This week’s That Grape Juice‘Cover Star‘ comes from soulful Youtube fashionista Shekia Renea. Watch as the US native takes on the task of Tamar Braxton‘s soaring new single ‘Love & War’ below (begins @ :15):
Sweet! The multi-talented Renea certainly put her stamp on the Braxton number. Showcasing a supple alto (more vocally reminiscent of Tamar’s eldest sibling Toni), Renea was able to capture the emotion of the song while still able to inject her own style into the R&B ballad. All in all, great work!
