Velvet

velvet 02/08/23

today on velvet, i’ve planned a mix of old-school r&b, modern underground hip hop, indie, neo-soul, psych-jazz, and more. it’s amazing how music evolves and so many sub-genres have developed from gospel & indigenous music. i hope you hear something that peaks your interest and expands your horizons 🙂

thanks for tuning into velvet today! this week i’m featuring the amazing vocalist and pianist, pj morton. his soulful, gospel-rooted sound matches the tune “how deep is your love” (originally by the bees gees) beautifully & adding yebba as a soloist was a magical choice. i didn’t realize how much i NEEDED this in my ears. hope you enjoy~

thanks for tuning into velvet this week! today i am featuring dan kye, an alias of jordan rakei, for whom i’ve been entering another major obsessive era. complimenting this selection, i’m playing songs by some of my favorite artists such as mid-air thief, hiatus kaiyote, esperanza spalding (featured last week), and allysha joy. lots of international artists this week, namely from australia/nz and korea. always cool to hear how soul has evolved from its gospel roots in so many new forms around the world. hope you enjoy 🙂
