R&B Artist MODLEE Unveils New Album And Single “SOUL URGE”

Published

on

&B songwriter and vocalist MODLEE returns with infectious new single “SOUL URGE”, the title track from her newly released album. With roots in Quebec and Jamaica, and having often travelled between Quebec and the United States, MODLEE has been greatly influenced by jazz, soul, R&B, gospel and reggae, all of which are captured within her unique sound.VIDEOS BELOWHaving appeared as a guest vocalist on a number of tracks with artists including Alaclair Ensemble, KNLO and Eman, it’s clear MODLEE is a talented vocalist with a lot to offer. With previous well-received releases Sunwalk (released via Soulection), Analog Love and Queendom, MODLEE has established herself as one to watch, something which she is now capitalising on with her new music, already gaining a spot on the lineup at this year’s Montreal International Jazz Festival.

Working closely with producer Vlooper, “SOUL URGE” captures MODLEE at her best: infectiously danceable, subtly experimental, catchy and reassuringly warming. Blending a swinging beat with deep bass, subtle layers of synths and MODLEE’s velvety vocals, the track possesses an otherworldly quality allowing it to be both commercially viable and musically complex at the same time.

Speaking more about “SOUL URGE”, MODLEE says, “I wanted to create what I call a soulful banger. This song took a little time to find the right sonics to fit the lyrics though. We wanted to give it a feel of live instruments but at the same time with some tight produced drums so we could play it in the club.”

The title track from the new album, “SOUL URGE” sets the scene for an album full of both hip-hop and electro influences that come together with MODLEE’s R&B tendencies to capture a fascinating sonic experience. The single and album are available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://modlee.bruit.app/soulurge.

Published

on

In the world of music, where passion and perseverance are key, Mike Alexander is making a name for himself as a talented rapper and entrepreneur. Born in Long Island, New York, and raised in Queens, Mike’s story is one of resilience and determination.

The Roots of Creativity

Growing up in the vibrant neighborhoods of Queens, Mike was exposed to a diverse range of musical influences. From the legendary rap icons of the 90s like Biggie and Tupac to the soulful sounds of R&B, Mike’s musical journey began with a passion for creativity. “I started with listening to rap music when Biggie, Tupac, Nas, and AZ were making music,” he says.

Staying True to Himself

So, what sets Mike apart from other artists in the industry? According to him, it’s his ability to stay true to himself and not worry about what others think. “I think me not thinking about what makes me different and just doing me,” he explains. This authenticity shines through in his music and personality.

A Vision for Success

In the next five years, Mike sees himself achieving great things. He’s working on building his online clothing store, WeCrew Apparel, and plans to open a main store. He’s also passionate about giving back to his community, with plans to start a non-profit organization that provides essential items to those in need. “I see myself having a main store for my online clothing store… and making a non-profit giving away bookbags, school supplies to the kids, and Turkeys on Thanksgiving to the homeless,” he declares.

The Power of Motivation

So, what motivates Mike to pursue his dreams? It’s the love and support of his family, particularly his kids, girlfriend, parents, and brother. “Me, my kids, my girl, my parents, my brother,” he says. These relationships drive him to succeed and make a positive impact.

A Unique Approach

Mike’s approach to music and life is refreshingly laid-back and balanced. As an introvert-extrovert, he finds inspiration in his daily life and channels it into his music. “I be in the crib a lot with my son, then I go across town to my studio apt and try to find inspiration to write,” he explains. This unique blend of creativity and hard work sets him apart from other artists.
