Search - Nadir :: Distorted Soul

Some say that innovation is dead, long since buried beneath old-school soul that dons contemporary threads. But that ain't so. Put your ear to the ground of this new sound born of funk, rock and soul born of melodies that ain't part-time mellow but full-time bold. This sound that plays your eardrums like the congas making your head bob and you wonder... Hmph. This sound is baaaaad. This sound that makes conspiracy cool that makes you think of politics as you switch your hips to a beat that makes your backbone slip while rhythmic intellect keep the lyrics legit. This sound that makes emotion electric, making heartbreak seem so smooth, you wish you had a taste of the ache yourself so this sound can strum your spirit and get you back in your groove. This sound that reaps what the past has sown that still croons of love and liberation that heaps fresh chords on themes sought, sung and sold. This sound, this music, call it Distorted Soul, call it renaissance funk, call it blues now seared red from rock 'n' roll coals. Some say innovation is dead but listen up, that ain't so. by Tasneem Tewogbola
