Okay, this is by far one of my most favorite groups and they of course have gone their separate ways. The combo of Marsha’s jazzy vocals with Natalie’s hip hop inspired raps were genius…but obviously too confining for the duo. Natalie Stewart left the group not soon after their second release with no real explanation.
My take, while Natalie’s spoken word was on point, the real star was obviously Ambrosius. People came to see the Floetry shows (I was lucky enough to see them live once) for the live vocals where Marsha proves that she has the chops to perform with the best of them. The spoken work thing can be a bit confining after a while, especially if you are sitting in the background while your musical partner is getting all the accolades for her voice….I’m just sayin.
Here is Marsha performing “Say Yes” in London this past summer…just listen to the crowd go crazy. She doesn’t even really need to sing half the time. The audience does it for her…LOL.
