As part of our upcoming album release, our first ever as a quartet with Todd Pentney aka ‪@hifilo‬ on keys and synths, we recorded a few videos live off the floor at Union Sound Company (www.unionsound...), one of them being this cover of "Say Yes" by the legendary R&B duo Floetry. It's one of our all time favourite songs and has been a staple of our live shows for a while now, so it was time to pay it some respect!! Some folks over at The Rolling Stone put this gem among the 100 Greatest R&B Songs Of The 21st Century earlier this year, and we wholeheartedly agree 🖤
The UK jazz/soul/R&B/hip hop crossover music scene has always been and continues to be a big influence and inspiration for so many of us, especially with the explosion of talent there in recent years (shout out Yussef Dayes for always inspiring us instrumentalists to keep pushing!). Floetry was undeniably a hugely formative part of that in the late 90's and early 2000's, while on the other side of the Atlantic, legends of neo-soul like D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, J Dilla and other members of the Soulquarians, Jill Scott and Bilal among many others were feeding this movement at it's roots. Together artists like these and their timeless songs and immense talent shaped music as we know it and paved the way for it's ongoing evolution. To them we are forever grateful!!!
Massive thanks and love of course to Floetry - Marsha Ambrosius ("the Songstress") and Natalie Stewart ("the Floacist") Floetry for their inspiration, and their brilliant producer/writer Andre Harris for crafting this timeless piece which has been covered, sampled and flipped innumerable times. True classics never die, and always breed endless creative inspiration. Music is our most sacred and healing universal language that reminds us we are all one connected being and community that needs to uplift and love one another to make this world a better place for all of us to share and thrive
