"The Colored Section" by Donnie (Giant Step Records)

Written by Jianda Johnson
Published January 29, 2003

"The laughter of a playing child/a kiss of love so tender and mild/ these things are essential/to my well-being..." (from "You Got a Friend") Giant Step's latest protegee Donnie always kills it when he stretches out his arms and sings a song. Be it melancholy, or exuberant, Donnie will crush it--with love.

Coming from the Stevie Wonder/Motown school, Donnie's latest tracks stimulate your heart, mind, body, and body of thoughts. Donny Hathaway and Marvin Gaye are but two of his musical heroes, and soon - very, very soon - we are sure that DONNIE will become yours.

A health-conscious artist, musician, vocalist and widely-published writer, Jianda's also a poet, guitarist, actress and singer-songwriter with singles/albums that are both self-released and available on several international independent labels including: Om Records, Kinkysweet Records, and Jam Music Australia. She plays the role of Kya in the upcoming Griot Soul Films Production, "She Wasn't Last Night," to begin production in October 2007. Visit her at www.myspace.com/jianda or http://jianda.net.

This is definitely the best album that I have bought in a very long time. I have included a copy of my review of The Colored Section. By the way, how does one become a Blogcritic?
