"Naomi Shelton wields her blunt voice with no-nonsense passion, marking her as an heir to the late gospel great Dorothy Love Coates"
-- NPR

"If Gospel is a great American art form, Naomi Shelton should be considered a national treasure" -- Washington Post Express

"Naomi Shelton's broad muscular voice gives the gospel-infused soul songs she sings impossible weight -- sometimes it feels as if they could deflect a bullet"
--The New York Times

"What Have You Done" Directed by Philip Di Fiore




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Naomi Shelton is no ordinary gospel singer. Though she, like many others, grew up singing with her sisters in their Alabama church, she has also spent much of her life in the soul clubs around New York, and her 45s, “41st St. Breakdown” and “Wind Your Clock” b/w “Talking ‘Bout a Good Thing,” have long been revered and prized by funk DJs around the globe. Now, with her first official full-length release coming this May, it’s clear that her singing is equally influenced by both facets of her life. This is soul music – informed by the church, perhaps, but soul music nonetheless, relatable to all. Which means that What Have You Done, My Brother?, an uplifting record that conveys Naomi’s energy, her excitement, her love of music, her compassion, is no ordinary album.

Hi Naomi and the Gospel Queens!

I saw you in concert in New York City on Valentine's Day at the Nokia Theater when you opened up for Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. You were so amazing and I loved all the songs, the great energy and all the ladies on stage who were all given equal turns at singing solo with various songs.

Just wonderful. I'm looking forward to buying your cd's like I did with Sharon's and hopefully will find them soon.
