Written and directed by Ian Ellis James (aka William Electric Black), Subway Story (A Shooting) shows all the living poetry among all the frustration of what seems like any other subway ride in New York. It also reveals to us that there is truly no average subway ride in New York.
The center of this particular subway ride is Chevonn (Sarah Shah), a teenager who needs to write an essay in order to advance to the 12th grade, according to her teacher Mr. Evers (Levern Williams). She chooses to write about all the people she encounters on the subway on the day she decides to buy a gun to kill her mother (Jacqueline Nwabueze). - Saima Huq (STAGE BUDDY)
"In the crowded club DROM in the downtown section of Manhattan a certain voice elevated the audience with elegance and style. It was the vocal chords of a shining star sprouting to spread her wings even wider. Sarah Shah’s star is rising as she has cemented her name and music with many fans across America.
Once you are a witness to her voice that is not only sensual but is complimented by its range and delivery you would be hooked. Sarah from a young girl has always gravitated to music in all its forms. At first..." - Nick Christophers (The Lifestyle Republic)

ROCK MEETS RNB IN TOURNESOUL’S LATEST SINGLE “SILK SHEETS”
Posted on 19th December 2019
Soaring riffs and soulful RnB combine in up and coming artist Tournesoul’s latest single “Silk Sheets” which dropped on September 7th.
Tournesoul has revived the 90s RnB style with a brand-new approach to the genre by merging some of the fiercest elements of rock with some of the most rhythmic romantic elements of RnB.
I can safely say that Silk Sheets was the first RnB track which offered a jaw-drop moment through the instrumentals match the same level of nuance found in the vocals. And thanks to the effeminately empowering lyrics, Silk Sheets moves away from the usual forlorn narrative often found in RnB. Instead, you’ll hear lyrics which affirm its wholly possible to maintain class and hold romantic affection.
You can check out the official music video to Tournesoul’s latest single Silk Sheets for yourselves via YouTube.
