Returning to the airwaves after an impressive breakthrough in 2021, rising R&B star Jade Latrice once again demonstrates why she is one of the genre’s prime candidates to take over the airwaves in 2022 and beyond. ‘Somebody To Somebody’ premieres on January 28th, 2022, and comes hot off the heels of her prior release, ‘Make It Home’, which went on to chart at #7 on the Digital Radio Tracker charts.
