Biography
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 album, Divorcing Neo 2 Marry Soul, is appropriately titled because it not only rids her of the dreaded cloak of the manufactured category [tagneo-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.”
As such a profound talent, it’s hard to fathom that the world may never have received Jaguar’s gift of song. Reared in the church, Jaguar’s staunchly religious parents did not initially support their daughter’s dream of becoming a “secular” singer. But the R&B dynamo knew she had tapped into something powerful when she managed to convert the most unlikely of converts - her teacher mom and drug counselor father. “My parents wanted me to take the more traditional route…by becoming a litigator, doctor or a practitioner; a professor or a psychologist,” says Jaguar. “My father hated that I was singing. It drove him insane, and now he is biggest fan because I earned his respect. I proved that this is not a dream, this was not a fantasy— this is my life. Singing was my destiny, even before I was born.”

Such a classy singer, I just wonder why there are so few listeners? I was expecting to see several hundred thousand. And lots more posts than this.

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.
