SMOOTH JAZZ - URBAN A/C SINGER, ANEESSA

Published: Nov. 22, 2020, 9 p.m.

b'Aneessa kicked off her stateside debut with a winning cover of Soul II Soul\\u2019s 1989 anthem, \\u201cBack to Life,\\u201d which has cracked the Top 10 of Billboard Magazine\\u2019s \\u201cSmooth Jazz\\u201d chart. In a similar thematic vein is Aneessa\\u2019s cover of Madonna\\u2019s \\u201cMiles Away\\u201d which she relates to so deeply for its message of a long-distance relationship. Aneessa and Michael wrote \\u201cJust to Be with You\\u201d about their relationship when love was blooming yet they were so far away from each other, leading to her coming to visit\\u2026and never return home.\\n\\nMost interesting is the song \\u201cSatisfied\\u201d which, ironically, was written by Michael and his first wife, Brenda. Their daughter Tiffany remembered the unreleased song and suggested it as perfect for Aneessa to sing. Real love, maturity, and acceptance don\\u2019t get any deeper than that.\\n\\nFollow Aneessa on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.'
