EBONY BURKS
Singer/Songwriter

Elegance, beauty, talent and charisma are defined by the name, Ebony Burks, singer/songwriter and actress. Embodying all the qualities of a “Star” or should we say “Supernova,” Ebony’s light shines brightly from her hometown of Dayton, Ohio. From this creative oasis where the funk movement began, she exemplifies the electric energy of her predecessors while walking the steps of her own path.

Capturing the attention of music lovers at an early age with her undeniable vocal range and exhilarating performances in church and local school plays, Ebony laid down the first bricks to the foundation of what we now see as a blossoming and illustrious career in the world of entertainment.

With songwriting credits and collaborations with the likes of Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Karen Clark-Sheard, Timbaland, and many more, Ebony Burks’ critics say that she is on a “collision course with monster success.” Describing herself as sensitive, creative, and serious, this multitalented soul queen is a master at invoking those same traits and emotions into her songwriting. As noted by her diverse collaborations, Ebony’s talent transcends race, color, gender, and musical genre.

Thus far, Ebony Burks has blessed us with her singing, songwriting, and acting abilities. We have only received a small taste of what she has to offer. In an industry that sometimes can be compared to fast food, Ebony is ready to give the world a full meal with her new debut album, “Electric.” The album is not just a collection of good songs; It is a musical oasis where Soul, R&B, Hip Hop, Jazz and Funk fuse together to form one melodic harmony.

Where there is good music Ebony is what we’ve been missing. Touting the BeeGees, Carly Simon, El Debarge, Journey, Missy Elliot, Beyonce, Babyface and Mariah Carey as just a few of her musical influences, you will almost hear their stylings in her music. Ebony raises the bar for female singers/songwriters everywhere.

You have a very strong melodic voice, but I would like to hear your own individuality come forward even more, so that you don't sound so much like the singers you admire, but I am sure this will come in time and as your confidence as performer grows. the song did not grab me especially, but production wise I thought it sounded sleek and professional. 22/30 annienightingale

This song takes too long to get going and finishes too quickly but it is very promising. The vocal is good and catchy too, it's spot on I'd say. The production is good with some nice noises, dynamics and feel, sexy compression. The first half is a club mix the second a radio edit you just need to make up your mind. Keep it up, this is really good. Just be more ruthless with your editing, or give yourself some more room to breathe…a club mix has to be easy for a DJ to get both in and out of…a radio edit must be succinct and pay off very quickly.There is much promise here. 25/30 eddytemple-morris

Excellent passionate vocals. Ebony has thrown herself at them with 100% commitment and has obvious talent. I can hear this on the radio, It builds up well, has energy and drive and motors well. I just wish it were longer, actual I suspect it was longer and has been shortened. It has one edit that worries me in the middle and a dodgy fade out but otherwise this track absolutely rocks and I suspect longer versions of it exist that I must find ASAP. Ebony’s vocals are chopped in a funky riff that I could easily listen to for a further 3 minutes I’d like to hear this song as a 6-minute dance floor masterpiece and I’d like to hear it as a 3min radio1 friendly catchy commercial track. But at 3.25 with a poor fade out I feel it is somewhere in no mans land – remember that some songs (sadly) do not get the airplay they deserve because they are over three minutes long. I’d love to hear a 6 minute version of this though, and I hope the team do really well in 2009. My favourite to win! 27/30 iansanderson
