The Afro-topped Big Apple singer/songwriter STEPHANIE McKAY – who was featured to good effect on jazz trumpeter Roy Hargrove’s RH Factor album ‘Distractions’ in 2006 – releases her third solo set ‘Tell It Like It Is’ on July 14th. It’s the follow-up to her 2006 long player, ‘Stephanie McKay.’ Fusing thoughtful, intelligent lyrics with old school-style funk and soul workouts – think Sly Stone meets Stax via Prince – the singer’s new 12-track CD is released on the Muthas Of Invention label. A single, ‘Jackson Avenue,’ is released prior to the parent album on July 7th.
