A “New Look” for Electro Soul

Submitted by Tarik on Sunday, 10 May 2009No Comment

While the sound of Retro-Soul is almost everywhere, the sound of future soul and electro-soul or whatever the media is calling it today is bubbling under the surface with artists like Kissey Asplund, Muhsinah, Georgia Anne Muldrow, J*Davey and others. Will there be an Amy Winehouse for this new type of soul? To be honest, I don’t know. But I can I tell you this: the duo of New Look is group not to be overlooked. I first spotted New Look over at our friends at Wrong Lips.

The Brooklyn based New Look comprises of singer/model Sarah Ruba and husband, producer and multi-instrumentalist Adam Pavoa. Their sound has its foundations in 80′s R&B similar to J*Davey, but brings in more experimental sounds without sound experimental.

They have free downloadable EP entitled How’s My Hair and a track they collaborated with Detroit based electronic artist Jimmy Edgar(Warp Records). Check it out for yourself.  Here is one of my favorite tracks from the EP.
