Jessie Laine Powell feat Marion Meadows

‘Love Supreme’

The new release begins with featured Jazz saxophonist Marion Meadows, embracing us with a beautiful intro that breathes life into this melodic song. Jessie’s smooth and soulful voice, brings you into her world by examining a relationship based on a deeper love.  A love so great upon your first meeting, you feel that you already know the one you’re involved with.

The song is not only referencing a relationship on a spiritual level, but one where beautiful lyrics and smooth musicianship intersect. With “Love Supreme”, Jessie speaks of a relationship so awesome, that it can only come from up above. If you have the kind of relationship Jessie speaks of, be sure to treasure it, because nothing is promised.
