A cinematic masterclass in modern soul, blending smoky, velvet vocals with lush orchestral arrangements and late-night urban melancholy.
November 22, 2016 · ARTium Recordings
Feels is an exercise in atmospheric luxury. It does not just play; it drapes itself over the room like a heavy velvet curtain. Snoh Aalegra’s voice is the primary instrument here, a smoky, textured alto that carries the weight of classic soul singers while maintaining a crisp, modern edge. The production, overseen by No I.D., avoids the trap of generic contemporary R&B by leaning into cinematic soul. This means lush string sections, reedy woodwinds, and a sense of space that makes every track feel like a scene from a high-budget romantic drama set in a rain-slicked metropolis.
