Smooth Sailing In A Quiet Storm

This time I tried to create a contemporary variant of oldschool "quiet storm". According to pop magazine Rolling Stone, quiet storm (named after Smokey Robinson's classic song) is "a blend of pop, jazz fusion, and R&B ballads—all elegant and easy-flowing, like a flute of Veuve Clicquot champagne.”

For fans of Lianne La Havas, Frida Touray’s name and voice will be familiar, having worked with her since 2015:

“The deeply personal debut EP from Swedish & London-based singer-songwriter Frida Touray shows herself at her most vulnerable, capturing the essence of who she is and how she sees the world.” (Bandcamp)
