TheophaniStyle: HoneyWine Official Music Video Premiere

2011- Lucaspictures.net

To start off the week’s love festivities, I had the pleasure of attending the HoneyWine Official Music Video Premiere at the legendary Billie’s Black in Harlem USA. Hosted by the prodigious vocalist Rajdulari, whose “Journey to the Grammy’s” movement is sweeping the country. The lead voice for so many of New England’s eclectic world, jazz and funk groups, Rajdulari is a recent transplant to New York from Boston and is a veteran of the local performance scene. I first met Rajdulari as co-host of The Jay Everyday Show in 2011 when she came on the show. I’ve since had the pleasure of attending 2 live performances, and each time I’ve sincerely been wowed. In-station, on wax, and in living color, Rajdulari delivers jazz styling reminiscent of Patti Austin and Phoebe Snow. Her personal poise and command however, are incomparably her own, and goddess like, if you will.

Imagine the type of beauty you can only see by feeling first. When closing your eyes, you let melodies paint pictures, while you begin to experience a level of art that leaves a check mark on all five senses. The climax of it all is when you open your eyes, what you see confirms what you’ve just felt. Rajdulari does just that, in music, and in person. Appropriately attired in red, love skimming, curvy perfection, Rajdulari will occupy your visual appreciation. In creating the HoneyWine video, she was clear on what she wanted to convey: “People rarely show the curvy girl as a love interest in media”. With special guest, Terrell Carter as the object of her affection, she showed a love story that many American women can attest to. Can beauty so easily be defined in a waistline number? Certainly not. I think it's pretty genius to use your platform to send an honest and clear message about what occurs in everyday living. HoneyWine the video shows real love, fun love, supportive love, good love, and well, just love. The song itself begins with a cavatina of Phoebe Snow’s “Poetry Man” and ends with an elixir of harmony, and devotion of true music for your fine music palette . I promise you on the 6^th or 7^th time you hear the song, you will find yourself chanting “Huneeeee”. I am doing it as I write.

I am giving away 1 HoneyWine cd to the person to shares the best drink recipe in which they've creatively used honey. Winner will be announced next week. Stay tuned...
