- From Adriana Evans Debut Album
Biography by Jason Ankeny
Alternative R&B singer Adriana Evans was born and raised in San Francisco; her mother, Mary Stallings, was herself a gifted vocalist who sang with Count Basie and Dizzy Gillespie and issued a series of fine solo records. At 18, Evans relocated to Los Angeles, befriending aspiring rapper Dred Scott and collaborating on his 1994 album Breakin' Combs. Her own self-titled debut followed on RCA in 1997.
Album Review by Alex Henderson
Despite some jazz and hip-hop touches here and there, Adriana Evans' promising debut album leaves no doubt that her primary inspiration is the sleek "uptown" soul music of the 1970s. Indeed, smooth yet earthy gems like "Heaven," "Looking for Your Love" and "Love Is All Around" sound like they could have been recorded 20 years earlier by the Emotions, Minnie Riperton or Jean Carn. Evans, an expressive and charismatic singer, is the daughter of jazz belter Mary Stallings, and her exposure to jazz has left is mark. The seductive "Reality," in fact, isn't unlike something jazz vibist turned soul and funk singer Roy Ayers would have done in the late '70s. But make no mistake: Evans is an R&B artist first and foremost. In contrast to the homogenized nature of so much of the urban contemporary music recorded in 1997, this CD sounds consistently organic and heartfelt.
Sadly people still don't know the greatness that is Adriana Evans decades later. Her music is truly heaven sent.
One of the best albums of all time! You can literally play it from beginning to end..no skipping tracks😍Adriana Evans is an underrated artist like many other REAL artists! She is the truth!!

This album dropped when I was 19 and 19 years later, still on my mind. Timeless

How are you doing today my name is Bryan
Love her Newer Stuff... All around under rated great Artist
beautiful cd from begining to end major
true
Takes me back to the late 1990s when neo-soul made uni days sweet! I felt like a music connoisseur introducing friends to this very special artist! Beautiful in every sense :)
An old boyfriend heard one of her CDs on someone's web page and he introduced me to her and I've been a fan every since. Thats was about 10 years ago. I've been waiting for her to blow up. I live in the DC area and would love to see her perform at a Blues Alley type of venue. I think she is up there with all of the ones signing today if not better then most. Let's just pray people come to their senses and get tired of listening to noice and pick up her CD. I will share her with my friends.
I love to step to this song, so smooth.
Thanks for this timeless piece... a voyage on keys, beats, winds, words, love...
U R Welcome My Pleasure
The way I WORE THIS CD OUT back in the day is INSANE!!!! Thank GOD I still have my original 1st printing of this GEM 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽♥️

Just another testiment of how unfair life can be sometimes. This sista' right heeere..!, is the BOMB! I'm a certified beathead/music junkie, and I never heard of her? I was "checkin' a vibe" ie. Dred Scott, and saw Adriana in the the sidebar and was like oohwee ;}~ she's fine! That afro is TIGHT! Well, I figure, let's give a listen. She had me from the first note! Talk about being slept on, cats was straight up comatose with Ms. Evans!!! I'm gonna buy all her sh..stuff asap ;}~ Peese!

I married the girl I met in college that turned me on to this song, some 21 years ago. Adriana's independent stuff is awesome as well. This is what a WOMAN sounds and sings like.

she not underrated they all love her.go to youtube and read.she play a role an a lot of rnb women singer.
just like rachelle ferrell
A timeless cut!!
Omg! I have missed this song!
This album was the reason I stopped subscribing to the Source Magazine in 1997. I picked up the CD and loved it, and those fools said the album was just "ok" and had mediocre production. I ended my subscription the day I read that. I think that was part of what stole her spotlight.
Great comment...and I respect your attitude toward that review.
Didn't Baduizm drop right around the same time?
She got that will downing thing going...
GREAT SONG AND LYRICS
I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE
THAT SHE DELIVERING, TO HER MAN
AND I CAN'T KEEP MY
MAN WAITNG EITHER

EXTRAORDINARY TALENT.
MARAVILHOSA!
