(March 7, 2020) There have not been many violinists who have successfully moved from classical to jazz to success in the soul music world, though a few such a Noel Pointer come to mind. One of the newest to successfully bridge those often large divides is former Tru Vibe member, violinist and singer Monique Brooks-Roberts.
We featured Monique’s single, “Night Life,” last year, and SoulTrackers responded. She now has a new album that is making waves, and the song “Cherish The Day” – a Sade cover – is connecting with listeners of many genres.
We love the album version, but enjoy even more the live version that she recorded recently in Denver. Check it out below and welcome Monique back to SoulTracks.
