(May 21, 2016) If you look around long enough among the branches of your family tree, you’ll find one: the savvy and sophisticated auntie, cousin or godmother you adore spending time with because of her fly wardrobe, mother-wit and infectious enthusiasm about love and life. That’s the vibe that soul diva Marilyn Ashford Brown has cultivated over the years as a live performer and recording artist and what listeners can hear in “Sassy Lady.”
Written by industry veterans Cynthia Biggs and Dexter Wansel (Patti Labelle, Teddy Pendergrass and The Jones Girls), “Sassy” is an invigorating uptempo aimed at the “grown and sexy” set, offering advice and inspirational anecdotes about what separates mere women from, well, being a “Sassy Lady.” Perfect theme music for escaping the blues, a Ladies Night Out or even a reminder to stay cool as you grit your teeth through that morning drive, “Sassy” ends Brown’s recording sabbatical and will remind fans of why she was missed.
