R&B Singer-Songwriter Penelope Releases New Single “Body Keeps The Score” Off The Upcoming “Assassin” Soundtrack

Published

New Jersey based singer-songwriter Penelope (Shanice Robinson) releases her new single “Body Keeps The Score” Off the upcoming soundtrack for Bruce Willis’ final film “Assassin” released earlier this year from Saban Films. This new single follows Penelope’s 2022 hit single “Honest” as well her collaboration with rapper Mr. HUBB on single “Legacy” that has seen a great response from fans and press alike. This single follows the success of Penelope’s 2021 EP Stages Of Grief which set the stage of what to expect from this talented singer-songwriter. While some of her music can be categorically labeled R&B, the unapologetic soul and message of her songwriting can speak to anyone. The messages of Penelope’s music touches on a range of personal topics surrounding mental health, including infidelity, abuse and more, creating meaningful songs that not only help her process events in her life, but can also become beacons of hope for others facing the same struggles. Her music is real, and so is she, Penelope keeps her mission clear. “I feel like my life’s work is getting young people to know and understand that some of us have mental health issues that we aren’t addressing properly,” she advises. “And through my music, I want people to know, that it’s okay not to be ‘normal.’”

When asked about her latest single, Penelope said, “Body Keeps The Score’ speaks volumes on how men suffer in silence. This was my piece to a person that I love letting them know that I was there. So often men don’t want anyone to know that they’re struggling internally. I made it so that he’d know he can come to me express emotions, and it won’t be held against him or thrown up later. I see you, I love you & I’m here. With no expectations.”

Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Penelope had the music within her from a young age, singing in church at just five years old. She later relocated with her family to Stockbridge, Georgia, outside of Atlanta, where she attended middle school. Penelope ran track and was a cheerleader, athletically excelling as the highest toe touch on her cheerleading squad and named the fastest female runner in her state. While Penelope was a model athlete, she was an introvert who struggled with making friends and often found herself in trouble in high school—getting into fights, where she felt like she couldn’t contain her rage. Her anger was compounded by depression, leading to debilitating chronic migraines. She attempted suicide three times in her teenage years, and thankfully failed. She started writing poetry as a means to channel her emotions, though making music wasn’t too far in the distance. Penelope enrolled in college, majoring in medicine, but two life-altering events led to her temporarily leaving. One was a vicious assault, and the other was the birth of her daughter. “My daughter became my reason to succeed at everything I did,” she explains. Penelope started writing songs and roughly recording music over the years, unsure and unconfident about bringing it into the world. She finally decided to actively pursue music in 2018, cutting her first track and releasing it in 2019. “I loved Penelope Garcia on CBS’s Criminal Minds, so I started recording under the name Penelope,” she says of her moniker’s origin. However, it became much more than that. Much like Beyoncé with Sasha Fierce or Clark Kent with Superman, Penelope marked a transformation and a place to go where her insecurities and inhibitions were left at the door.

Now, after recently signing with ThatHUBBLife ENT, a socially responsible, entertainment records label, Penelope is geared for stardom, making music with a message and real substance. While Penelope is the face, the real strength dials back to Shanice, who didn’t let her life experiences define her, they only fueled her passion to make a difference.

DMV-based rapper/producer Santa Sallet and France-based producer Nemizzo are MSP, presenting their new single “Big Hands”. Sallet has been busy showcasing his brand of East Coast braggadocious rap across a slew of recent singles like “Camouflage” (watch on Youtube), “I Get Money” (watch on Youtube), “Championship Ring” (watch on Youtube) and “Chinese Funk” (watch on Youtube) in preparation for the release of Plutography, Sallet’s forthcoming album which blends salsa beats, southern trap, and eastern jazz with classic and conventional rap samples, reflecting Sallet’s international upbringing across South Africa, Dominica and the US. Sallet is planning a series of full-length releases, among them C.R.E.A.M. which recounts his journey from broke to financially free, and Women and R.A.P. which describe his pursuit of success in relationships and the music industry respectively. “This is the song that really started MSP Tunes,” Santa says. “Nemizzo had laid down his verse and I was like, let me try something on this and I just talked about what I knew. What I think is funny, the outro is actually me recording a bunch of potential beat tags. There was a miscommunication and Nemizzo extended the beat and made it the outro. I like it though lol.” Check out Santa Sallet merch here.
