[@weeknders]

I have seen your little brother play. Great band.

[@snafu_uk]

He ain’t that little yooooo ❤️🚀🧚

[@souljazzie]

Kelly definitely has Soul in his voice Listening to him I was blown away. definitely Kelly styles sounds like it comes from record labels like Motown, Stax , Curtom records and what I really like is that he’s an original and not singing covers of other peoples songs. Great Sound

[@M1A.308]

Soul music just hits different. ❤️❤️❤️

[@brownkemosabe]

Been waiting for this show for far too long. Aces it with Monophonics. Aces it as a solo musician. Kelly Finnigan has Arrived!! Colemine Records Power!

[@heavysoulbrutha]

I could listen to this cat sing and chat for days! "Can't Let Him Down" is f*cking incredible!!! If you don't have Kelly's album, find it, buy it, stream it, whatever. Just... GET IT IN YOUR EARS! #SOUL

[@JacksonStricksOn]

I AGREE!!!!

[@strictlynorton]

Kelly is part of the Ohio based Colemine Records family. Alongside label cats like Durand Jones and the Inclinations and Neal Francis they're bringing back real rootsy soul music. No surprise KEXP are supporting Kelly they're amazing at getting behind many underground acts across every genre. Large up yourselves one and all.

[@Thørkil84]

its Durand Jones and the indications

[@brownkemosabe]

The Colemine portfolio of Soul and funk artists is an international treasure.

[@J4CKTR1PP3R]

@stricklynorton I've been deep into everything Terry and Bob Cole have been putting out... Much love and respect to the entire Colemine Record family. Word of advice to anyone reading this... Don't sleep on waiting to buy a presale limited edition Record. Cause you will be let down.

[@speedomatt10]

Colemine is killing the game. Haven't listened to one artist that I didn't like.

[@MsFancypants9]

I discovered Kelly Finnigan thru Spotify some months ago, am loving his album!

[@blockad83]

Wooohooo. What a voice. What a band. Love from Bremen (Germany)

[@erikb.8758]

[@C.L.3006]

"So much is said about love, but not enough is said about the way you love me"

[@BrutusMayhem567]

I absolutely love everything Kelly Finnegan does. So amazing. I haven't been so moved by the discovery of a new artist in my life in so long.

[@PRE323]

Kelly performance this weekend was amazing in DTLA at the civic center. My 1st time hearing his music and it happened to be live. Love your Soul brother . Newest #1 fan

[@dirtfactory]

believe it or not this was recorded at 9am, the morning- after the Portland show before driving back down to play in Eugene... and then up to Vancouver BC... that's a lot of time in a van.

[@Thørkil84]

Nice performance Bro. Darius (btw nice hat at Vegas monophonics gig^^)

[@sreejithnair07]

I went completely O_O when he started with Catch Me I'm Falling...what a versatile voice! Thank you again, KEXP. My go-to channel for new music. Love you guys!

[@kyraleigh683]

My favorite album of 2019. SO GOOD - If you get a chance to see him live, jump on it!

[@2thm8ker]

Holy s*** KEXP, thank you once again for suprising me with these great piece of music.

[@nicao5705]

Sem palavras,...gente!,fantastico

[@Johaneeeek]

[@followthebeat66]

dude, same thought...

[@franklopez2702]

Sweet SOUL music baby. Modern life these days sucks .pop music is trash movies and tv sucks now but damn we have all these amazing old school soul artists giving us all thesw modern day oldies music like this is a really big part of my daily life. I love it💘🎻🎧🎤🎼🎵🎹🎺🌷🍷 cheers baby

[@RxDawg94]

So good. Smooth as butta.

[@EliteClinicalResearch]

Wow I’m a big fan of monophonics! Love Kelly, keep up the good work man!!

[@Alex1977ification]

Tales People Tell is sheer perfection

[@crlujan]

Always 🔥 from Mr. Finnigan.

[@PeekaPeep]

I'm so damn proud of Kelly, LA-born soul brother who finally discovered the good stuff via Hip-Hop like the rest of us from his generation did (early-'80s baby here, also hailing from the same hometown as him 😊👍). His work with the Monophonics as well as his own solo projects are proof positive that the old school STILL remains the "Gold School", folks! Wouldn't mind seeing him hook up with Judith Hill on a collaboration effort at some point, those two have more in common than they might think...

[@sonnypearl1948]

THANK YOU KEXP FOR THIS POST. TREMENDOUS PERFORMERS ON A VENUE THAT IS CONSTANTLY BRINGING TOP-NOTCH TALENT TO KZbin VIEWERS.

CATCH ME I'M FALLING LYRICS So much is said about love but not enough is said about the way you love me (Oooh you love me) Thinking of a smile wishing for your kiss Oh but I go (Hold onto me baby) Cupid left an arrow in me Got me feeling like I can hardly breathe I’m suffocating (Nothing I can do, give me a reason) I don’t want to hear nobodies good reasons why I shouldn’t fall in love this season, I will oh baby I will Catch Me I’m Falling Catch Me I’m Falling No one said it happened this fast It’s hard to make a good thing last forever (Oooh I loved you) When you see the changing of leaves Girl it’s feeling like I can hardly breathe I’m frustrated (Nothing left to lose, baby I’m leaving) I can’t listen to more reasons why I shouldn’t let no more girls pass me by My friends tell me oh no it’s no good But I’d stop it oh yeah if I could I just want to hear all the right reasons Why my heart changes with every season Catch Me I’m Falling Here comes the sun, here comes the rain Catch Me I’m Falling Another season, another new love Catch Me I’m Falling Catch Me I’m Falling

[@Pancho308]

I've been perusing the KEXP library...one by one. I'm hanging on this one for awhile. Amazing...Happy Veterans Day to all of you and me.

[@bulfa2008]

Holy, fuck. That first song sold me.

[@michaelardon6851]

So happy I found this Gem!

[@1katsan2]

I'm telling you, Colemine record's should be called "Goldmine record's" all artist from that label is like finding Gold 🎼❤🎼

[@nekroeddie13]

[@MrMuslukcu]

[@angelawilson3015]

MANNN KELLY YOU ARE THE SHIT I PLAY YOUR MUSIC OVER AND OVER

[@royaljustice6219]

Hi Angela, how are you doing. You seem like a poet or painter or singer. Or maybe yur just an Atorney. Yet yu are beautiful.

[@maria-elisabethgume8760]

❣

[@bigg5582]

Great singer ..reminds me of that guy from ST Paul and the Broken bones..

[@davidzimmerman2241]

he's better! Both great though

[@MrChatelherault]

If you love this sound try the Monophonics. Their album sounds of sinning is an all time great. Kelly leads the vocals.

[@kenjilol7551]

Underrated artist

[@РоманКузик-м1х]

😍💓👏👏👏

[@candymartinez4570]

💯🎶💯🎵💯🎶💯🎵💯🎶

[@frankbrenner4852]

Can someone make a Kelly Finnigan Ghostface album happen?

[@JovanNecakov]

Spread that word, you wonderful genius you.

[@michaelrangel8954]

Dude knows what he's doin

[@evangarcia679]

Whoever said White boys cant make soul music LIED! This man gives me chills

[@qarsiq]

THIS.......

[@abraalahouzos6755]

YO! Where is your next gig?

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

This band is cooooold. I knew that Kelly was a White guy after looking up the song featured in the Bose commercial and wasn't shocked.. because Soul music is transcendent...BUT...I was shocked to find that he's capable of that sweet falsetto AND that powerful chest voice. Lots of times it's either or with the male voice.

[@SeñorTrumpito2024]

Kelly Finnigan got more soul than MOTOWN❗️

[@GrishaSelivanov]

ахуительно!

[@pnew3107]

He hits the falsetto too. 😶

[@ericavila431]

M

[@DonCnuPuDoH]

Guys, you might install some air conditiong in studio, i s'spose - a lot of artists were sweating, might feel uncomfortable. Or whateva.

[@fulosophy724]

That's what happens when you sing soul, like Lee Fields and Charles Bradley, "He's not sweating, his whole body is crying" was one of the best comments I've seen LOL

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

It's like working out in a dojo man...you want to sweat. It needs to be humid in there. It's much better for the vocals too.

[@pnew3107]

Thought Dave Grohl was on drums at first😮....😕oh no it’s not.....😬but this ish is 🔥🔥 I was in from the beginning. The grown folk shi+. 🤙

[@innertechnology7149]

This is the blackesT IrisHmen I've ever heard- Lol right on bruh

[@anatolyice]

Sounds like Lee Fields, or Charles Bradley, or Sly Jones or even Clarence Reid... or any other 60s-70s soul. IMO, if I want to listen to 70s soul, I'll grab record from that era and listen to it. This all sounds great, but why should we listen to the copy when we have plenty of originals?

[@Mirpeace93]

There's a point.... but also you know what's kind awkward...he sounds really gentle white when speaking but when singing words like "thing" as "thang".... hmm just seems kinda disingenuous.... nice music though.... I'm not one of those cultural appropriation believers...but geez cant he just sing as himself. Haha I'd understand if that was his accent in real life but its not

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

Soul music... it's a culture. If you were to say, "Thing," it throws off the who vibe... not to mention, if you were actual singers, you'd realize that thang feels more natural to sing than thing. You also can't be disingenuous and do THIS. But as you were with your hot takes.. ✌
