First Listen: Whittington Still delivers a nighttime gem

whittingtonstill

(August 21, 2023) Whittington Still is a renaissance woman who has made her mark in fashion and modeling, and is looking to make her mark in the world of blogging. As a fashion designer, Still has line of jewelry, shoes made of Italian leather and suede and her own fragrance line.

Still also has plans to enter the world of blogging, which will serve to start conversations on ways to bring more love, hope, and peace into the world. But most importantly from our standpoint, Still is a vocalist who brings a much loved and desired style of singing fusing elements of jazz and R&B. The style of singing that Still specializes in, which can be heard on her new single “You Make Me Sing,” was once a mainstay on R&B radio. The tune possesses a percussive yet smooth, midtempo pace that places the focus on Still’s vocals.

Still is comfortable being the audio vocal point. Her range and phrasing allows her to live in that place where jazz and R&B intersect and recalls legendary vocalists such as Phyllis Hyman. 

The lyrics tell a story of how the man in her life puts a melody in her heart. “You Make Me Sing” brings the romance to R&B that many longtime fans say they can’t hear on the radio, but which has a welcome place on the Indie side of R&B. Check it out here.
