Erica Joi Photography
The Freedom Affair

Sunday, February 21

Coming up on Soulsations, The Freedom Affair encourages us to “Give A Little Love.” The unique collective from Kansas City features three powerhouse female singers and a dynamic six piece band. Also hear a new release from R&B artist and Baltimore native Maysa and classics from Luther Vandross, the Gap Band, and Debra Laws. Plus, this week’s DoubleTake includes the 1973 classic “If You Want Me To Stay” by the legendary band Sly and the Family Stone, and a new version by Ari Lennox and Anthony Ramos.

Here’s the music video for “Give A Little Love” from The Freedom Affair:
