It's hard to imagine two more happening babes than Floetry singer Marsha Ambrosius and emcee Natalie Stewart, a.k.a. the Songstress and Floacist. The UK duo's Floetic debut has it all--smooth R&B, soulful jazz, hip-hop, spoken word, supple ballads and a warmth that cradles the listener from beginning to end. In short, it's exquisitely, decidedly feminine. The pair occasional raise the roof with sizzling rhymes and beats, but they clearly place a premium on vibe, evident in Floetic's mostly chilled, after-dark feel.
Jill Scott and Michael Jackson have already benefited from Floetry's deft songwriting; Jacko covered Floetry's "Butterflies" on his Invincible disc. A demo version of that song is included here, but that's the least of the bounty. "Hello" is pure honey, with the women's silky voices braided in harmony while the dreamy, gently gurgling "Sunshine" is like a soundtrack to a daydream. Comparisons abound (Lauryn Hill-meets-Dionne Warwick as scored by a blunted De La Soul maybe?) but perhaps the best description of Floetic yet unearthed is "sass and soul". At almost 70 minutes long it's a steal. --Kim Hughes
Description
Mercury Prize-nominated debut album from London-born femalenu-soul/hip-hop duo. The pair are big news in the US, thanks to their songwriting credits for such stars as Michael Jackson and Jill Scott. Their sultry, downtempo and melancholy songs are powered by the combination of smoothly sung soul vocals and spoken-word "floetry" in the vein of the Last Poets or Gil Scott-Heron.
