Jae Franklin is a singer/songwriter, and due possibly to her upbringing in the US and travels around the world, she contributes a unique voice to sophisticated soul music that pushes boundaries lyrically and musically. A departure from the type of saturated soul acts in the US, Jae moves forward by compiling a project that incorporates afrobeat and nu jazz to a harmonious, global sound.

The final product is cool: live electric guitar mixed with percussion is a description of soul music that should be heard. Reminiscent of Maxwell and Sade, you may think it’s a cross between the two.
