Artist:Algebra Blessett
Song:Nobody But You
Album:Recovery
R&B singer songwriter Algebra Blessett started out as a background singer. She has recorded two albums. But despite critical acclaim, she hasn't had the commercial success she deserves. She was born Apr. 9, 1978 in Atlanta. Her mother is a gospel singer. After graduating high school, she got into the Atlanta studio scene. She appeared on the song Swing My Way by K.P. & Envyi which appeared in the 1998 film Can't Hardly Wait. She also recorded with Ginuwine and India.Arie among others. She signed with Kedar Records for the 2008 album Purpose. This label is owned by former Motown exec Kedar Massenburg who discovered D'Angelo and Erykah Badu. So he has an ear for talent but he is also known to be flaky. Algebra's album didn't sell so she left Kedar. She recorded with Anthony David and Esperanza Spalding. I think she toured with David. For the 2013 album Recovery, she signed with the British label BBE and eOne in the US. Algebra writes her own songs with a producer. On both albums she worked with rapper turned producer Kwame Holland and Todd "L.T. Moe" Moore. Nobody But You was written and produced with drummer Shannon Sanders. He has worked a lot with India.Arie. Since then she has appeared on albums by Lyfe Jennings and Robert Glasper. But I don't know if she still has a record deal. It doesn't look like it. She's a good singer though. R&B fans should check her out. Here's the video for Nobody But You by Algebra Blessett.
