Algebra Blessett: National Record Store Day

For National Record Store Day in Atlanta, many great artists came out, to appreciate one of my favorite record stores, Moods Music. 


Moods Music is always my first stop when I'm looking to purchase music by great artists; major or indie! 

There was a list of artists that performed throughout the day, such as Algebra Blessett.

Speaking With Tortured Soul

Words can not begin to tell you how I felt when Tortured Soul agreed to speak with me on When We Speak...I was excited and nervous, all at the same time.  The night prior to our interview I could not sleep at all because the anxiety was just too much! 
But I made it through and Tortured Soul was so welcoming.  If you are not familiar with Tortured Soul, here's a little information:

Members (LtoR):  Jordan Scannella                                  
                            Ethan White
                            John Christian Urich

(From www.torturedsoulmusic.com)- Tortured Soul’s origins date back to 2001 while Urich was steering Cooly’s Hot Box, an acid jazz outfit also featuring under-the-radar indie soul vocalist Angela Johnson. After putting Cooly’s Hot Box on hiatus, Urich composed “Might Do Something Wrong,” which was quickly picked up by New York-based deep house label Central Park Recordings, and Tortured Soul was born. Thanks to the cool laidback mix provided by Osunlade, the song quickly became an underground staple at the iconic Club Shelter and helped jumpstart the development of a full-length disc generating more soulful house. With the 12-inch single in heavy rotation in the New York club circuit, Urich went into overtime to restructure the band’s line-up: The session players on “Might Do Something Wrong” were out; bassist Jason “JKriv” Kriveloff and slick, jazz-honed keyboardist Ethan White – formally Urich‘s bandmates in the rhythm section of NYC acid-jazz band Topaz – were in. Together, the new trio forged a new cool sound by blending the freewheeling New York house and classic disco beats with elements of hip-hop, salsa and Roy Ayers-styled jazz-fusion (Read more at www.torturedsoulmusic.com)

IDK Can Handle The Pressure!

In a world full of images of the glamorous life of music, sometimes it’s difficult dealing with the realities of the entertainment industry. For most indie artists, the "road to fame" is not as glamorous as it’s portrayed. Along with that can also come stress.

Watch as IDK shares with Jermaine Sain, how they cope with the stress of artistry.
