Stuff I’ve Been Listening To 25- More SOUL
Flwr Chyld Featuring Sebastian Mikael ( Georgia-US) – Eucalyptus 2023
I discovered this jam through Sebastian Mikael and LOVE Flwr Chyld’s production style!! Incredible feel for good soul!
What is this? This series is called “Stuff I’ve been listening to” and this is my place to share music that I listen to while I work, process, decompress, and live life. Some of it is new, some old. But I’m always listening. I share in the hopes that you will find something that inspires you. Please share with a fellow music lover.
Cleo Sol ( London-UK) – Go Baby 2023
If you haven’t heard Cleo Sol yet, do yourself a favor and listen to this singer songwriter’s work as a solo artist and collaborator w/ folks like Sault, Little Simz, and more.
Moonchild (Los Angeles, US) – Too Good 2021
I first heard Moonchild some 5 or 6 years ago. They are primarily a trio that plays a blend of Jazz and Soul. Very talented group that writes and produces their stuff.
Olivia Dean (London, UK) – No Man 2023
On a weekend bday trip my wife was playing some music on Spotify and this song came on. I had to rewind it of “course and discovered an amazingly talented young vocalist from the UK. “Ladies room” from this LP and “Be my own boyfriend” are also my jam.
Adi Oasis (Brooklyn, US) – Mystic Lover 2022
I came across Adi aka Adeline playing a bass cover of Patrice Rushen’s “Forgive Me Nots” and was blown away by this bad add bass player and singer songwriter. She’s originally from France but has called the US home for awhile.
Brainstory (Los Angeles, US) – Dead End 2019
Can’t remember how I came across this group, but they are on Big Crown Records who have been consistently been pumping out some of the most gorgeous Soul from a multicultural cast of characters in LA and beyond.
Sam Willis (Hastings, UK) – Don’t Doubt It 2023
Can’t remember how I came across Sam, I think another artist I follow mentioned him. Either way, solid single!!
AstralBlak AKA Zulu Zuluu (Minneapolis, US) – Fades 2016
I love this group. They started off as Zulu but changed their name to AstralBlak.
Jennah Bell w/ Claudio Olachea (Oakland, US) – Can You See it? 2023
I first heard Jennah Bell maybe 10 years ago and have loved a little bit of everything she has put out since! She’s a versatile singer, songwriter, and guitarist from my home town! If you dig her too, check out “Hammer”, “Another Louisiana”, or “Candied Daylight”.
And here are some even older joints…
Maxwell (New York, US) – Sumthin Sumthin MellowSmooth 1997
We all love Maxwell, but unless you watched the first love scene in the film Love Jones you might have missed this remix of the classic “Sumthin Sumthin” on the soundtrack. Still hits!
DJ Jazzy Jeff & Ayah (Philadelphia US/Toronto CA) – Maybe We Can Just 2011
DJ Jazzy Jeff and singer Ayah did this EP project mixing some old and new for a fly blend of soul back in 2011 or 2010. Hear the whole project here.
Anita Baker (Detroit, US) – Talk to Me 1990
Grew up on this woman’s music playing on the living room stereo. This is one of my favorites from Ms Baker.
Stevie Wonder (Los Angeles, US) – Superwoman 1972
Classic deep cut from Stevie!!
