Sheléa Melody McDonald - I Don't Care (2025) HQ R&B/Soul (Los Angeles)

Natural beauty with her timeless voice Sheléa Melody McDonald (aka Sheléa Frazier) is back with a new single "I Don't Care" written and produced by herself & Davy Nathan. Featuring Stanley Rudolph (Drums), Pastor Funk (Bass), Erick Walls (Guitar), Davy Nathan (Piano), Cory Henry (Organ), and Stevie Blackie (String Arrangements).

Bakersfield-born vocalist, songwriter, and pianist Sheléa has captivated audiences around the world with a voice that transcends genre and speaks straight to the soul. A true musical force, she effortlessly bridges the worlds of R&B, jazz, gospel, and pop, carrying the elegance of legends while carving a path uniquely her own.

Her 2013 debut album, Love Fell On Me, featured the self-penned title track from the film Jumping the Broom and the Billboard-charting single “I’ll Never Let You Go,” which peaked at #22 on the R&B charts. But it was her heartfelt tribute to Whitney Houston—a 10-song, self-arranged medley performed at the keyboard—that launched her into viral stardom and revealed to the world an artist of rare depth, control, and reverence.

Sheléa’s brilliance has drawn the admiration of music’s elite. She has worked alongside a who’s who of industry legends, including Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, David Foster, Sergio Mendes, Narada Michael Walden, Rickey Minor, and Dave Koz. Her collaborations and performances reflect not only technical mastery but emotional richness and authenticity that resonates across generations.

Called “one of the greatest artists of her generation” by the iconic Quincy Jones, Sheléa is more than a vocalist—she is a storyteller, arranger, producer, and pianist whose artistry continues to evolve and inspire. Whether commanding the stage of a world-renowned venue or delivering an intimate ballad, she radiates timeless soul, fearless talent, and a voice that truly knows no bounds.
