RICH AND EMOTIVE, IT IS HER VOICE THAT FIRST SPREADS GOOSE BUMPS ACROSS YOUR ARMS. AND THEN THE WHOLE ARTIST EMERGES: SPUNKY, GORGEOUS AND BOILING WITH PASSION FOR HER ART. SHAN MALAIKA WILL BE A CHALLENGE TO CLASSIFY IN AN INCREASINGLY CATEGORIZED MUSIC WORLD; THE ENERGETIC 20 YEAR-OLD?S HONEY DEWED VOICE CAN SULTRILY LEAD A SASSY POP SONG AS EASILY AS SHE CAN SING TO REGGAE BEATS. HER WAY OF SINGING A SWEET TUNE HAS BEEN COMPARED TO ALL TIME GREATS AND CROONERS OF LEGEND SUCH AS WHITNEY HOUSTON, LEONA LEWIS AND ALICIA KEYS.
