A dreamy neo-soul/jazz trio from Los Angeles, CA, Moonchild are an exciting new addition to Tru Thoughts, fitting in a treat on the eclectic indie’s roster. In a whirlwind three years Moonchild have self-released two albums, and collaborated or toured with highly-respected names in the soul-jazz crowd including Stevie Wonder, Jill Scott, India.Arie, Leela James and more. Attracting international tastemaker support from the likes of Gilles Peterson (BBC 6Music), WHUR-DC, KCRW and LA 102.3, the band have also found themselves being praised by a host of iconic artists including Robert Glasper, Laura Mvula, James Poyser, Jazzy Jeff, Jose James and Tyler, The Creator and The Internet. Having signed to Tru Thoughts, they are set to gain a wider audience still via an official release for their album ‘Please Rewind’ on the UK label this year.
Amber Navran (vocals, tenor saxophone), Max Bryk (alto saxophone, flute, clarinet, keyboards) and Andris Mattson (trumpet/flugelhorn, keyboards) met in 2012 in their junior year at the University of Southern California in the Jazz Studies programme. Inspired by the respected hip hop and progressive electronic music scene in LA, the group’s sound continues to blossom as they create music influenced by the likes of J Dilla, Flying Lotus and D’Angelo - all of whom have been prevalent in broadening the groups musical horizons over the years, leading up to the production of their 2015 release - ‘Please Rewind’.

I wish i met her one day

[@Zoey3.0]

Love Moonchild

[@chaucerparks1713]

She has ABSOLUTELY the most calming voice I've ever heard and I've heard a lot of female music artist..💯💯👍🏾👍🏾✌🏿

[@thee.ms.carrie]

Her voice is definitely soothing, there's no denying... I'm wondering if you'd say it's more-so than Sade's?

[@JohnUcol]

And that's how you lay back.

[@jongell]

Put a bow on it

[@queenonyxbutterfly]

okay??? for real, for real!!!

[@miystiqueskillz2233]

She right up there with jill Scott and erykah badu....i love it..and the band is supurb great music arrangements

[@blissfulentertainment7]

This is my "don't disturb me" music. " Leave me be music. Go your own way music. What you looking at music?" True inner peace...

[@lew708]

Rare Lioness Well, to be quite frank...If they’re looking, it’s because you are exquisitely gorgeous. So, don’t be upset...It’s like being mad at someone for staring at Kyoto, Japan in the fall...You can’t help but stare.😍

So I'm in the work truck, listening to the local jazz station. But because so much of it just filler music with little soul, I tend to tune it out and just let it be background music. Then THIS came on and I was an INSTANT fan. Great stuff and I really hope they have a long and successful career! 30 thumbs up!!

[@skyboundzoo]

great now I need a neck brace

[@KiaMiaProductions]

sky bound zoo 😂😂

[@elindsp]

Such a D'Angelo Voodoo vibe here

[@wingeddragonra3953]

This woman has deep soul!!!

[@TheBahafis]

Sounds like she was inspired by the legendary Michael Franks. Song stays on repeat on my Spotify 'Chill Bop' playlist.

[@JLsnipe311]

Bahati Banks can you link the playlist?

[@gerigoins783]

Also inspired by 70s band Quintessence. You should check them out. Very similar.

[@janesmith4h]

👌...I'm late, but I'm here. OMG...They are amazing!

[@roderickallenmusic]

As smooth as it gets. I'm a huge fan.

[@317Zaza]

Who said white people dont have rhythm and soul! Amen to her heart! Yes lord!

[@adoris864]

Well......I don't know about all that! But I will say, they certainly have learned to imitate us pretty darn well. It's easy to copy and paste, but black people CREATE. There is a HUGE difference. But I must say, I love the vibe, it's really laid back.

[@antonio1999o]

@@adoris864 lmao ok

[@jamarrichardson3245]

@@adoris864 lol.. wtf? Whats wrong with having the ability to have rhythm and style while having influences that you can create your own sound with.. I'm black and i think shes talented and gifted..Her intent wasn't to copy or be a culture vulture.. This is music..We all got our ideas and influences from other people which is no issue and natural.. Stop putting color in it.

