Léla Sophia Debuts Brand New Single "NeoB" On SoulBounce.com

The undeniably gifted singer/songwriter Léla Sophia flexes her overpowering vocal ability and poignant songwriting with her new single "NeoB." Though Léla was classically trained at the age of 11, the song showcases her silky smooth jazz vocal stylings that she honed while attending the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, where she was taught and mentored by Chris Turner and classmates with singer James Tillman. Now a recent graduate from the university, Léla joins the ranks of fellow alumni Robert Glasper and Jesse Boykins III, and is ready to set in motion a very promising music career.  

Produced by Rashid Thorne and featuring New York rapper Inkie Ra, "NeoB" is the first of a string of loose singles to come while Léla preps her first full length album for the fall. 

““I wrote NeoB as a sort of mantra to myself; a message that I shouldn’t overthink love anymore. It should be simple and effortless and make sense, I just have to trust how I feel.””

— Léla Sophia

Georgia Anne Muldrow Releases Debut Rap Album, "A Thoughtiverse Unmarred."

““Unmechanized the soul is divine
more opulent than rolex time.””

— Georgia Anne Muldrow

Georgia Anne Muldrow is a seeker and truth-teller. The prophetic soul goddess's first rap album "A Thoughtiverse Unmarred," produced entirely by Chris Keys, is out today via Mello Music Group. 

Balancing a beautiful delivery with brutal honesty, the album's beats are dusty and suffused with warmth so overwhelming it practically radiates Vitamin D. The gritty drums and hypnotic loops.Georgia's rhymes are conscious, but more importantly, they speak to our deeper conscience.  These are the honest confessions of a mother who refuses to turn a blind eye to immediate and ancestral misdeeds.
