In this day, it's not uncommon to find singers who can't sing topping the charts. But to the discerning music lover, real singers with real voices and real talent still matter. One such artist who falls into that category is Syleena Johnson who keeps it real both on her records and in her life and that's why we love her. The statuesque beauty possesses one of the strongest, most soulful voices in contemporary R&B and we've come to expect nothing but good music from her with each album that she releases. Her latest work, Chapter 4: Labor Pains, is her fifth album and the first as her own boss, and she's determined to make this endeavor a success.
In this insightful conversation with Syleena, she brought the sass and the realness that we've come to expect from her as we discussed her new album, being a businesswoman and a mommy, women in the music industry and how many chapters she has left in her. Syleena's candor is as refreshing as her music.
