Denise Lasalle – Trapped by a Thing Called Love

I really like the way the song goes from a kind of call and answer concept with the bass and the trumpets specifically in 0:30 and around 1:24 and then brings them together to flow so coherently.  Also the bass and the guitar with the drums carry such a steady melody that reminds me of a train and the trumpets are just the cherry on top that brings this beautiful song together.

Erykah Badu is one of my favourite women in the world. She is a one of the most famous neo-soul artists as well as Maxwell, D’angelo, and Jill Scott. Her music is influenced by R&B, soul, and, hiphop. She usually sings on looped beats. What I like from her music is that they never get old. Her vocal has old-school vibes but never sounds old.

 

This is the collaboration of Erykah Badu and Robert Glasper who is also my favourite musician.
