Myia B "Stand On Business" October 1, 2024: Daddy B. Nice's Profile: Myia B (aka Myia Bry) is the performance name of Dooley County, Georgia singer-songwriter Armyia Bryant. She first charted on Daddy B. Nice's Top 10 Singles in December of 2023 with the song "Country Party," but her breakthrough southern soul single appeared in August of 2024. Here's the commentary from that charting:
Daddy B. Nice's Top 10 "BREAKING" Southern Soul Singles For. . . -------AUGUST 2024------- ....5. "Stand On Business"----Myia B Is this the most gender-bending southern soul song since Peggy Scott-Adams' "Bill"? Most of the comments on its YouTube page effuse about the beauty of both the song and Myia B's gospel-timbred voice---and rightfully so. But curiously none of the enthusiastic comments and emojis address the fact the song is about a "she" and a "she" and includes the phrase "she set that snapper on my face". If the southern soul audience embraces this tune, it will be on a culturally much different and inclusionary level than it was in the nineties with "Bill". Bottom line? It's a flat-out great song, the kind of song that launches a career.
Listen to Myia B singing "Stand On Business" on YouTube. Within a month the song had accumulated over a hundred thousand views and Myia B had published a new "official" video of "Stand on Business". Listen to Myia B singing "Stand On Business (Official Music Video)" on YouTube. The official video tallied almost 150,000 streams in short order, prompting your Daddy B. Nice to feature Myia B in his September "News & Notes" as follows: September 18, 2024: Daddy B. Nice's News & NotesFirst Explicit Lesbian Southern Soul Video Is Stunning (Myia B)I just heard Jammin' Jay'sSouthern Soul Video Mixtape #302 by accident while taking a shower less than a hour ago. YouTube was rolling with southern soul in the background, and I could hear a nifty slow/fast mix of Lebrado's "I'm Missing You" as I was toweling off. Jammin' Jay was obviously a master mixer, his transitions inspired and seamless in the club/dj tradition, only with more frequent, 1-2 minute breaks, as if the choices were endless. Thankfully, he had an ear for it---he loves southern soul.
By the time I looked at the computer Willie Clayton was singing "Just One Of Them Things". (About 21 minutes in.) That's when I noticed the mixtape featured actual music video fragments. "That's neat," I thought, ready to be hypnotized by the screen. Then Clayton led into Myia B's "Stand On Business". It sounded so good. It was like the radio station playing the one song you wanted to hear but slipped your mind, an incredible pairing of melody, tempo and a vocal timbre (Myia B's) straight from heaven. And then came the video. It was not an excerpt from the "Stand On Business" video your Daddy B. Nice had hyper-linked for fans in August's Top 10 Singles. It was a new video, the first explicit lesbian southern soul video. And this was mainstream. Not some creepy corner of the internet. This was too good, both musically and visually, not to be mainstream. Southern soul fans, I think, will be stunned. Not because they've never seen love between women---but because they've never seen love between women presented in a southern soul context. The song is so beautiful, the first time you hear it you imagine the lyrics to be about a man and woman, as in every other southern soul tune. It's only as the words begin to sink in (does she keep saying "she"?...) that you realize, "No, this is something different." And yet, the emotions and hormonal pull of the relationship involve the familiar passion and swagger of a heterosexual relationship. (Myia B, by the way, is the dominant partner.) Whatever your reaction and opinion, you'll find the video fascinating---and electric, certainly, at first. Having said that, I am moving from Jammin' Jay's mixtape to search for the new (official) Myia B video in its entirety....Yes, here it is. The "pretty little thing" is strolling down the street in her cowboy hat and daisy dukes, catching Myia B's eye...: Listen to Myia B singing "Stand On Business" (The Official Music Video) on YouTube. In my commentary on "Stand On Business" in August I wrote: "Bottom line? It's a flat-out great song, the kind of song that launches a career." I think the career has launched.
