Let´s start the day with some smooth Neo-Soul by Los Angeles-based vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Brenda Carsey. “Just Trying To Do My Thing” is the 1st single of Brenda Carsey’s upcoming full-length studio album “Cognizance”.
An R&B, Neo-Soul track that celebrates the beauty of being true to yourself even in the face of judgment, pressure, and uncertainty. Step outside and express yourself and keep shining your unique self out into the world!
