Rest in peace Michael and Irene 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖💖💖

Irene never received the recognition or compensation she deserved for her artistic achievements. For example, she received neither credit nor financial compensation for her contributions to the Fame soundtrack.

Her performances on classics such as Falling in Love, Misty Blue, and One Step Closer are extraordinary. The way she interprets and elevates these songs showcases a level of artistry that is truly exceptional.

Beyond her vocal talent, Irene's skills as a producer, songwriter, arranger, and collaborator are remarkable. She had a unique ability to bring talented artists together and create music that was both powerful and memorable.

Had she not been blacklisted by the music industry, I firmly believe she could have achieved the same level of international recognition as artists such as Whitney Houston and Beyoncé.

In my view, Carasmatic was the album that should have launched her to global stardom. The talent was there. The vision was there. The artistry was undeniable.

The next time you listen to Irene's music, listen a little more closely. You may discover details, creativity, and brilliance that have too often gone unnoticed.
