Former MTV VJ Ananda Lewis is releasing an album!

Ananda Lewis, former MTV VJ, is releasing an album according to Vibe magazine. This is awesome and shocking. I never imagine her as a singer. She already recorded 6 songs with 13 more to go. I think it's all those years of interviewing musicians that gave Ananda the dream and push to record an album of her own. She has a lot to sing about. "Former MTV/BET VJ Ananda Lewis is no stranger to radio – she hosted a Los Angeles morning show with John Salley -, but this time, she plans on being on the other end of the Mic. She recently revealed to Vibe.com her affinity for singing and discusses her goal to release her own album next year.
“I’m projecting for April, but we’ll see what happens because it’s really about my own schedule," said the California native during a Vibe.com interview. "I’ve had a lot of great lessons in the TV field and now I feel like I’m getting a chance to experience myself.
"I cannot tell you how excited I am about it.”
Lewis, who never even considered exploring her vocal talents until just a few moths ago, says friend Dwayne Wiggins of the famed group Tony! Toni! Tone!, was the one who urged her to write and sing. “I started vocal classes to condition my voice. I ain’t no R&B Whitney Houston type – I ain’t blowing people out the water but that’s not my voice. My voice is much more of an alternative hip hop.” Lewis describes the rush she got once she broke through her fear of singing in front of an audience, explaining, “I feel like my head opened up like a lid and stuff just poured through. There’s been things I’ve been waiting to say or things I’ve been holding in that all just started coming out. "I’m at about 6 songs right now and when I hit 13, I’ll just try to perfect them and put them out. There are no limitations. I think people are ready for different music.” {Source}

I don't know why she would want to do that...she is really intelligent, I would like to see more of that....this is such a disappointment.

I want to hear how she sounds like

So she's not being intelligent by using her other talents? What kind of nonsense is that?

Ananda was close friends with Aaliyah. I do not think it's necessary to downplay her intelligence. I think this may be the smartest career move Ananda can make. I'm looking forward to hear her sing.
