Blackface (album)
''Blackface'' is a studio album by the R&B group Shai. It was produced by Shai; the group spent nine months working on it. The album peaked at No. 42 on the ''Billboard'' 200. Its first single was "Come with Me". Critical reception ''The Washington Post'' concluded that "when Carl Martin, Darnell Van Rensalier, Garfield Bright and Marc Gay stack their voices in one unexpected chord after another, though, they capture the hope and anxiety of young love like few other acts today." The ''Los Angeles Times'' determined that Shai "saves its best vocals for the album's one a cappella track, 'If I Gave (A Confession of Hope)', a spiritual that is moving in its sheer simplicity."

Shai (band) Albums
Shai (also spelt Sai, occasionally Shay, and in Greek, Psais) was the deification of the concept of fate in Egyptian mythology. As a concept, with no particular reason for associating one gender over another, Shai was sometimes considered female, rather than the more usual understanding of being male, in which circumstance Shai was referred to as Shait (simply the feminine form of the name). His name reflects his function, as it means ''(that which is) ordained''. The Egyptians believed that Shai determined the length of each person’s life and was born with each person at their birth and remained at their side until they faced their final judgement before Osiris in the underworld Duat. In consequence, he was sometimes identified as the husband of Meskhenet, goddess of birth, or, in later years, of Renenutet, who assigned the Ren, and had become considered goddess of fortune. Because of the power associated in the concept, Akhenaten, in introducing monotheism, said that Shai wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
