New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Award-winning Chicago-based neo-soul R&B artist Raja-nee� summons audiences to �Come Get This Love� in this, her fiery, romantic, and enticing new video and single.
The four-minute, 30 second-spanning tune features musicians John �The Saint� Morris and Wilfred �Nenja� Frelix, and is driven by an undeniably funky, yet subtle bass track before its topped off with a steady, calming drum beat - all of which perfectly complements the soothing delivery of Raja-nee��s romantic vocal phrases.
The romantic elements are not just reminiscent of some of the singer�s earliest material from back in the day, but much of the music from the 1970s R&B scene too. �I�m patiently waiting for you to take me away from here,� sings the veteran neo soul artist � born Renee Knott-Freeman � in the opening line. �It�s driving me crazy, anticipating how you�ll hold me so near.�
On top of Raja-nee��s lust-filled and poetic lyrics, listeners are treated to the smooth sounds of a classic pop piano, which is layered with a plethora of buttery, bluesy guitar licks. The best part, perhaps? It�s only one taste of Raja-nee��s forthcoming studio album, The Sovereign of 14742 � which drops this May.
On the concept of The Sovereign of 14742, Raja-nee� revealed it�s a simple dedication to her mother and father. �14742 is the address of my childhood home,� she shares. �Out of nine children, I am the youngest and was deemed as spoiled � or the �Sovereign.��

Raja-nee' began singing in church at the mere age of five. As an emerging talent, her voice was recognized by Marshall Thompson of Chicago�s infamous Chi-Lites, and his mentorship helped develop her craft and stage presence.

Eternity" garnering top spots on overseas radio stations.
