I first came to hear about Jocelyn Ellis via former Little Brother member 9th Wonder. When I had a chance to listen to this young lady I was immediately blown away and have been eagerly awaiting new material from her. My wait is officially over, as she has recently released an EP with the musical backing of Nathan Woolard, Jesse Seibold and Jeff Taylor, collectively known as The Alpha Theory. The chemistry of the ensemble is unmistakable, with Ellis laying down her usual stunning, soul searing vocals and the band providing the perfect musical landscapes for her to shine. "Sugar Rose" has to easily be one of my favorite songs of the year thus far. Take a listen to the samples, then head over to iTunes or their website to discover your own.
