The Monday Playlist Features Singer/Songwriter + Co-Owner of “Jolie Noire”: Keyondra Lockett
We released another new episode of “The Monday Playlist” this week featuring Keyondra Lockett!! Keyondra is a star singer/songwriter and business woman making her the perfect guest to help us close out Black History Month while being on the cusp of Women’s History Month!
Keyondra’s single “Try” allowed her to hit the Top 15 on the Billboard charts. Most recently, she hit #1 on Billboard with her single “Trouble Don’t Last”. Charting on Billboard has proven to only be the beginning of great moments that have helped to catapult her music career in a fresh direction which was soon followed by 2 nominations from the Gospel Music Stellar Awards.
In 2020, Keyondra was the first Gospel artist to be honored with her own doll. Later she partnered with her sister and stylist Kim Lockett to begin their latest venture clothing line Joulie Noir which is currently being sold and featured in Target nationwide as apart of their Black History Collections.
Watch our full interview with Keyondra as we speak with her about her new clothing line partnering with target, being a woman in both music and in business, her newest music release feat. @qparker112 (of the popular RnB group 112) and @tedyp (Producer to @pharrell and many more).

If you’re looking for new music to add to your playlist, this is a single you can’t forget! Grammy award winning artist Jekalyn Carr and Christian R&B newcomer have come together for their newest collab “Hands On Me”! In just four days, their new video for the single hit 100K and the numbers continue to climb!
Surprisingly to some, Christian R&B is not a new genre. But, it has recently become more widespread outside of the Christian R&B community in the last few years due to much of the music going viral on TikTok. There have been a host of artists who have been pushing out creative music with this sound as far back as 2012 and before. In recent years, we have seen new artists jumping into the genre style with a fresh take merging Gospel and Christian R&B together!
Following in the steps of recent collaborations from artists like Erica Campbell and Jordan Armstrong and more, Jekalyn Carr and Mike Teezy are continuing the trend of Gospel + Christian R&B artists coming together for a new era of Gospel music!
