Tanya Stephens

"If you're listening to track one, you're evidence that the Rebelution has begun," Tanya Stephens announces on the opening track to her fifth studio release. While it's easy to dismiss such braggadocio fluff from many of Stephens' dancehall contemporaries, the record that follows--written entirely by Stephens--is an effort of revolutionary, rebellious ideas that proves she's the genre's most powerful female talent. From the slamming grind of "My Name is Tanya" to the slow-jamming "These Streets," Stephens is at the top of her game.
