Found Farah through Blue Lab Beats who produced this cut. Their music and her vocals are heavenly. She also did a cut called “On the Run” which is equally awesome. Bump this.

Flwr Chyld Featuring Sebastian Mikael ( Georgia-US) – Eucalyptus 2023

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!!

If you dig this check out some of the other stuff I’m listening to
Listening to this remix of Otis Redding the other day reminded me how a good remix can really light up a depressing day. With isolation from family, friends, and restrictions I look for inspiring things to share. And I started this series of blog posts, to share good music new and old. The majority of this will be hip hop, soul, and reggae but I know many genre’s have their dope remixes.
Brandy – I wanna be down IAMNOBODI remix 2013
A remix is a restructuring of an existing song. It could have the same beat and different verses, the same lyrics and a different beat, or a slight change that makes the song slower or faster. Either way it is an improvement of an existing song. These are some of my favorite remixes. It’s not comprehensive, it’s a list of what I like. Feel free to comment with your fav remix!
Timeless: Untitled/Fantastic remixed by Georgia Anne Muldrow from MOCHILLA on Vimeo.
Slum Village/J Dilla – Untitled/ Fantastic Georgia Anne Muldrow Remix
Greentea Peng – Dingaling (2021)
It feels like I’ve been listening to a lot of UK(British) artists lately from a few genres but mostly hip hop and soul. Here are a few of those artists. Hearing how they do their own thing and flip soul, hip hop, jazz, or house really trips me out sometimes. One of my biggest wishes is for more US based MCs, vocalists, and producers to collaborate with them. Got some folks I should hear? Leave a comment!
The previous “Stuff I’ve been listening to” was about HOUSE music
Stuff I’ve been listening to- SOUL music
Stuff I’ve been listening to- JAZZ
