requires you to stay focused, diligent
and disciplined…structured to where
you can maximize on absolutely
every opportunity. Transparent is life
changing if you allow it to be a part of
your life.
FV: Absolutely. The one thing that I’ve
taken away from that is sincerity. The
title of this album kind of piggy backs
off the title of the first album, From the
Heart To be transparent you have to
come from the heart. So how does
Transparent differ from your project,
From the Heart?
JR: It’s the same woman, she just
grew up. When From the heart came
out it was real time. It was written
in real time and it was sang in real
time. At that point in my life, I was
overwhelmed with gratitude and love
and “God thank you. I am just not
worthy of this.” And the woman that I
am now is extremely grateful, but for
other reasons now: God thank you for
keeping my mind, Thank you.. Wow
He (God) really heard me, Thank You
for still allowing me to represent you
in the best way possible. Thank you
God for this opportunity to start my
own company, even though everything
didn’t line up the way I saw and it kind
of destroyed me a little bit, but thank
you I’m an overcomer. My gratitude
is different. It’s full of experiences,
it’s full of real life “Wow God, I cannot
believe you saved my life again.” It’s
those moments…It’sFrom the Heart
on steroids. It’s to the maximum of
gratitude. It’s one of the most dear to
my heart.
collaboration, I’m definitely looking
forward to hearing that. So Jessica, at
the end of the day, What’s the overall
message that you want us to take away
from this album?
JR: To hold on. Tomorrow gets better,
and tomorrow may not be the 24-hour
later tomorrow. It may be a couple days
later, a couple months later but overall
it gets better. Through everything, don’t
let simple things throw you off balance.
Don’t give all your attention and energy
and passion and feelings to things that
you can just brush off. Let your life be
easy and lite, and let God carry the load.
God loves you, he absolutely adores
you. And for those who don’t speak to
Him much, He misses you.

FV: Who’s featured on the album?
JR: I have 3 features. I have a spoken
word artist by the name of Ezekial who
is amazing. He’s actually rapping on
this particular record, but his spoken
word is unheard of! Mali (Music) is
featured but you don’t know he’s
on the record because he’s singing
background on the record, so that was
a blessing and an honor in itself. And
then my mother, which was the ultimate
honor and privilege is also featured on
the record.
FV: Wow, a mother and daughter
