Toronto’s R&B Diva Divine Brown to Drop New CD, “Something Fresh” in 2013 | LISTEN to New Single feat Gyptian, “Beautiful Lady”!

Toronto’s R&B Songstress Divine Brown to Unleash New CD in 2013 | LISTEN to New Single feat Reggae Star Gyptian, “Beautiful Lady”!


When Divine Brown enters a room the energy becomes electric. It’s
that classic combination of attitude and altitude, for with Divine,
people instantly recognize her as music royalty which she carries
fearlessly having earned rather than borrowed her crown. It’s in her
ability to at once invoke the empowered sexuality of Pam Grier’s
seventies superwoman, Foxy Brown, while remaining immediately
contemporary, exciting and fresh that drives her appeal. Fearless. Foxy.
Fresh. Ladies and Gentlemen it’s time you know Divine Brown.
