Marsha Ambrosiu

Marsha Ambrosius, the Liverpool born star, singer songwriter and former member of the English soulful duo Floetry has such a beautiful voice, I love her music and writing skills. She is set to release her first solo album Late Nights & Early Mornings on March 1st. Ambrosiu is signed to Dr Dre, Aftermath and has featured on so many songs and worked with so many artists such as Alicia Keys, Jamie Foxx, Styles P, Lil Wayne and Nas. 

Her new single Far Away has gained a lot of views and opinions, the video touches on  bullying, suicide and gay rights. She said she is glad that the video has gained media attention as these are areas that need more awareness. Ambrosius mentions that the song was written in 2008 when a close friend was going to commit suicide. She touches on how helpless she felt in this situation. 

She recently stated in an interview "The concept for 'Far Away' definitely wasn't unexpected for me as it was a personal experience that I'd had in writing the song. It came from a personal experience I was going through 'round about the time I wrote it, which is 2008, [when] a friend of mine attempted to commit suicide. Being a friend of someone that is in such a dark place, you can't be there for them as a friend because it's one of the most heart-wrenching things you can go through, not being able to help someone." She added "So a couple years later I get to do 'Far Away' for my album, and it felt only right to portray the story as it was in such an honest form. And I think many people that go through the same circumstance don't get to tell their story. And I think that's where, I guess, people are getting with the shock value; that I'm attacking a subject matter that's often shunned upon and overlooked. But it's happening to real people — it happened to a friend of mine — and I wanted to give that to those that don't have that voice."

The video shows Ambrosius hanging out with a man who can charm kids and grown men.The same man featured is shown holding hands in the park with his male lover, the kids' mother then choses not to let her children go near him, and the once friendly men in the park go in on him. Ambrosius' formerly happy and care free friend then ends up swallowing a bottle of pills. 

Check out the video below to 'Far Away' and the audio to 'I hope she cheats on you with a basketball player'. Her music is amazing.
