Last Friday during Art Basel weekend in Miami, FL, Kid Sister along with Miami's hottest DJ, DJ Induce, showed us how to loose control poolside at The Delano Hotel. It was a hot performance accompanied by hot dancers and even hotter costumes.
Silhouette Brown's self-titled debut was greatly received and seemed to fill a gap in the soul underground, so 5 years is a long time to wait for a follow-up. But as they say, good things come to those who wait. The production & song writing team that is Silhouette Brown consists of Bembe Segue, Kaidi Tatham and Dego. This time around they are joined by a new vocalist the unmistakable sound of Philadelphia’s Lady Alma. Lady Alma has appeared on countless club classics over the years from Sylk 130’s "When the Funk Hits the Fan" to Soul Dahmma’s "Happy" and 4hero’s "Hold it Down".
Two will be released on February 9, 2010 on 2000black Records.
