As I am always looking to find young and upcoming stars for WHAT’S IN MY HEADPHONES it was my pleasure to attend the lovely Britni Elise’s first showcase that was in Chicago this week. At first listen of her current single Satisfied you can recognize the potential she has to be a force in women’s R&B, [...]
