Haddy N'jie envelopes her listener in a voice filled with warmth, depth, and timelessness. Her voice is incomparable to many of today's singer, but contains the timbre synonymous with the likes of Meshell Ndegeocello, Lauryn Hill, and Etta James. Unlike many of today's "empty voices" (a new term attributed to a friend of mine), N'jie's voice is rich and fill a void left in today's soul music: truth. Her lyrics are simplistic, but express complex emotion. And her videos seem to follow suit. I am enamored with the cinematography of this video as it paints a part of a story that is abstract, yet I understand. Her homebase of Norway is very evident in the video; hence the snow being a focal point of the background. I appreciate the diversity of Haddy as an artist. Not only is she a songstress, but she is also a freelancer, columnist, children's book writer, and playwright. A woman after my own heart. And the icing on the cake...
She's au naturale*
