Aretha Franklin, Joss Stone, Alanis Morrisette, Bonnie Raitt, even Stevie Wonder....Shelly Bhushan has been compared to all these great artists and yet it's still difficult to pigeon hole her into any one musical style or genre. Born and raised in Texas one can definitely hear the Texas blues undertones in her soulful voice...but to call her a blues or soul singer does not begin to touch the depth and richness in her songwriting and singing. On September 20th she released her debut album titled "Picking Daisies". The song posted above "Beautiful Me" is a great example of what Shelly means when she says that "...one can be soulful and not be trite, and/or be a singer/songwriter without being boring and straight."Visit Shelly at www.shellybhushan.com/ or www.myspace.com/shellybhushan.
