Jaguar Wright is a soul/R&B vocalist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is part of the Okayplayer collective.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially in the case of fiery Philadelphia chanteuse Jaguar Wright. As notorious for her impassioned, spine-tingling vibrato as she is for her show-stealing performance at Jay-Z´s 1999 MTV Unplugged concert with The Roots, Jaguar is the quintessential soul maven. Her sophomore debut, “Divorcing Neo to Marry Soul,” is appropriately titled because it not only rids her of the dreaded cloak of the manufactured category “neo-soul,” but represents her musical and personal emancipation. “I am truly divorcing everything from before to start fresh and new,” says Jaguar, a married mother of two. “The title lets everyone know I´m divorcing the hype to marry the real. I don´t sell anything else but me, or what I believe in or feel. I am finally free to do me, free to do my work.”
Through song Jaguar has mastered the art of expressing the ying-yang of raw emotion that is sometimes emotional and resolute in its convictions. The premiere single, the mid-tempo “Free,” is an impassioned cry to a jaded former lover who begs to be let out of their relationship. The Philly soul maven´s vocal prowess goes undeterred as she bellows the heartfelt confessional “Woman to Woman,” a remake to the 1974 classic by Shirley Brown. “I wanted to revamp it and make it more current. The world has degenerated and changed a great deal since then. I wanted to tell the story of the woman-to-woman song for my generation.”

Hm, Yes...xD Fourth then. Even though she said it would be more of an EP, which is cool. I almost saw her live once @_@ but I was in the wrong city at the time ungh.

She has three albums already..you must mean a fourth. She's great though. I remember a couple years back when my little heart was broken..she made me feel better. Damn that neosoul shit cause she sings the blues like no other in this decade.

She has two singles out already. Beautiful is reminiscent of Flower, yet less filial and more romantic in content I'd say. And Surely Shawty is pretty close to bordering the generic club sound, but Jaguar Wright's voice serves as the main distinguishing point.

She's supposedly working on a third album and a possible live album now. No word on when it may be released though.

She is certainly groovy. No more albums I take it? Denials, Delusions and Decisions was my favorite, I bumped that album for so long. Hopefully she's not done with music.
