Alternative R&B is in my soul. It's not going anywhere.
If you listen to 'Electric,' 'Entourage,' and 'Been With A Star,' all those records are records that I dug into the crates for to help me create that feeling of old funk. No one makes records like that anymore.
James Blake, Jai Paul, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Sohn, Kwabs, Sampha, Lil Silva, and Brandy, always. They all have soul. Deep soul.
I grew up on soul music. I was a dancing little creep.
I fell in love with R&B music at a young age. The energy and aesthetic of that genre strike an emotional chord with me.
I make soul music for hip-hop heads. It's music I'd want to sample if I were a rapper.
I'm gonna play something so funky you can smell it
I would say our sound is soul pop.
