The very lovely Queen of Lover's Rock Marcia Ball

The MMB team has caught up with a very busy Marcia Ball who graced us with a few quick moments of her time to sit down and have a quick chat with us in between her on stage performances  [One coming up this Saturday where she will be joined with another MMB favorite King Banton ] and dropping new releases whom we all are enjoying listening to  on our favorite REGGAE RADIO STATIONS like Shyrick Dancehall Radio ( www.shyrick.com)

MMB: Marcia congratulations Marcia and thank you for tasking this time to chat with us. Your career is going strong,  we hear your tunes being played all over the radio like on Shyrick Dance Hall Radio,  Lover's Rock Radio ,  Fyah-Angel Radio,  just to mention a few... but there's many more DJ's around the world picking up your vibe and spreading it on the airwaves.  Tell us about what your plans are next career wise to keep this fire blazing?

MARCIA BALL:  I would love to continue in the music industry and possibly make it a full time career , it is a passion that has continued through out my entire life. My next career choice would be what I am doing now: a Medical Transcriptionist, with my sights on eventually owning my own business.

MMB: We heard in the wind that a new Marcia Ball CD release is on the way, and I have to tell you, we're excited to hear about this!  My favorite was   "Unveiled" ( you can pick up a copy here: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/unveiled/id408018530 )   which  was released back in 2011.  Can you give us a little taste on what to expect from this new release? 

MARCIA BALL: Well the newest album I have presently out is HELLO WORLD which is now being played globally. It is available on sale on itunes ( https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/hello-world/id705974660 ), amazon, google music and all over the internet.  

The new album I am presently working on is more like a "Marcia Ball Sings the Hits From the Past," It will be a collection of an "oldies but goodies" kind of album. I am excited about it because I will be singing some songs from some of my favorite artists such as Mary Wells, Nancy Wilson and so forth. And that is just a bit of what's to come!

MMB: When do you figure  we can start looking for it on iTunes?

MARCIA BALL:  You look for it on iTunes maybe late 2015, it depends on how the schedule is around doing shows and touring.

MMB: Any final words before we let you get back to your busy day ?
