New Interview: Brittany Bosco
A choir voice soaked in jazz, dripping with funk, careening blues
and endless resonating sounds dancing around audio hearts, Brittany
Bosco believes in the gifts her vocal fluctuations create. Just around
the Bosco bend another wind undulates, her upcoming release, Black, which expectedly will top the crème of her first two and hopefully, astound listeners all over again. Read the interview by Porschia Baker |
New Interview: K'Jon
After putting in over a decade of work as a writer and independent
artist, K'Jon has paid his dues and now he and his craft are poised to
take the mainstream by storm. Armed with a soulful voice and industry
veteran experience, his major label debut I Get Around is already garnering momentum on the strength of his hit single "On the Ocean."

Nu-Soul bridges the gap between the world of R&B/soul and the underground vibes of electronica, the common factor being a grounding in funk, soul and urban lifestyle. This is a place where the sounds of neo-soul, drum and bass, deep house and breakbeat are a part of the same family. Through fascinating articles, engaging interviews, and the latest reviews, Nu-Soul hopes to open minds to the incredible array of soul influenced music available today.
Sincerely,
|
