Wicked Wisdom (Explicit)
About This Album
The entertainment world has had its share of actors who sang on the side (Cybill Shepherd) and singers who acted on the side (Frank Sinatra), and there is nothing wrong with moonlighting in another area of entertainment as long as the person is actually good at it. Shepherd is a decent (although not breathtaking) jazz and traditional pop singer, and Sinatra's riveting portrayal of a heroin-addicted musician in 1955's film noir classic The Man with the Golden Arm made it clear that even though singing was his primary focus, he also had serious acting ability. On the other hand, some excellent actors proved to be weak, flat, unimpressive singers (Eddie Murphy, for example), but if Wicked Wisdom's self-titled debut album is any indication, singing is definitely something that Jada Pinkett Smith, aka Jada Koren, should continue to do. Although Smith (Wicked Wisdom's founder/lead vocalist) is best known for her acting, she shows herself to be an expressive, commanding singer. Some folks might expect a woman who married Will Smith, aka the Fresh Prince, to focus on R&B or hip-hop but, in fact, the material on this 33-minute CD is forceful alternative metal with a funk-soul edge.
