Velvety neo-soul with a jazz musician's precision. Sophisticated, late-night grooves that feel like a warm embrace in a cold city.
Wallace creates music that feels like a modern evolution of the classic soul lounge. Her sound is anchored by a voice that is both technically impeccable and deeply emotive, carrying the weight of jazz history while floating over contemporary electronic production. There is a tactile warmth to her tracks, often featuring lush synth pads and crisp, syncopated percussion that invites a slow, rhythmic sway.
What truly distinguishes her is the way she applies her multi-award-winning jazz training to a pop and R&B framework. Instead of standard melodies, she utilizes complex vocal licks, intricate intonation, and rich layers of self-harmonies that create a dense, immersive sonic environment. It is the sound of an artist who understands the blues but chooses to dress it in high-fidelity, futuristic textures.
Start with her 2017 breakout 'Black Lake' to hear her ability to build tension through atmosphere, then move to her more recent EPs like 'Tanzanite' to experience her refined, house-adjacent grooves. It is perfect for listeners who want the emotional depth of Erykah Badu paired with the polished, rhythmic sophistication of Jordan Rakei.
