        JULY 16,
2010 - Washington-based soul rock songstress TOMEKA WILLIAMS
delivers the sort of debut album that sets her apart from the rest of
those
divas that have followed the BEYONCE business model to a tee.
Her
SIR MIX-A-LOT produced
debut CD ‘THE BLACK
HOOD’ eschews the frills and the
benign pop psychological heartache that has come to typify much of the
current
pop set and embraces a rock sensibility that is all piss, vinegar and
passion. The
stand out track ‘HO’ (I’m hoping this is going to be the first single)
ain’t
sexual politics as usual. Armed with an irresistible groove and a
guitar riff
similar to BLACK SABBATH’s ‘IRON MAN’, WILLIAMS exposes the disparity
in a
relationship that isn’t going anywhere and proudly proclaims ‘I can’t
have game if I don’t play!’ ‘WHAT
SHE GAVE’ tells the story of a young woman’s loss innocence and trying
to carry
on despite having grown disillusioned by love. ‘HEROES’ is more than a
mere
song “for the troops”. On the plaintive ballad, she portrays the troops
as the complex
men and women that they are and not the G.I. JOE action figures that
you may
hear about in KID ROCK and TOBY KEITH songs. In
the gospel charged chorus, she pleads the
current president to bring these heroes home. YOU CAN

 ABOUT THE HOST:  BRiAN
LUSH (PROGRAM
PRODUCER / HOST)BRIAN
LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn’t
looked back
since.
From January 2005 to March 2009, LUSH was the host of the weekly
internet radio
show ROCKWIRED LIVE. He produced the program for the AMERICAN RADIO
NETWORK. As
the editor-in-chief for ROCKWiRED MAGAZiNE, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED’s
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE (but to a significantly lesser
degree).
“Those were the days before the internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable.” says LUSH “But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I’d be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I’m the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions.”
