ben l'oncle Soul

French soul heavyweight Ben L’Oncle Soul has been hard working on his sophomore album and he ready to release the album this year. Hallelujah (J’ai  tant besoin de toi) is the first single off the album,  the whole album is backed by the fantastic Monophonics. In fact, the whole album was recorded and produced with the Monophonics at their studio in Califormia.  The new single is a real soul burner. As well, there is a crazy collaboration between L’Oncle Ben and the super talented Gregory Porter doing a rendition of Bill Withers’ Grandma’s hands. Check both videos out!

ModulatorSoul is back and the music keeps coming. During my mini hiatus, UK’s Ayanna Witter-Johnson dropped the new single Grandma’s hands off her upcoming EP Black Panther. Grandma’s hands was originally done by Bill Withers, most people may not have heard the original but know the sample from Blackstreet’s No Diggity. The original had this bluesy soul sound but Ayanna flips it to have this darker jazz sound but stays true to the bluesy sound with the guitar and violin. The new sound fits perfectly over Ayanna’s stunning voice. Check out the new single, and keep your eyes open for Black Panther, it is set to drop Dec 4, 2013.
