[EXCLUSIVE] Marsha Ambrosius: ‘I’m Responsible For Making Very Sensually Charged Music’

R&B singer and songwriter Marsha Ambrosius is continuing to have a spectacular year since releasing her debut album ‘Late Nights, Early Mornings’ back in March. After making headlines and stirring up a frenzy with her video for “Far Away,” which enforces the acceptance of homosexuality, Marsha has done it again with her latest video for “Late Nights & Early Mornings.” Though the video has led to some more strong reactions, the singer explains to Singersroom that she was simply “stating the obvious” that many of us seem to overlook or forget.

“‘Late Nights & Early Mornings’ is a video that attacks the obvious. It’s something near and dear to me, and I’m responsible for making very sensually charged music. So my only thing is, I would have a million dollars for everyone that told me they would make babies or something off of my music. And I was like, ‘Is no one having protected sex out here?! What the hell?!’ the songstress jokes.

“So I did my video, which states the obvious, like some people don’t know their status. The feedback for the video was like ‘I can’t believe you slept with guy, knowing he had…’ Well what if you didn’t know? Some people are genuinely not conscious of what’s going on with themselves, don’t get checked, don’t get tested. So I was just stating the obvious.”

As for her songwriting, Marsha also takes from real life situations too. “Life gets me going as far as what I want to write about and how I attack the next song,” Marsha says. “There’s too much to be inspired by. I just go with it, and let my pen do the talking.” Most recently, Marsha performed a tribute to Patti LaBelle at the 2011 BET Awards, which she has mentioned to be an inspirational experience.

Currently, she is pegged as an opening act, alongside singer Keyshia Cole, to R&B legend R. Kelly’s “Love Letters” tour to promote her latest project. In the case if there will be any future collaborations with either singers, Marsha definitely won’t call it. She insists that all her past collaborations “just happened organically,” and she’s more interested in where the path of life will take her.

Marsha Ambrosius has been captivating listeners with her soulful, sensual music for over a decade. With classics like “Far Away” and “Hope She Cheats On You (With A Basketball Player)”, it’s no wonder she’s gone on to become one of the most celebrated contemporary R&B singers in the game. In this exclusive interview, we get an inside look at what drives Marsha’s songwriting process, as well as how she creates those unmistakable sounds that have made her a household name.

Marsha Ambrosius has come a long way since her days performing with Floetry back in 2001 – selling out shows across Europe and having hits sampled by rap royalty such as Drake and Jay-Z. But even after all this success, she still remains humble about her achievements: “I feel like I’m just getting started,” she said during our conversation. It was clear from speaking with her that making music is more than just a profession; it’s a passion which oozes through every lyric and melody.

When asked why so many of her songs are infused with so much emotion and sensuality, there was no hesitation in Marshas response: “It’s my responsibility to make sure people can feel something when they listen to my music.” And there you have it – straight from the source! Read on to find out more about Marsha Ambrosius’ musical journey, writing process and thoughts on creating meaningful artistry in today’s industry.
