My Fault by Leaf Newman

Some of you really faithful When We Speak TV supporters may remember that our very first interview was with Leaf Newman, formerly of BET singing competition, Welcome To Dreamland.  Do you remember that show?  Basically, the show paired up singers into two teams and each team had a music producer (Drumma Boy and Jazze Pha).  From there the best girl on each team would compete to become the Queen of Dreamland.....
....Leaf was on Drumma Boy's team and won the competition in the end. 

FAST FORWARD
After much anticipation, Leaf has finally released her Flowers and Grass independently and When We Speak TV was in the building for the album release, held in a beautiful loft in Atlanta.  The event was so nice and the Leaf's fashion totally represented the Leaf Newman that we know and love.

A wonderfully eclectic blend of jazz, rock, pop and r&b floating on honey vocals and life healing lyrics. With contributions from Andrew DeBarge (El DeBarge’s Nephew), Ryan Waters (Sade’s lead guitarist) and versatile producer Jabari Thomas Taylor, “Flowers and Grass,” is MUSIC YOU CAN BREATHE

  Here's just a snippet of Leaf's song, My Fault, off the album.  Be sure to purchase online at:

Tony Momrelle- "All I Need" Official Music Video

We absolutely adore the sound of British singer, Tony Momrelle.  He is a great vocalist and has also been on a guest on When We Speak!

Hailed as the ‘Stevie Wonder of the 21st century’ and one of the most significant musicians on the modern stage, Tony Momrelle is taking us into summer with his stunning new single ‘All I Need’. This track is a soulful and uplifting romantic song celebrating the power of love, to be released July 15th. The single package will includes stunning remixes of ‘All I Need’ by Reel People.

‘All I Need’ is an uplifting song about being down and out of love, but always believing there is light at the end of the tunnel once meeting that special someone.’

Tony Momrelle is set to support ‘Earth, Wind & Fire’ this summer in London, Bournemouth and Liverpool. For a man who never really set his sights on the music industry, Tony Momrelle is one of the UK’s hottest names on the British soul scene. Not only is he one of the most significant and exciting soulful singer songwriters in the country, he is respected for working with only the best in the business. Toured and recorded with Sade, fronted Incognito, Tony released his second single ‘This Could Be Us’ from his second album ‘Keep Pushing’ in February which made the Radio 2 playlist.

At 18 Tony was on a Youth Training scheme in the car industry to which singing was only really a side-line. Thankfully he took a detour and randomly ended up in a studio in Barnes to sing back up for Gloria Estefan. From that moment on Tony never looked back. Tony’s effortless, rich vocals have featured on tracks by amazing artists such as Whitney Houston, Sir Elton John, Gary Barlow, Celine Dion and Sade whom he has had a long standing relationship with since 2001.





Tony is an integral member of Sade’s band and featured heavily on her last album “Soldier of Love". As well as co-writing a song on her album” The Ultimate Collection” he sang a duet “Baby Father" which was Grammy™ nominated for Best Duet.


Sade On Tony Momrelle:

"THE WORLD IS DEFINITELY A BETTER PLACE WITH TONY MOMRELLE IN IT. FOR THE
FEELING HE CONJURES WHEN YOU HEAR HIM SING AND THE PERSON HE IS."

Currently Tony is fully focused on his own music and 2016 has already proved to be a very exciting time. His ‘Friday night is music night’ performance from Cheltenham Jazz Festival (live on Radio 2) received a fantastic reaction as well as his sell out solo show on the Sunday night. Tony is thrilled to be supporting the legendary Earth Wind & Fire across three dates this summer as well as releasing his emotional, uplifting new single All I Need’.

‘Making this record has been a journey of the soul. I wanted to have a record that people would connect with but more importantly a record that would uplift and encourage people. For this reason I entitled it Keep Pushing. The message being to keep moving forward despite what issues or troubles we may have in our lives’.

UK's Tony Momrelle comes to Atlanta!!!

FROM THE THOUGHTS OF JERMAINE SAIN:

What I am slowly learning is that everything that we want may not always come in the package that we prefer!  I know you are probably wondering, “..what in the world is he talking about?” Well, here’s why I say that.  

As a talk show host, I’m always having meetings about who I would like to have on When We Speak, how I can reach out to them, and who would be the best guest for the platform.  One particular evening I had a meeting about a particular artist and the team agreed that I should reach out.  This was perfect because this artist would be our first artist outside of the US.  But when I reached out to management, they declined my interview.  I remember being so torn and hurt.  It wasn’t like I hadn’t been turned down in the past but I really liked this artist’s music and thought they would be an awesome addition.  Eventually, I got over my heartbreak and once again continued to interview…….Then, one morning as I was reading emails I got a message about interviewing Tony Momrelle on the show.  Tony Momrelle is a British singer who lives in the UK!!!

Words can’t explain the amount of excitement that came over me… And when he and I meet it was SUPER, we had such a good time and Tony was so honest, open, and cool.  And he was indeed the perfect artist to make When We Speak officially international…..  So now I say again, “everything that we want may not always come in the package that we prefer.” 

Who is Tony Momrelle?

TONY MOMRELLE is an R&B soul singer/songwriter, one of the most exciting and significant musicians on the modern British stage.

Tony has toured with some of the greatest artists in the world, including Elton John, Gloria Estefan, Celine Dion, Janet Jackson, Sade, Gary Barlow, Andrea Bocelli, Gwen Stefani, Gabrielle, Robert Palmer, Beautiful South, Gospel music group SEVEN and many more!


Tony's success in touring impressed the frontman of famous British Acid-Jazz band Incognito, Bluey Maunick, who offered him the job as the lead male vocalist. He has since travelled the world with Incognito on various stages for 10 years.

Before his stint in the world renowned Incognito, Tony was a solo recording artist, releasing two studio albums under his name.  

Music critics such as John Rockwell and Paul Morley consider Momrelle as the new Stevie Wonder of the 21st century, because of his similarity to the music legend's vocal vibe. While on tour with Incognito in Japan, Tony got a surprise phone call from Stevie Wonder himself, who said he loved his voice and was a fan of the band.

Through the years, Tony has contributed vocals to many albums, including Sade's Lovers Live and Soldier Of Love; Incognito's Stranger Than Fiction, Who Needs Love, Adventures In Black Sunshine, Eleven, Bees+Things+Flowers, Tales From The Beach, & Transatlantic Rpm; Terry Callier's Speak Your Peace and Total Recall; Aaron Carter's Most Requested Hits and Another Earthquake; Ski Oakenfull's Rising Son and many more!
