This album has got me open! I just got it and I'm seriously lovin' it! "Groove", "Chill Zone" and "Choice", have immediately gone into heavy rotation on the iPod. If you're into 'real soul' music, this is a 'must have' for your collection. Don't sleep! - TODD KELLEY *FLOWINK.COM
Love's Design is the most consistantly listenable CD I have heard in quite some time. The songs are all well produced, my favorites are "Why You Wanna Leave" and "Chance Of Rain." If you want music that makes you feel good and is honest, get this one! - RAMEL WERNER-ARTIST
t’s all about love for TJ Brown. From singing in church to dreaming complete song arrangements, her love of music manifested early. TJ began writing songs for others and doing session work. Her love of music soon lead her to the front of the stage as a solo singer. On her debut CD Love’s Design the Chicago native sets a mood that keeps you warm and chills you out. TJ doesn’t rely on over produced tracks to get her simple message of love across. She crafts a contemporary soul album that recalls a time before much of the current day “hype and no substance” songs. The slow grooves and ballads stand out because of their simplicity and pure emotion.
Love permeates the lyrics and TJ delivers each line as if she has lived it. In many cases she has lived all the joy and pain she sings about in her first musical release. Her songwriting plays an integral part as it adds a deep soulfulness and sincerity to the project. From dreaming about songs to making her own dreams come true we get to come along on a musical journey where TJ Brown makes us believe it’s all in love’s design. - VONNIE WOODS HONEYSOUL.COM

Bio
Born Tanya Jenine Brown, TJ was raised on the south side of Chicago. At the age of 5 she began performing for her family singing vintage soul. She began singing in her church choir as a child and was quickly a featured soloist for the congregation.
Her favorite memory of music was singing at her afterschool program for the teachers. TJ says, “I was nervous but I remember feeling like I could fly and do anything… and when I discovered I had a double gift from god and I could write… the feeling was “indescribable”.
TJ’s desire to share her vocal gift with the world came to her while doing session work for other artists. Over the last10 years she has worked with various producers developing her own unique sound that encompasses her love for music. It is easy to find TJ’s passion in her inspiring vocals and superior writing skills. Her style is distinct and soulful, “I maintain the smooth …..I love sexy romantic music…I am a soul descendent of the past and a student of it as well”. Her drive and energy for the music industry, weather its writing or performing, makes her a standout and well rounded artist.
“No one should settle for something that they don’t want to do in life…sometimes sacrifices are made but you should do what you love and love what you do…and I love music!” TJ Brown
