It has been said that either the sky is the limit or the limit is the sky. In the case of Louisville native, Adrianne Archie, now 28, the limitations of life are left solely up to God. Creating a buzz about her talent and music since the age of 6, her life and career as a singer have been inevitable. Adrianne spent her formative years developing her gifts by singing at conventions, in churches, plays, and in talent shows. After completing her undergraduate education in marketing, she immediately began performing on local music projects with SoulLinQ Productions artists, which gave way for her to work on her debut album HTHAELHH- He That Hath An Ear, Let Him Hear.
Upon it’s release, HTHAELHH quickly became and independent success. The album garnered the rare combination of critical acclaim, popularity with consumers and respect from established industry artists. Drawing from the gospel, hip-hop, r&b, and neo-soul genres, Archie was able to gracefully reach a wide range of listeners. Adrianne’s albums HTHAELLH and Warm Winter, a seasonal album released in the 2006, have been best sellers with many online retailers. HTHAELHH currently holds the record for best selling neo-soul album on CDBaby.com. Also, Adrianne received both the Best New Artist and Best Female Artist awards from the Urban Gospel Alliance for this project and picked up a deserving 5 star rating from Gospel Today Magazine and iTunes. Adrianne’s work remains to be a staple in the music industry and these acclamations attest to the relevance and longevity of Ms. Archie’s music.
True artists with longevity learn to evolve and grow. Adrianne’s upcoming release of HSMS-Heart, Soul, Mind & Strength, is evolution to the fullest. Taking its name from Luke 10:27 which reads: He answered: “Love the Lord your God with all our heart and with all your soul, and with all you strength and with all your mind, Love your neighbor as yourself.” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” is a call to wholistic living through healthy relationships with both God and man.
Slightly off the scene but not off track, for the past 3 years, Adrianne has studied this closely in seminary receiving a Masters of Arts in Christian Education in the fall of 2009 while also serving as a ministry leader at her local church.
Adrianne has once again teamed up with long time producer Joel Goodwin to create this 3rd album. The music and lyrics reflect the HSMS theme by utilizing musical genres such as soul, pop, hip-hop, jazz, r&b, and contemporary Christian, to reflect such life settings as the church, social outings, traveling, exercising and relaxation. Adrianne refers to this as music for the car, crib, club, cardio, and church. Early anticipation and reviews for the release of HSMS indicate that Adrianne is on to something huge and the limitations that are usually placed on artists will be met and surpassed by far. Now that those with “ears have heard, they will respond in love to God and man, with all their heart, soul, mind and strength.
