Shanice (born Shanice Lorraine Wilson on May 14, 1973 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is a Grammy Award nominated American R&B singer. Credited usually as simply Shanice, she hit big on mainstream radio with her 1991 hit "I Love Your Smile" for the Motown label and also scored another Top 5 Billboard Hot 100 single in 1993 with "Saving Forever for You."
Shanice is a singer credited with a five-octave vocal range. Soultrack.com in their biography states, 'she recorded her debut album for A&M Records, Discovery, at age 13. Despite her young age, Shanice showed an amazing vocal range (five octaves)'. RushPRnews also confirms Shanice wide vocal range by noting: "It's always been about the voice for Shanice. She can boast of a five-octave range, which she handles with beauty and ease". Thus, Shanice has the ability to sing falsetto, as mentioned in Musicmatch's review of her 1991 international successful Inner Child album: "Shanice sure has an impressive voice, including the ability to sing in headvoice (top upper range) like Mariah Carey and Minnie Riperton". Shanice can be heard using this ability in songs such as her cover of Minnie Riperton's "Lovin' You", "Fly Away", "Ain't Got No Remedy", "Never Changing Love" and in her duet with Jon Secada for the Pocahontas soundtrack "If I Never Knew You", among other songs.
Not a stranger to taking long gaps between albums and singles, "Every Woman Dreams" finally emerged in June of 2005. The single did moderately well at R&B radio. After several pushbacks, her fifth studio album Every Woman Dreams was released on February 21, 2006, by an independent label. According to her MySpace page title, she will be releasing a new album in 2008.
