While Maysa is no newcomer to the music scene, her ninth solo CD, Motions of Love that boasts cameos by the legendary Stevie Wonder and neo soul crooner Dwele, promises to introduce the veteran soul and smooth jazz vocalist to the widest audience of her career. She first gained fame as the featured voice on defining 90s era hits from British acid jazz band Incognito, such as Dont You Worry About A Thing, Still A Friend of Mine and Deep Waters. She then launched a concurrent solo career with the hits Am I Wrong (For Lovin You), Friendly Pressure and Hypnotic Love. With a sultry alto on par with the honeyed notes of Phyllis Hyman and Patti Austins, Maysa should be one of the biggest names in the urban mainstream but instead she has earned a loyal underground audience.
