I downloaded Leslie Brown's debut 5-song EP, "Disarmed & Dangerous" several weeks ago and it hasn't left my player since. Her story-telling is a both beautiful and funky blend of jazzy sex-appeal, and bluesy-bliss. Listening to her music can easily throw the listener back to a '40s smoky jazz bar while still keeping up with modern trends. Her use of seductive piano and trumpet arrangements, and sultry shoo-bop backing vocals are sure to be placing her top of the charts in the near future.
Starting out the EP with "Gone" and "Lost", she laments of being alone and missing her love. These two songs, while being mellow, are still very catchy and the listener can easily relate to her message. With the song "Change", she turns things up a bit with a more modern R&B hook.
"Disarmed" is her recognition of a lady's ability to melt a man's soul. With rolling melodies, through both the lyrics and music, she captures that feeling of first recognizing love.
She closes the album with the song "Dangerous" as she humorously tells-off a date who simply doesn't cut it for all the hoops she jumped through for him. This is a very fun and flirtatious spin about being under-appreciated.

While Leslie plays on her feminine strengths, she also proves herself as a stand-out lyricist, vocalist and pianist. In the jazz/R&B industry, Leslie Brown is a stellar force of her own creation.
