Throughout the years of music one thing that we have noticed that’s difficult to accept is change. When artists who have longevity with their music decide to try their hand at something different, we often have a hard time taking it in. In some cases we welcome it with open arms, but in others, we hate it.

This situation is no different for new artists coming in. With an industry that is always changing, it’s even more difficult for new artists to erupt onto the scene and break barriers, as did those before them. We all know how tricky and judgmental the rap industry is, but the same – if not more – can definitely be said for the R&B genre.

One artist who is doing a good job at defying the laws of acceptance with her diversity is up-and-coming songstress, Starshell. Signed to Mary J. Blige’s Matriarch record label, the gorgeous singer and songwriter has penned and co-penned tracks for an impressive roster of artists which includes Kanye West’s “Love Lockdown” and Mary J. Blige’s “Closer”.

Now, with her debut album Liberation slated to be released in the latter portion of this year, Starshell has been making even more noise than before. This Is RnB recently caught up with the Superluva singer to discuss her upcoming album, what’s next for her and the recent release of her new Birthday Girl clothing line.  Check out the interview below:
