Alex Nester | Rattle The Walls


Listen to “Sir Stevie” from the “Rattle The Walls” Album on our New Voices of Today Page by clicking here!!

Even though Teena Marie still rules the charts, as being what we consider respectfully the lady of “Blue Eyed Soul”, and she has made her mark in the R&B world….There are countless other that are trying to get to that coveted spot.  Alex Nester poses a severe threat to the entire genre that is trying to make it to the top. Alex’s newest effort “Rattle The Walls” does exactly that with this gospel, rock, r&b, funk cd. Alex has all the bases covered, especially with the a-list musicians she has incorporated: From Alphonse Mouzon, Eric Marienthal, Brandon Fields, & Zoro, to the last track featuring the Motown Legends -The Four Tops.

Singing professionally since the age of nine, her resume already includes 12 albums, countless jingles, and over 25 theatrical productions, as well as working with top musicians.

The album starts off with a Gospel styled song call “Unique” and continues throughout with different styles of music. Track 8, “Sir Stevie” is a funk infused production dedicated to the legend himself -Stevie Wonder.

The last track of the amazing cd is the Motown Classic “Can’t Help Myself”, featuring the Four Tops, and it’s a beautiful version.
