The Floacist ‘Floetic Soul’ (Review)

The Floacist

Floetic Soul

Released by Shanachie


Natalie Stewart, founding member of the now disbanded neo soul duo "Floetry", returns  with her highly anticipated solo debut 'Floetic Soul'. Her hiatus, which she charges to personal growth and introspection, left many Floetry fans in wonderment over whether or not a solo project was in the works. Equipped with  a slew of all star collaborations from Raheem Devaugn, Musiq Soulchild, and Lalah Hathaway, 'Floetic Soul' proves to be a less than impressive revival of the signature sound that made Stewart and former band-mate Marsha Ambrosious international music sensations. Her ...
