Maryland soul-singer Rachel McDonald made her national debut November, 2009 with the release of her album "The Return of Soul." This soul-infused dance record is sure to make a staggering first impression on the R&B and soul music community. McDonald's sultry voice, rich in tone and emotion, is coupled with the experienced hand of producer Biblical Jones, of Redefined Music. The album spans a wide gamut of urban music styles from straight-up dance beats to smooth, heartfelt ballads to gritty funk, all featuring McDonald's powerhouse vocals.

McDonald's mission is to bring the soul back to music, to eschew the over-commercialization common in today's music, and to just make great music. She has already launched an full-scale assault on the soul and R&B music scene with the viral release of a music video for her single, "Clenching My PIllow," and is currently filming a video for a new, as yet unreleased, single.

McDonald has been singing and dancing since childhood. At 18 years old, she has acted in nearly a dozen plays and almost as many vocal showcases and dance performances. She has performed at numerous Maryland and national events including NFL 60, the Maryland Education Association's MLK Breakfast, the Maryland House of Delegates African American Patriots Day, and the House of Blues in Los Angeles. She received the National Society of Arts Award for excellent in the arts in April, 2009.

Rachel's fiery style and attitude earn her the nickname The Quick Hotness, a Kung Fu term describing one who moves so fast, they blaze their own path. To learn more about Rachel McDonald, The Quick Hotness, visit her websites:
