Are You A Fan of Fayola?

Love, Hate & Passion 

Good R&B is hard to find, good Neo-Soul is even harder.  I like to think it's like searching for a needle in a haystack hoping that the horses don't eat it before you find it.  Fayola's Love, Hate & Passion is the needle that I was happy to find.  Between the songwriting, vocals and music production she does what Neo-Soul is supposed to do and that is speak to the soul.

Personally, I am in love with her vocal styling.  Her technique does an amazing trick of paying homage to past neo-soul influences and spinning it to be her own.  New listeners may pull out a lot of comparisons but hearing the journey this artist is making with her music will shift from comparisons to admiration.

Songs like, New is very reminiscent of the type of records being released by Chrisette Michele.  Where as song like Love is Love & Today is the Day provides a refreshing unique sound that boasts her talents as a singer-songwriter.  Other times you hear the Jill Scott sound poke out, ultimately, Fayola does the job of bringing out her personality and pulls your soul into her music.


If you can't take it straight from the horses mouth, take it from me, Fayola is a needle that shouldn't be in the haystack.  Check out her site and let us know, Are You A Fan Yet?
