Spilled Ink - ATL Soul: @OfTheEssence8 Covers @MonicaBrown Angel Of Mine




Nurtured between God’s word and a musically gifted family lies a woman with not only a strong vocal presence but a striking beauty aimed and ready to lay her musical imprint. Sarah Elizabeth or simply “Sarah,” is a vocalist/songwriter born and raised in musical traditions from down home gospel to gritty and impassioned anthems generated by soul icons of the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s – all well before her time yet Sarah has began to map her life’s  musical journey of gospel, neo-soul, hip-hop, R&B, jazz and so much more into harmony fused sounds; which makes it difficult to define her in this category or that category instead we can only define her as an “artist.” Sitting in our office we have several recordings from Sarah and with each new recording we find the young songstress taking a new step in her career, consistently hitting her fans with something they never saw coming. Without question Sarah is a diverse mix of sounds and colors, almost always upbeat and forward thinking; perhaps it is that spiritual foundation in her, or maybe it’s her unwavering sense of determination, or her unshakeable faith that allows her music gifts to engulf the listener and take you on a musical high. Whatever the case is, she’s most definitely a breath of fresh air and we needed a deep breath.

  24. I actually know Sarah but I am gonna keep it anon because I never really cared for her group, but I have to give her ultimate respect after this cover definitely feeling the song. She has a down-to-earth vibe and her drive is incredible. I like how unlike most artist, she hasn’t allowed herself to get too comfortable with where she stands. This girl is always reaching for more and you can’t knock that. I remember seeing her at CSU talent show and now look her own feature. I respect that.

  25. Hi Sarah. I just saw your video/article on CAU today and found you to be so so so sharp, intelligent, humble and level-headed. I was not familiar with you as a solo artist and clicked on the video and I was blown away. Your talent is not to be denied. I am proud of you and will do what I can to spread the word about your incredible music. Your journey is profound one and I suggest you make notes for yourself, we might need to see the movie later on . . . Forever a fan Keisha PS - we had one class together freshmen year before I moved.
