MUSIC: Carmen Reece

“My music makes you want to move but also moves you emotionally” ~ Carmen Reece

Says singer-songwriter-pianist Carmen Reece.” This ability to connect on a gut level with her listeners – whether she’s busting out a club bumper like “Right Here” or unwrapping a slow-burn piano ballad like “Long Goodbye” – is something she’s always admired in her heroes, powerhouse vocalists she calls “the divas.”

Carmen Reece has made waves with her debut single “Right Here” charting at #3 on the Billboard Top 40 Dance Chart and #10 on the Billboard Club Chart.



In fact, as she puts the finishing touches on her debut album, Love in Stereo, ground-floor fans are hailing HER as “Diva 2.0” and drawing comparisons to Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys and Beyoncé. That designation is bolstered by Carmen’s having been “discovered” by multiplatinum producer-songwriter Mark Feist, known for his work with the likes of Beyoncé, Céline Dion and Natalie Cole, among other game-changing singers.

“I’m hugely flattered when people mention me alongside those artists because they have not only incredible stage presence and technical ability, but they each have their own truly distinctive identity,” Carmen explains. “When you hear Mariah, for instance, you instantly know it’s Mariah. There’s no other voice like that. So, yes, I want to move you with my music, but I also want you to know that it’s ME who’s moving you.”
