MJ Songstress was part of Team Usher and a Top 20 finisher on the sixth season of NBC's THE VOICE.
Fort Lee, New Jersey dance-pop singer-songwriter MJ Songstress recently released the music video for her new single "Carousel". The first thing you're likely to notice about the song is the intoxicating beat, an unmistakable sonic signature with a mid-range thump, "Carousel" is a sensual, immersive and propulsive bop, designed to pick you up and whirl you around into carefree, spiritual existentialism. It's a song that's guaranteed to fill the dance floor, and one that will surely put you in the mood for new love.
If all there was to "Carousel" was its engaging sound, it would still be well worth spinning. But MJ Songstress isn't just about visceral thrills, she's also an experienced composer and multi-instrumentalist with a deep understanding of musical composition. She's given us a song that would sound just as good if it was presented on solo piano as it would bumping out of the speakers at one of NYC's legendary nightclubs or London's Vauxhall scene. She's pushing toward an unprecedented fusion of pop, jazz, hip-hop, R&B, and Latin music - one that represents everywhere she's been and everywhere she's determined to go. Although she has already accomplished a lifetime of achievements, she is not one to press pause. She's been a successful contestant on televised singing competitions on both sides of the border. MJ Songstress was part of Team Usher and a Top 20 finisher on the sixth season of NBC's The Voice, and she was a finalist on Televisa's La Voz México. In her career, she's worked with legends: Swizz Beatz, Nile Rodgers and CHIC, Wyclef Jean, A.B. Quintanilla y Los Kumbia All-Starz, to name a few. "Carousel" is the culmination of all the work she's done so far, and it's likely to appeal to anybody wishing to be swept away by love.Listen to "Carousel" here:
