Lela Sophia’s music entices and fills a void we never knew existed. Hailing from the heart of Soho in New York City, the Moroccan and European singer/songwriter’s art speaks not of timeless love, or heart break, but of personal ruminations of overlooked by mainstream.
Her angelic voice overwhelming entrances, effortlessly dancing between complex chords and harmonies giving a sophisticated sound to neo-soul and R&B. Her performances marry the vocal styles of Nancy Wilson and modern artists like Yukimi Nagano of Little Dragon, pulling from her background in classical and jazz training.
Lela will be performing live at ‘Uptown Soul Lounge’ in NYC later this month, where she introducing new music off of her ‘Introspection’ EP. In the meantime, take a listen her music below:
One Love PLUMS!
