The Pulse of Entertainment: Billboard
Chart-Topping Lindsey Webster Releases ‘Music in Me' Album on Shanachie, Featuring Stokely Williams and Anthony Hamilton
by Dr. Eunice Moseley
(March 20, 2026) - "We were talking about drums and the engineer
referred Stokely to me because he has worked with him," said Billboard chart-topping Jazz vocalist Lindsey Webster
about two-time Grammy nominated musician Stokely Williams (Mint Condition, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson) playing
drums and percussion on her 7th album "Music in Me" (Shanachie Entertainment).
Stokely is also a featured vocalist on the album's current single "Two
Hearts."
"Years and years ago we did a show and
he was playing drums; I was a featured artist," Webster pointed out me when I asked about her connections to the front
man of the iconic band Mint Condition. "We do a duet on ‘Two Hearts'."
"Anthony Hamilton was actually supposed to do the (‘Two Hearts') duet...but
it fell through...I was so disappointed. I have opened up for him," Lindsey pointed out as we continued to talk about
the new single "Two Hearts" that features the unmistakable vocals of Billboard chart-topping Stokely Williams. "He
(Anthony Hamilton) didn't know...he told me, ‘We'll do our own song.' So, through persistence and Anthony being Anthony
we did a duet. I had a verse and bridge. We took the bridge out for Anthony's version...it was surreal. It turned out to be
a blessing."
That song Grammy winning Anthony Hamilton eventually
did with Lindsey Webster is titled "Best in Me". Also featured on the "Music in Me" album are Keith Slattery
her personal pianist and her songwriting and producing partner; Keyon Harrold (Beyonce', Maxwell) a featured trumpeter on
the track "Time on You,;" Isaiah Sharkey (Patti LaBelle, Keith Urban) is a featured guitarist on the track "The
Truth is Never Told," and rapper Kev Choice (Ledisi, Lauryn Hill) is on the track titled "Cali."
"I am so grateful," she said about her new project, "I get to live out
an incredible dream."
"I am normally in the Smooth Jazz
lane...but I am breaking into R&B with this album," she added with a slight laugh.
The "Music in Me" album is distributed by Shanachie Entertainment and offers 13 tracks
from the Woodstock, New York Contemporary Jazz vocalist who is also fluent in Pop and Soul. Webster released her debut project
at the age of 24 in 2013. Before signing a record deal with Shanachie Entertainment Lindsey's musical home was at Atlantic
Records. www.LindseyWebsterMusic.com www.Shanachie.com
