Xam Volo – Old Soul (Universal Music)
 |
| Xam Volo - Old Soul |
Release Date: Out Now
Ironically, Neo-soul is the genre
used to describe 23 year old Xam Volo (Sam Folorunsho to his mum), ironic
because his new single is called ‘Old Soul’. More ironic because this track
starts with the kind of swinging, Jazz influenced guitar that you would expect
to hear wafting from the bars on the south coast of France. Soon enough,
however, a smooth beat kicks in, a groaning bass line slides in and Xam Volo’s
voice just impresses from the first breath. Here is a pretender to the Gregory
Porter throne in terms of vocal ability and range but with more of Prince about
him in terms of his creativity and curiosity when it comes to the music. And he’s
only 23. Expect big things, very big things.
