It&#8217;s a perfect example of MJ Songstress&#8217;s talent for musical composition, and the artist is able to fuse pop, jazz, hip-hop, R&amp;B, and Latin music &#8211; and probably lots more &#8211; into her very own sound, which is a representation of everywhere she&#8217;s already been and the places she&#8217;s yet to visit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MJ Songstress&#8217;s many talents also include dancing, and this skill has been made good use of by director Sage Love, who highlight&#8217;s Songstress&#8217;s natural grace in the video for &#8216;Carousel&#8217;. She commands the screen and fills up every scene she&#8217;s in &#8211; a swimming pool, a club, or a balcony overlooking the city &#8211; the entire time she&#8217;s managing to look both natural, and radiant. The director has given the entire clip a dreamlike quality, which only adds to MJ Songstress&#8217;s appeal, as she dances through, smiling, alluring, and beckoning us all to come join her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about MJ Songstress and her music online on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Twitter.com\/MJSongstress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>.
