The album’s fusion succeeds across genres never stumbling, spawning perpetual dopeness. The real triumph, even beyond Jackson’s rendition, is their debut, Floetic.

In Philly, Floetry began pumping their sound out into the streets, leading to work with Glenn Lewis (they penned four songs off his debut), Bilal and Cherokee while Faith Evans and Brandy anticipate their turn to be blessed. The result was no different with Floetry the talented staple was able to precisely interpret the group’s musical embodiment.

Together they have provided the groundwork for artists Jill Scott, Darius Rucker, Kenny Lattimore, and Musiq to individually build their own masterpieces. His production squad includes Andre Harris, Vidal Davis, Ivan Barias, Darren Henson, and Keith Pelzer. Jeffrey Townes, or as we love to call him, Jazzy Jeff, has kept himself quietly busy providing musical inspiration to serious artists. The self-proclaimed neo-soul mecca acts as headquarters to the Soulquarians and more importantly, A Touch of Jazz Productions. Philly native Eve forewarned us, “How many times I gotta tell you, silly / Don’t no corny shit come outta Philly”. Serious, they packed up and moved to Philadelphia to bask in the artistic sun that shines through the glass ceiling and touches the underground. Their sound is poetic narrative fused with a melodic vocal stream that confirms and celebrates the complexity and simplicity of what soul was, is and will be.įloetry blew quickly around the London performance circuit, and the two found themselves wanting a piece of the American pie.

Since the days on the court, the two have found a place in the massive, yet crowded musical space. What else would you call having Michael Jackson perform their song (virtually the same exact way it appeared on the demo) “Butterflies” on his comeback album? They did, however maintain their link to basketball through their manager J. It wasn’t until years later that the poet and songstress would put down the rock and pick up the mic to make history. The basketball court provided their first encounter and pegged them as rivals instead of partners. The London-bred duo is a union of musical fate and Floetic is their brainchild.

Contrary to the popular making-of-the-band phenomenon surrounding pop and trickling down into R&B with Mr. Marsha (songstress) & Natalie (floacist), aka Floetry, are soul mates.
