▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Trina Broussard is the real and down to ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ earth girl next door who just so happens ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ to have a voice as powerful as an R&B ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ diva. Her debut album, Same Girl (Motown ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Records) produced by Gordon ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ "Commissioner" Williams (Lauryn Hill, ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Santana), Jamey Jazz, Steve Harvey (not ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ the comedian) and Trina herself, is a ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ blend of southern backyard soul and sassy ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ northern attitude. Her smooth, milky ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ vocals warmed by a comforting blanket ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ of harmony infuse every note on the ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ 12-track CD will leave the listeners ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ feeling as if theyÆve just been hanging ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ out with a good friend. ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Influenced by her mother, who sang ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ jazz, her father who played guitar for ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ several big bands, Anita Baker, Stevie ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ Wonder and Donny Hathaway, Trina, a ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Houston, TX native began pursuing a ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ music career in 1990 after relocating to ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ Atlanta, GA. It wasnÆt long before the new ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ girl in town wooed some of the biggest ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ names in R&B with her talent and ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ skills. "I sang background vocals for ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Bobby Brown, Pebbles, Babyface, Mariah ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Carey, Toni Braxton and Be Be & Ce Ce ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ Winans when I moved to Atlanta," says ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ Broussard. Through her association with ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ Trey Lorenz, she began writing and then ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ later signed with So So Def. Her single ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ "Inside My Love" received heavy radio ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ airplay and was featured on the 1997 ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ platinum-selling Love Jones movie ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ soundtrack. In 1998, Broussard ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ co-wrote the Queen of Soul Aretha ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ FranklinÆs hit record "Here We Go ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Again," and also released her own single ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ "Love You So Much" the following year. ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Unfortunately, her album was never ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ released. "I was disappointed that we ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ had got to the threshold and somehow ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ things just didnÆt work out," recalls ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Trina. ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Broussard remained focused and ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ continued to persevere. In 2002, she ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ signed with Motown Records. While ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ recording her album Same Girl she ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ continued to experience life's curve ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ balls. "I needed to make an album that ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ represented me. IÆm the same girl that ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ goes through ups and down, IÆm the same ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ girl that can relate to anything on ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ every level from weight issues to man ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ issues and not come out defeated," says ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Trina. Her voyage through the making of ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ the album was co-navigated by writing ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ partner and friend Ra-Re Valverde. ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ "æJoyÆ was one of the first songs that ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ we wrote together for the album," Trina ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ recalls of the uplifting, mid tempo, 80Æs ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ soul inspired track. ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ The album is charismatic and ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ affectionately touches on several ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ close-to-heart topics with bravery ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ seldom present in current R&B music. ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ Whether she is pouring her heart out on ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ "Will Things Ever Be The Same" or ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ exuding pure cathartic emotion on "I ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ Never Thought," there is no denying ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ Broussard gets to the heart of ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ situations many women go through. The ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ jazzy, dramatic "Just Another Way" ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ mirrors a past period of her life and ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ is sung with fierce conviction. "It was ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ perfect timing, perfect lyrics and a ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ perfect story." ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ An inspiring story of perseverance it ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ is. Same Girl clearly puts her in a ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ category of her own. "I try to bring the ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ reality of who I am to what I do as a ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ woman... I just want to put good songs ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ out there." ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ Trina Broussard reclaims her spot as a ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ high priority on the list of ones to ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ watch and the one to root for because ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
