New Interview: Amp Fiddler

The Detroit native is inadvertently "doing battle" with the release of Afro Strut, delving into love, life and the simple things that you just can't get off of your mind.

New Interview: Lina

Lina is the rare artist that channels the spirit and vibe of a bygone era. Effortlessly merging the vocal style of jazz standards and 1920s swing with a modern production style, Lina has a sound that is all her own. Lina's third album, the positive and effervescent Morning Star, is equals parts vintage and modern, giving fans more of her timeless and unique sound.

SF: Om Soul w/ Vikter Duplaix
Friday April 11

LA: Russell Taylor & Lina
Saturday April 19

Come check out two Nu-Soul artists at LA's Temple Bar on April 19. Russell Taylor and Lina! This is going to be one soul-stirring show!!!

Read the Russell Taylor interview

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,

Norman Mayers
