Also, R’n'B prince Jay-R has a new album out called Soul In Love, in which he reprises his personal catalog of vintage souls and R&B classics. Listen to the album playlist below, you need to have an imeem account though to listen.

Another Pinay is making waves in the US Music scene esp. in the hard to penetrate Jazz scene, with the likes of Anita Baker and Sarah Vaughan as headliners, the Filipina is Charmaine Clamor.

Charmaine Clamor flippin out

Charmaine Clamor is the first Filipina jazz singer to find success on American radio, achieving the rare feat of simultaneously making the top-5 on both JazzWeek’s World (#2 ranking) and Traditional Jazz (#4) charts. Her debut album was “Searching for the Soul” (2005) and second album, “Flippin’ Out” (2007), were all critically acclaimed.

Don Heckman said in the LA TIMES, “When Charmaine Clamor’s warm, luscious contralto slips into a seductive rhythm or purrs through tender lyrics, there’s no doubt that a first-rate jazz talent is present. Her debut album Searching for the Soul announced the arrival of an impressive new vocal artist.”

Charmaine Clamor is the first jazz artist to release an album that synthesizes the soul and swing of American jazz with traditional Filipino folk music, languages and instruments — a hybrid she calls jazzipino. She headlined the sold-out and critically acclaimed 2005, 2006 & 2007 Filipino-American Jazz Festivals, at Catalina Bar & Grill, in Hollywood, California.

Originally from Subic, Zambales, Charmaine Clamor began her singing career at age 3, entertaining passengers (whether they liked it or not!) in the back of buses traveling to Manila.
