Soul Veteran Angie Stone’s new release, The Art of Love and War, contains three Shamora co-written songs. “These Are The Reasons”, the only song on the record not co-written by Ms. Stone, and the standouts “Take Everything In” and “Sometimes”, with the latter reaching number 7 on Billboard’s Urban AC charts, highlighting yet another reign of accomplishments for this unrivaled talent. Factor in KeKe Wyatt’s new album, Ghetto Rose, with the Shamora penned single, “I’m A Hustler” f/ Raheem Devaughn, and Bad Boy’s Cheri Dennis’, In and Out of Love, with the hit “Ooh Ooh”, and it’s evident that Shamora is truly phenomenal.
In an industry with talent overflowing, it is easy to become lost in the shuffle. Yet as a Producer, Songwriter, Arranger, and Artist, Shamora proves that just like so many things, her musical capacity and accomplishments will only get better over time.
