There are singers, and then there are sangers, and KeKe Wyatt has always been in a class of her own. FreddyO caught up with the R&B vocalist for a live performance of her fan favorite “Nothing In This World,” and the exclusive video is a reminder of why her voice has been respected in this business since she was a teenager. When KeKe opens her mouth, you do not just hear a song, you feel it.
KeKe first introduced herself to the world with her platinum-selling debut album Soul Sista in 2001, the same era that gave us her unforgettable duet with Avant. Raised singing in church in Indianapolis, she built her voice the old-fashioned way, and it shows in every run, every growl and every sky-high note she reaches without breaking a sweat. “Nothing In This World” has been a staple for her fans since those early days, and hearing her deliver it live, raw and unfiltered, is a completely different experience from the record.
What separates KeKe from so many of her peers is that she does not need a big production to make a moment. Give her a microphone and a room, and she will turn it into a concert and a church service at the same time. Her control, her emotion and the way she testifies through a lyric have made her one of the most in-demand live vocalists in R&B, and performances like this one are exactly why audiences across the country keep demanding to see her on stage.
With a brand new album on the way this year, KeKe Wyatt is reminding everybody that real singing is alive and well. Do yourself a favor and press play on the performance above, then tell a friend that one of the greatest voices of this generation is still out here giving it everything she has, every single time.
