With the joy of marriage and motherhood fueling her fire, Shanice is back, with her signature smile and five-octave range intact. She’s resurfaced with a new independently released album, Every Woman Dreams.To debut her latest offering, Shanice performed for an intimate group of fans, special guests, and celebrities at The Conga Room in Los Angeles Wednesday night (which turned into a surprise birthday bash for the R&B songbird), and the response was more than welcoming.The performance was kicked off by her husband and muse, (actor /comedian) Flex Alexander, who spread rose petals along the path that she would walk to take the stage. Shortly after, her angelic voice was heard coming from the entryway, singing in acappella the late Minnie Ripperton’s classic “Lovin’ You.” Once she made her way to the stage and finished with the song’s familiar glass shattering note, the specially invited guests were going wild. Now a woman, the vocal powerhouse went on to masterfully deliver several songs from her new album, which had a mature, yet playful feel. And with titles like “I’m Gonna Take Care of You” and “I’m So Crazy For You,” it was clear that they were inspired by her love for her hubby. One of the night's many highlights was her diva-esque performance of the title track and first single, “Every Woman Dreams,” on which she schools the ladies on not settling for less in their relationships. She even put a little old school grit in it, which many may not be use to from her. I suppose it changes the game when you’re singing from the heart. She was almost glowing as she performed, often looking out into the crowd at her man. Shanice has been away for a while, but she definitely still has what it takes to reclaim her position as one of the most notable voices in the industry. Every Woman Dreams,Shanice's fifth album, is due in stores this August. It will be released on the couple’s own newly formed IME records, through a joint venture with industry vet Richard Nash’s Playtime Entertainment.In the house to witness the performance was (Magic's better half) Cookie Johnson, EUR's Lee Bailey, comedian Joe Torrey, actress/singer Tichina Arnold and singing couple Chante Moore & Kenny Lattimore. --
