Simply's 'Who Is Simply Phillip Brown' doesn't drop for another four months but the artist is still working hard in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album. Simply's debut will undoubtedly bring a fresh, young urban male perspective to modern soul music. Simply Phillip Brown has created an album of music that is felt as strongly as it sounds.
Reminiscent of 1970s soul music and combined with new-millennium hip-hop, jazz and R&B, Neo-Soul has been steadily conquering clubs and airwaves the world over. It all started in the mid-1990s, when a handful of new artists looked back to more traditional sources of inspiration.
Simply displayed an eccentric individuality and creative sense early on. On the musical side he studied piano, but during his childhood writing was his main outlet.
"Who Is Simply Phillip Brown ?" Album Intro...
Art of any kind can be a tough sell, especially when everyone is pinching pennies just a little. Despite this predicament, however, great indie music has never had a hard time flourishing. There is always a market for music, and maybe even more so when times are rough. Hard times bring out creativity in artists, and passion in listeners in a way that simpler eras just cannot inspire.
It is no surprise then, that more and more genres of music are fusing together to form new styles. Neo Soul and Indie Jazz are forged together out of classical Jazz popular in 1940 and 1950, mixed with infusions of easy listening, pop, and R&B. There could be no healthier progression of music than this hybrid of styles melting together, and there is probably no better place for it than the internet. There are no nationalities online, and no borders. Artists in the US can collaborate freely with those in the UK, or in Asia. The internet is a melting pot like one never before experienced. If I sell one album or one million, I enjoy what I do, to me that is all that truly matters.
