NEW MUSIC | Bianca Raquel – “Mista Tin Man”

Bianca Raquel is indeed a rising talent among the new wave of singer/songwriters. I’ve called her a one woman dynamo before and she continues to live up to such billing. As promised, on the 21st of each month she unveils a new song. Her latest release “Mista Tin Man”  is a clever play on the character who doesn’t have a heart. Surely her best vocal performance to date. Bianca is delivering all the goods with this-  transparent, gifted, and burning with promise, if you have yet to indulge in Bianca Raquel, the time is now.

Also be sure to check out our interview with the lady herself and also her recent performance at Drom in New York.
