Velvet

velvet 3/29/23

today on wrek radio, all shows are featuring women in music! on velvet, i’ll be showcasing some of my favorite women in the neo-soul/r&b scene today. these artists are from all over the world, including places such as atlanta, new zealand, norway, berlin, brazil, melbourne, portland, brooklyn, the bay area, london, paris, and the congo. these singers, songwriters, instrumentalists, producers, and djs all have a special place in my heart and deserve to be showcased! it’s a tough world for woman and non-binary artists to gain the same respect that their male counterparts. it’s so important to share the art of such amazing women in the scene!

i hope you enjoy~

featuring: wayne snow

this week on velvet, i’m featuring nigerian-born, berlin-based artist, wayne snow. wayne has collaborated with some of my favorite artists, including max graef, darius, and fkj. his feel for funk in tandem with a uniquely rhythmic soul-feel combine beautifully with the jazz & house sounds of these artists, as you will hear on the first song of today’s show (lost in the moment by darius and wayne snow). additionally, today i hope to bring you a wide variety of funk, soul, hip-hop/rap, house, and psychedelic flavors within the umbrella of neo-soul.

i hope you enjoy!
