Rachelle Ferrell performed at the
Birchmere in Alexandria¸VA on Friday and Saturday evenings to a packed, and pleased Birchmere house.
The seasoned performer delighted the
audience with her classic, memorable tunes like ‘I’m Special’ and ‘Back to Me’
while providing the audience with a glimpse of her upcoming CD that is yet to
be titled.Asking the audience to be patient
Ferrell said, “I’m three-quarters of the way done, so please continue to hold
on.”
‘Holding on’ won’t be a problem for
fans who have followed Ferrell for nearly two decades.
Ferrell shared with the audience that her upcoming work will enlist the help of several classic R& B performers to include: Ledisi, Rahsaan Patterson, Kenny Lattimore, and Layla Hathaway.
Hathaway, the daughter of the late,
great Donny Hathaway, has collaborated with Ferrell before, most notably on the
tune, ‘Love Is All Around’.
Ferrell’s vocal range and pitch makes
any song sound ‘special’, even the classic Happy
Birthday tune.
“Heard it’s your birthday”, sang
Ferrell. “Heard it’s your birthday”. “Heard it’s your birthday.” “Wanna say, Happy Birthday.”
Ending the song, and making it her
own, Ferrell enlisted the call and response of the audience with a “Party over
here” , “Party over there” ending.
