Alfa Anderson, former member of the iconic funk soul band Chic ("Le Freak"," Good Times", "I Want Your Love"), will release her long-awaited debut solo album, Music From My Heart on July, 7, 2017. From My Heart spotlights an impressive range of songs that Alfa wrote and co-produced with the multi-talented Bert Price. The album's first single "When Luther Sings" features Alfa's rousing, heartfelt tribute to her longtime friend Luther Vandross, while powerful ballads like "Sending You Love" and sizzling club tracks like "Dancing Is My Release" add the exclamation point to Alfa's long-awaited solo debut.
"Music From My Heart is my first solo album. The only vision I had when I started this project was to write from the stillness of my mind and heart. As melodies and lyrics began to flow, I realized that I had plenty to say about life, about love, about friendship, about struggle, about coming to terms with who I am. Kudos to Producer/Arranger Bert Price who collaborated with me to complete Music From My Heart. I share it with you with love and big hugs."
Earlier this year, Anderson released a heartfelt tribute to her friend, Luther Vandross, with the release of the single, When Luther Sings. SoulTracks said of When Luther Sings, "The feeling is at once nostalgic and modern, providing a summery vibe that is sure to make listeners groove both in the car and on the dance floor." For years, Anderson was an integral member of Vandross' touring band and performed at Wembley Stadium, among many other prestigious venues around the world. Her vocals can be heard on popular Vandross albums such as Give Me the Reason and The Night I Fell in Love, which Rolling Stone Magazine voted as one of the 100 Best Albums of the Eighties.
A celebrated R&B and dance music icon, Anderson first starred in Julian "Canonnball" Adderley's "Big Man" at
Carnegie Hall before defining a whole new era in music as one of the original lead vocalists in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-nominated group CHIC. Her voice powered classics like "I Want Your Love" and the #1 pop hits "Good Times" and "Le Freak," which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. During her years as a New York session singer and touring vocalist, she sang background for music icons like Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Mick Jagger,
Valerie Simpson, Bryan Ferry, and Teddy Pendergrass. She recently guested on the first CHIC single in 23 years "I'll Be There" (2015) and scored a Top 10 Billboard Dance hit as a featured vocalist on Next Step's single with Kathy Sledge and Aristofreeks, "Get On Up" (2016).
