Smile

There's a very sweet spot between neo-soul, jazz, r&b, and funk and I think we've just found it.

Our dear Boyan, the producer & multi-instrumentalist who's a frequent guest on Stereofox Records, joined forces with US singer Quincy Mumford (whom we've been following since 2018).

Their collab is called "Smile" and it will indeed make you do that, thanks to its groovy basslines & drums, smooth vocals, warm keys & cheeky guitar licks. “Smile” is about seeing someone you love struggle in life. You make it your mission to bring a smile back to their face”, says Quincy.

Boyan elaborates, “Neo-soul always had a special place in my heart, early on from when I started producing. Listening to pioneers like D’Angelo and Erykah Badu was so inspiring that I knew I wanted to make something that resembles their sound. “Smile” is a track that I think combines all the right elements for a proper neo-soul vibe – live syncopated drums, chopped Rhodes & bass, and a saturated but warm overall sound. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper neo-soul track without some silky smooth vocals, so when Quincy joined, it was a flawless match! This one is the perfect late-night mood you need in your life.”
