July 17th, 2009


♫ Priscilla Renea – Hello My Apple

Recognized as an emerging talent and one-to-watch on the pop music scene, Priscilla is a true product of the Internet Generation. Having showcased her musical talents to over a million viewers via her YouTube page (prior to receiving a music contract), her career is finally starting to take off.

Her debut album, Jukebox, is schedule for release later this year but until then, check out her first official video for the song “Hello My Apple” below:

    She is talented, but I wish they would do something more with her look. I’m tired of the 80′s flashback style.

    Song is nice enough…honestly i think if she were white, we’d just be saying “sounds like a lot of other white girls” but since she’s black it makes her “unique”. Just keepin it real, playin devil’s advocate, but yeah she’s pretty decent and I always give props to ppl who play an instrument and write/compose their own stuff.

    I, too hope they do a lil more with her look #27.

    Also dis girl has talent and she only has 50 something comments. Y’all complain so much about someone not having talent but every time true talent is featured on this site they are completely ignored. Just like when JoJo was featured on this site, she barely reached 100 comments. If you want more true talent they are here, but you have to actually listen to them and buy their music. DUH
