Musical Mondays--Hil St. Soul

Hil St. Soul is one of the hottest underground groups on the neo-soul/jazz scene. This group offers a sound fusion of classic soul, smooth jazz, R&B, and neo-soul. One half of the group is the face, the voice, and in my opinion, the "Soul," UK diva, (Hil)ary Mwelwa; the other half is songwriter/producer, Victor Redwood Sawyer. Since 2000, the group has been on fire, releasing five albums to date. Their first album, Soul Organic (2000), dazzled Europe and took the music scene by storm. Hil’s popularly known sultry cover of Aretha Franklin’s “Until You Come Back to Me” led to the group crossing the Atlantic. With much success, Soul Organic was named on various critics’ top ten lists and Hil St. Soul was said to be a group to watch. And I have.
Other successful albums have followed over the years, Copasetic And Cool (2002-it was the group’s first album to top the US R&B charts), Soulidified (2006), Black Rose (2008), and Released (2009). All of the albums thus far have strengthened Hil St. Soul’s fan base, as well as displayed solid songwriting and diverse rhythms.
I often say it, and I’m going to say it again, the best music is found in the underground scene. Check out the playlist and get a taste of Hil St. Soul. Enjoy!!
