Pittsburgh’s award-winning “Lady Of The Blues”, was influenced by the likes of Koko Taylor, Etta James, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Big Mama Thornton, Bessie Smith, and “Big” Al Leavitt, under whose direction she has worked in BMW (Blues Music Works). Miss Freddye has played in, and founded, various groups, including Blue Faze, Miss Freddye’s Blues Band (electric blues) and Miss Freddye’s Homecookin Band.
Aside from her music, Miss Freddye has also been lauded for her dedication to charity work, as well as her sensibilities towards homeless veterans and domestic violence. Her latest single, “Wade In The Water” is from her forthcoming gospel album, scheduled for 2021 release.
This is a mature Miss Freddye bringing you a soulful approach to praise and worship. Miss Freddye is using a nuanced more classical bluesy vocal on this track. This gives listeners a sophisticated aspect of her vocal ability. She is a beast. The warmly understated production also stretches Miss Freddye’s vocal ability resulting in an all-round outstanding project.
You can’t go wrong with a woman that is highly anointed and ministers to your very soul. Her spirit is welcoming and a testament of a true love for God. When thinking of premiere female vocalists who’ve delivered timeless music that has ministered to lost souls, the name Miss Freddye certainly belongs on that list.
Miss Freddye’s vocal performance reaches to the core of the believer, as she expresses the need for God’s healing power and touch. The song is just so rich. “Wade In The Water” is an experience of pure worship as Miss Freddye effortlessly delivers the song with every lyric flowing clear and beautifully.
The song speaks to the believer who will recall the genuine praise and worship experienced when attending religious events and musicals. The surprising part is that the pure artistry will allow this song to be appreciated by just about anyone – believer or not. In its soaring melisma, Miss Freddye sends you first class, straight into God’s presence. She has a voice that instantly places you in the heavens.
Miss Freddye is such a blessed vocalist that could sing the telephone book and make you dance for joy. She has a beautiful tone and clear melodic riffs and turns. Miss Freddye’s voice is strong yet tender in the places where it needs to be. She is not one of those average singers whose diminutive vocals are often swallowed by the latest beat. Her voice is a no nonsense powerhouse, with so many mellifluous variants that will leave you in awe.
“Wade In The Water” is yet another centerpiece and showcase of Miss Freddye’s talents, and the stellar vocalist will no doubt continue to revel in the spotlight, due to its release, and that of her upcoming album.

Miss Freddye delivers a faithful, fiery sermon with the powerful “Wade In the Water”. Her voice offers a classic, commanding presence. A true force of nature her vocals have a majesty to them with the rest of the arrangement punctuating the power of her words. Best listened to with the maximum volume, the song has a physicality and intimacy to it. The bluesy gospel quality of it feels profound. Opting for a sense of timelessness the way it unfurls gives it a unique poignancy. Never overdoing things, by keeping things to the absolute essentials she crafts a loveliness to the narrative, one that touches the very soul.
Her voice introduces the piece which feels particularly apt. From there the rest of the arrangement comes into focus, yet the track remains fully centered on the sheer intensity of her voice. Sung with such urgency and pathos, it virtually soars into the sky with a spirited beauty about it. Throughout the piece a reverence emerges one that pays a great deal of respect. Layer upon layer of the sound comes into the mix further adding to the track’s sheer emotional heft. Piano alongside a gentle rhythm helps the thing move along, though the true star remains her impeccable delivery. By maintaining that intimate setting the piece works true wonders.
“Wade In the Water” shows off the undeniably gorgeous vocals of Miss Freddye as it has a strong focus and sense of purpose.

A great combination of catchy melodies and upfront energy.
September 2020 - Miss Freddye is a singer and songwriter who sets the bar higher in terms of excellent production and great, passionate performances that add so much personality to her songwriting. Her most recent rendition of Wade In The Water, is absolutely no exception. The song immediately strikes for its immediate and relatable sound. After a mellow intro, the track immediately jumps out of the speakers with an energetic approach and so much vibe to set the bar higher. The song is the perfect blend of gospel appeal and warm soul influences, going for a balanced tone that feels exciting, yet catchy and direct. Miss Freddye is onto something special here, and if Wade In The Water is any indication, we can definitely expect something great from the artist in the near future, and beyond.
I would definitely recommend listening to this release if you are a fan of artists such as Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson, Tasha Cobbs, and many others. This one will not let you down.
