The sultry voice of Alice Smith has been separated from the masses for the last seven years. The DC-born singers' initial resonance began with the debut album For Lovers, Dreamers, and Me in 2006, to critical acclaim and a Grammy Nomination for "Dream" in the category "Best Urban/Alternative." Alas her musical journey took a while to continue, as life happened and she was blessed with a daughter.
