SHEMEKIA COPELAND — Blame It On Eve (review)

SHEMEKIA COPELAND — Blame It On Eve album cover

Album · 2024 · RnB

2/5 · 2025-03-15
Metatools

Released August 30, 2024, the album doesn't seem like her style...especially based on the cover. It was country music overtones and influences. Her vocal ability and range are just okay. She would have been served better to have some writers or producers custom select her tracks.

If you have an ear for music, she baresly misses a few flat or off notes and her vocal control could be much much better. If you like that sort of jazzy-country feel, then this is the album for you, but if you compare her to Jennie Bryson, Ledisi or Kandance Springs...you'd be surely disappointed.

The one silver lining is you can listen to the entire album yourself on bandcamp and judge for yourself.
