(July 25, 2019) Grammy Award winning and Tony Award nominated singer Danielle Brooks has emerged as an artist to watch. We’d been hearing buzz about her for awhile, and the rest of the world is catching up now that her music is being featured in the Netflix series Orange Is The New Black, where she also stars as Tasha "Tastee" Jefferson.
The singer and songwriter’s insightful lyrics are typified by her brand new single, “Seasons.” Danielle says "I wrote the song for my Orange girls and built the song's story by trying to incorporate as many of their names that I could. We are a family and this song is my gift to them in honor of the love they have shown me and lifelong sisterhood we built together."

“Seasons” is part of the brand new four-track EP Four, which also includes the underground hit "Black Woman," which was released earlier this year, and plays homage to the power of being a beautiful, strong black woman. There isn't a bad cut on the EP, and it really serves as a great popular coming out for Danielle.
“Seasons” is our newest First Listen. Check it out below and welcome this talented young artist to SoulTracks!
