Sorry, She's Taken: Joyo Velarde

Mrs. Lyrics Born aka songstress Joyo Velarde aka the Chilla from Manila appears at 330 Ritch's Pacific Standard Time tonight to celebrate the release of her eponymous, digital-only EP, which officially hits iTunes today. Nepotism, shmepotism--even if she weren't betrothed to one of the founders of the Quannum label, Velarde would be a smart signee. Opratically-trained, versatile enough to cover R&B, soul, funk, house (and a bit of hip-hop) in her milieu, Velarde brings a whole lotta freshness to the urban music playing field. Also appearing: Portland rapper/producer Ohmega Watts (doing a DJ set) and resident groovester Sake One. Listen to an mp3 of Velarde's "Take You Home" here  or watch a video here.
