First Listen: ZanYé shakes up "Still Water" beautifully

Share this article

    ZanYé (pronounced: ZAHN-yay) means "God Is Gracious" and this Detroit singer has experienced that grace, even in tough times. Her prior release, Conversations, was about relationships - both good and bad; relationships with life, and romantic relationships - what it takes to stay in one, and keep the fire burning.

    On her upcoming third CD, Ballroom Paradise, ZanYe’s aim is to create songs that are upbeat, fun and soulful. Music that would make you want to get out of your seat and dance. She's changing the conversation once again, giving you tracks that bounce back and make you want to dance for the sheer joy of living and celebrating life.

    But the first release from the album is ZanYé’s spin on a classic. She takes on the Four Tops’ "Still Waters (Love)" and does it proud. And her version, called "Still Water (Runs Deep)" is our newest SoulTracks First Listen. The song will be released to online retail stores everywhere on August 28th.
