Anissa Hargrove: Stay CD Release
Anissa Hargrove - Stay Ready CD Release with a Salute to Atlantic Starr and Starpoint
Anissa Hargrove, the soulful voice behind R&B’s next chapter has been a defining presence in R&B for most of her life, pouring her heart into every note and telling her story through soulful, sexy and authentic music. She’s had the honor of collaborating with legendary artists like Gloria Gaynor, Kindred the Family Soul, The O’Jays, Patti LaBelle, Miki Howard, Chanté Moore, Glenn Jones, Shirley Jones of The Jones Girls and many more. These experiences have shaped not only her sound but also her deep passion for connecting with audiences on a meaningful level.
Atlantic Starr was among the top urban contemporary acts of the '80s and fared well in the adult contemporary market as well, but their roots were '70s soul and funk. They are best known for the hits “Always,” “Secret Lovers,” “Circles,” “Silver Shadow,” and "Masterpiece.”
Formed in 1978 in Annapolis, Maryland, Starpoint took flight following the signing of a contract with Chocolate City. They released ten albums in the 80's, produced mainly by Lionel Job. Hits include "I Just Wanna Dance with You," "Object of My Desire,” “I'll Be Good,” and ”I Wonder If I Take You Home."
