Powerful. Riveting. Sultry. Mere words can only capture the refrain of her awesome talent. She is the ballad of beauty and elegance. The melodies flowing from the petite vocalist are truly amazing. While casting a spellbinding smile, she mesmerizes her captive audience with incredible harmonies and rhythms.
Howell's signature film performance as the choir soloist in the movie, "The Color Purple", was quoted by one critic as being "one of the movie's most stirring moments!" Her rendition of "God Is Tryin' To Tell You Something" was memorable for all who witnessed it, but the offerings of the all-grown-up Maria are truly unforgettable, eliciting stirring moments, one after another.
Her music combines sounds such as R&B with jazzy punctuations, she's confident in her own groove.
