Smooth Sailing: Suntanned Lounge & Summer Chill

Joan Smalls Instagram

Enjoy yet another trip on my lounge boat! One of the tracks on this new Smooth Sailing episode is Les Fleurs by Minnie Riperton:

“Les Fleurs found Riperton imagining herself a flower budding into bloom, a hippy-dippy metaphor for every soul realising its true potential.”

(The Guardian)

Sool combine the best of music from France and California. L.A. native Art Bleek and French singer Mercy Collazo mix up pop, soul and electronics. Their EP Quite Obvious is the result of this highly unique collaboration. It’s out on Tokyo Dawn Records now.
