The Much Anticipated Sophomore "Miss Georgia" Album is one that is uniquely woven around a day in the mode of "Koffee" Dawn Dillard as it relates to being/becoming an artist while still in Corporate America and how the two clash on her path for a perfect Life. "If such a thing exists." As one of her songs questioned.
The very creatively sultry & wildly radiant Koffee, manages to build the new album around, relatable yet brief company (corporate) time interjections for a bevy of believable interludes that actually are relative to the music content!
The concept of taking an average work day to address topics of...Love, Domestic Violence, Pain, Past Reflections, Personal Quests, Insecurities and Inspiration... is a brilliantly fresh idea with just the right balance. Koffee's Music/Content is Risky, Edgy, Urban, Soulful, Alternative and Freshly Unique!
Koffee's "word~playful" writing style is an interesting twist of compelling, poetic scat sung over melodic almost hip hop jazz tracks. It's no wonder she is referred to as Koffee-the-flowloist (vocalist). Some may be quick to categorize her genre as "Neo Soul mixed with R&B" But hold on to your seats as her curveball flow salsa dances from B-Side broken beats, to sexy scatic-stucatto interludes, to cold hip hop flows, to acoustic stories, right back to a heartfelt love Ballad. Koffee with her music style and appeal covers a lot of ground and will be a hard act to follow! Koffee, the world's new "Bad Girl of Soul" affectionately termed this for breaking Industry (in the box) rules while instead putting out an album that is all about being an artist first and foremost, will be nothing less than "Unpredictably Soulful!" Keep your ears hot & ready for the new ..."Miss Georgia" album coming Jan 2008!
