She's not known to the American public but that's about to change because in her native UK she has scored Top 10 status on the R&B charts with the track "On and On". She is Beverlei Brown, a beautifully talented (and sexy I might add) young artist to emerge on the UK soul music scene.

The album's called 'Next to you' (Dome) and it has already got the industry buzzing with excitement. The producers and writers on the set include Ronnie Knight, Michael Daley of The Full Crew, Simon Payne and the Full Flava team of Rob Derbyshire and Paul Mullings. The album is a mixture of some solid R&B flavour mixed with 2-Step, house and a dash of jazz to fill the brew. Songs of note include 'Love you yes', 'Somebody knows how you feel', 'Part-time Lover' and the current single 'Gonna get over you' (already released in Japan along with the album as well). Beverlei also co-wrote six of the tracks on the album again proving just what a talent this young lady really is.

The lead off single to be released in the UK is 'Best Friend' which can also be found on the Dome compilation CD/LP 'Soul Power'. Look for the album to be released in the UK late September. Again no US distribution so if you want a copy, jump on the net and visit her label www.domemusic.co.uk. Ask for Peter or Santosh (if you call) and they'll take good care of you. Most definitely a Ty-D pick here
