Martha Wash’s (entrepreneur, singer, producer) new album, Love & Conflict, promises to take fans in a fascinating and perhaps unexpected new direction. Released by Ms. Wash’s label, Purple Rose Records, this eclectic collection of mesmerizing blues-rock and adult contemporary songs is a stylistically adventurous journey for the legendary two-time Grammy-nominated singer. She began her musical career at the age of two in her parents’ church in San Francisco and has been lifting the spirits of audiences for decades. Initially at the forefront of the disco movement of the late ’70s, performing powerful background vocals for the iconic, flamboyant star Sylvester of “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” fame, Martha went on to storm the ’80s as one half of The Weather Girls with their platinum hit “It’s Raining Men” and as the voice of "Strike It Up" and "Everybody Everybody." The ’90s moved Martha’s already prolific career into high gear with her awe-inspiring recording of “Sweat (Everybody Dance Now),” the highlight of C&C Music Factory’s career, which sold 5 1/2 million copies worldwide. The new captivating album, Love & Conflict is a winner, and Martha Wash is ready to give it to you!
