Now that I am sober
I take back what I said
I'm sittin' with this love hangover
And boy, it's hurtin' my head
It's the middle of October
And we just came to an end
I'm just sorry that there ain't no time left
You and I, we're over
Me and you are done
When I wanted to be closer
You just wanted to run
Though I know it's no ones fault
If I've learned anything at all
With us, no matter how I add it up, uh
One plus one is none

[Verse 1]
You've been on my mind for a while now
Tryna get you off 'cause this ain't right now
You said it was a vibe for the time being
It was nothing more, but I just couldn't see it
This is not a song for the whole world
Felt like it could've been us against the whole world
Baby, you were mine and I was your girl
Whatever happened to the time that we spent

Sleepin Giant is an Amsterdam-based producer who has been bidding his time for over a decade, refining his craft, honing his voice. Purple is his first official release, following a debut appearance on Brussels’ On Point label in 2012 for the Sweet Rendez-Vous remixes.

Purple has been two years in the making, a journey that began with the track Glitch written with NYC-based poet Aja Monet. It was on the strength of this demo that Original Cultures convinced Sleepin Giant to put together a whole EP of his own soul music. Another two vocalists were added to the mix: Bristol’s Romaine Smith, a young singer full of promise who has worked primarily with Typesun, and Amsterdam’s Ruben Hein, signed to Blue Note and one of Holland’s most striking voices.

The music on Purple is soul, plain and simple. It draws from the same spiritual place as the likes of D’Angelo, The Roots, Erikah Badu or Jay Dee - from inside, from the soul. It’s music to fall in love to, music to make love to, music to dream to. On each of the five songs the vocalists recount stories we can all relate to, stories of love, of things past, of things coming. The musical backdrop is stripped down to its bare essentials with an irresistible interplay between drums and bass alongside warm, sultry melodies that compliment the singing.

Purple is to be released on digital and 12” vinyl, featuring cover art inspired by the legendary Ohio Players albums, in mid April. It will be preceeded in late March by a digital single featuring Let’s Get Serious and an alternate version of Hey Girl. In early May remixes from Typesun, Lewis James and EAN will be released digitally along four dancefloor tracks created during the process.

Blending their unique concoction of sensual sound and poetic justice, Floetry is set to return to the musical landscape with their third CD, Flo'ology. This time, Marsha Ambrosius (the Songstress) and Natalie Stewart (the Floacist) remain true to form by uniting passionate vocals and elegant spoken word with the rhythms of classic soul, funk and a little bit of island spice! But while the tried-and-true formula that worked so well for Floetic garnered praise by critics and gave the London duo a devoted fan base is the same, the pair are quick to point out the differences between Flo'ology and the themes exemplified on their six-time Grammy nominated debut album and its follow-up