[@kisametaylor9152]

2:37 my soul was brushed by the physical manifestation of love

[@AFewEwoksO.O]

Moonchild = safe place no matter what cantastrophes one faces in life.

[@MF-wf5ww]

3:22 one of my favorite endings to a song. Resolves the apex of the song in such a clever way, playing off of that record skip with that nice bass melody. Gives me chills every time I hear it.

[@bidk5986]

anyone in 2018?? oh my god. I was missing out!!

[@ravencarter7829]

...2019 🤦

[@raitisfreimanis]

2020

[@nickj12]

2020. I just found out who they were this year. 😂

[@BiGnSkIOd]

Awsome group....FIIIIIIIIIRE!!!!

[@invisiblue3212]

The singer exudes the most positive energy/vibes. This lady IS light. The instrumentation and her vocals are f'ing perfectly, harmonically blended. 🥰🔥🎶

[@santanadegollado9812]

Aint this some B#LLSH!T..... I've had this song on my phone playlist over a year & some how it only said "The Truth" artist "Unknown" i never knew the artist till right now.... Now im listening to every song they got

[@jackv2244]

That's that laid back jazz, she sounds like a white Eryka Badu

[@raeesthapa8401]

Exactly!!

I love her music, whenever I'm stress out, I just turn on her music and let everything just mellow out.

I'm absolutely in love. You all are truly DOPE!

You are the antidote. Thanks for the beautiful music!

This is dope! Love your voice Girl!

[@101enj]

Just discovered this awesomeness Moonchild! AND they are USC grads! Trojans for life! So happy right now!

[@antoinetteswinger1633]

When music literally touches your soul you know it’s pure.

[@Rothomp]

This cut by Moonchild is the TRUTH!!!

[@kdub607]

Still one of my absolute favorite songs of one of my absolute favorite groups! The song has everything from great arrangements, grooving music, and perfect vocals. Watching this video for the umpteenth time, I always thought Amber is very pretty, but looking at it now it's her beautiful spirit. She has a slight smile almost always, even while she sings. That happiness makes her look that much more beautiful - not just physically but spiritually and emotionally as well.

[@mildredfranklin6358]

So relaxing 😌

[@waynewhite57]

The band and her vocals ???? If they ever depart from one another the vibe will be offset. This is mad chemistry….soul is universal and you can hear it.

[@TheColtswin1]

Just got my Tix for the Roots picnic 2019 in PHILLY!!!!.. See you there Moonchild!!!!!

[@TheFreshPeddler]

Did J Dilla change your life?

[@StefveoX]

You know he did.

[@slickathanasnicka]

absolutely

[@KiaMiaProductions]

my favorite part of this song is when the beat drops. love the whole song. I'm officially a fan. I'm a soul chick all day.

[@gerardgreen4313]

Moonchild played this for their encore last night in Zurich. I had stay home from work today due to a broken neck. Worth it.

[@DJFreedomlives]

One of the more (not the most) underrated neo soul artists. I love this. I would love to hear more. I found this after hearing DJ Jazzy Jeff's take on it. This is officially just as good if not better.

[@chancest.thomas5160]

Definitely Don't disturb dis Groove, Homeboy!!

[@rrg2248]

I love that gentle-voiced Amber is also a tenor sax player - that’s her on the track!

[@lesliegriffin7072]

The COLDEST 🖤 GROUP EVER....... MOONCHILD sends me to the moon 🌙. I'm so connected

[@bnatural0415]

Such a shame that dope groups as such will never get any airplay on wack mainstream. This is the main reason I DO NOT listen to mainstream. They get my vote 10x over!!

[@chaunseybillings5381]

I ♥️ there music i love playing Moonchild on Sunday nights

[@nisha11nm]

Where have you been all my life. You just want me to get in touch with my inner self my soul to the core. I am in a shook damn moment. So glad I found them
