Aphrose Transports Listeners to the Golden Age of 70's Era Soul With Her Brand New Single "Good Love"
With music that moves between the golden age of 70's Soul and its modern iterations, Canadian R&B, Soul, and Neo-Soul artist, Aphrose, (Joanna Mohammed) is a stunningly expansive vocalist and creative lyricist who honours the origins of the genres through her expertly created, and historically informed sound.
With vocal dexterity that would impress her musical heroines, Aphrose's dazzling, 1970's hued sound transports listeners to a time when Soul music went beyond a musical category and into a feeling, while incorporating the Soulful sounds of today.
Raised in Scarborough in a Trinidadian household by parents who owned a record store in Toronto's West end, Aphrose gravitated to the music of Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson, eventually wrapping their influences into a sound all her own. Her truly explosive vocal talent has led the artist to performing background vocals for Daniel Caesar, Lee Fields & The Expressions, Jessie Reyez, and Charlotte Day Wilson, and after hearing her song on CBC Radio, the opening spot on Chantal Kreviazuk & Raine Maida's Moon vs. Sun tour, invited by Kreviazuk herself.
Featured in Exclaim!, on CBC Music's First Play, and reviewed on Earmilk, Aphrose's music and talent has firmly placed her on a steep incline to becoming one of Canada's leading Soul artists. As she gears up to release her sophomore album this Fall featuring both Classic and Neo-Soul, Aphrose has just released her first single from the project, a shimmering vintage Soul ballad about finding the right person titled "Good Love".
Written by Aphrose and production trio SafeSpaceship (Scott McCannell, Chino DeVilla and Ben Macdonald) who also performed on and produced the track, "Good Love" features the incredible vocal stylings of Toronto artist, Kyla Charter.
