#Growns it’s Saturday and it’s trying to act like Spring over here on the East Coast. You know the whole rain, rain, rain thing coupled with a touch of warmth. That’s why even with all this rain and intermittent peaks of sun I know it’s great music that will get you through.
The latest from friend to GFM Sydney Ranee’ “LA Boys” is definitely helping this VA Man with a great start to the day. You see I have this thing (as I’m sure some of you reading do too)about my R&B, like some of the adult beverages I partake of from time to time, I like it straight up. “LA Boys” is definitely, unmistakably in the R&B and Soul fold and that’s a welcome sound for these ears on this day. Also, don’t let the title fool you, the song may have “boys” in the title but what Sydney is discussing here is good and grown.
Sydney Ranee’ is the type of artist that we just love and cheer for here at GFM. Talented, hardworking, independent, focused and creative. Now as we often say within these posts, your job is now to tell your closest two or three thousand friends about the latest from Sydney Ranee’ – “LA Boys”
