Satisfying and soulful. Raw and raunchy. Inspiring, tantalizing and scandalous. Dripping with sensuality. Toronto rock soul songtress Saidah Baba Talibah's - who's been described as Living Color-meets-Erykah Badu - debut LP is more than just an album: it's an experience. The suggestive, choose-your-own-adventure parentheses around the 'S' in the album's title are indicative not only of the album's lyrical content, but of Saidah as an artist and as a person.

In Saidah's own words, "(S)Cream is a collection of dreams, daydreams and realities, that speak from a place of fierceness, vulnerability, insecurity and assuredness. (S)Cream has put away all childish games and is all grown up, but is still searching and getting comfortable in all of her cracks and bulges, turn ons and turn offs. This is my coming out as a woman who likes to talk sex & sensuality, broken-heartedness, not taking anymore shit-ed-ness. I growl. I purr. I go to pretty places, harder places and naked places. I wish you joy, despair, heartbreak, inspiration and to be turned on."

On July 29, Saidah returns to the mainstage in Toronto, as she competes for $10,000 in the Harbourfront SoundClash. The winner will be determined by a combination of jury selections and public votes, so put your vote in for Saidah today.
