&B. Her solo performances feature a mix of covers and originals from her forthcoming album, produced by local engineer Alex Goose. “Sometimes I’ll get inspired in the middle of the night and call him up, and I’ll have beats thirty minutes later.” Brittany began as and often still is the only woman performing with several downtown bands, and she credits those veteran musicians for encouraging her ambitions. “They put me on the scene, and gave me opportunities. I definitely have my wings now.” - jessica leigh
