ZETA SOROR, SYLEENA JOHNSON'S, NEW ALBUM "REBIRTH OF SOUL"

Check out "Rebirth of Soul", the new album from Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Soror and accomplished singer, songwriter and actress, Syleena Johnson. According to Syleena, this album is "dedicated to Soul Music & Artists of the past." The album is definitely an ode to the heavyweights of Soul music with covers of songs like Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools" and Jackie Wilson's "Lonely Teardrops". Syleena's rendition of each song is refreshing while still maintaining the old school magic that the original songs possessed. "Rebirth of Soul" is sure to bring back special memories for older listeners while introducing younger listeners to the music that stirred the souls of previous generations.
