R&B and soul singer-songwriter Amira B showcases a noteworthy vocal talent in her new album, Defined. Backed by a soul/funk group featuring also a fierce brass section, the vocalist delivers dazzling soul tracks worthy of FM radio rotation, like intimate single “I am Defined,” which expresses her self-discovery through personal hardships. Amira B landed a residency at Pianos during the month of July (every Tuesday), which is always a promising sign. – Tafari Lemma
