NYC/CT soul octet Mad Satta premieres video for “Simpler Times” + plays Highline Ballroom on 07.10

Having just released their EP ‘Break Me Free,’ Connecticut/New York soul octet Mad Satta today premieres through our blog the music video for the work’s second single, “Simpler Times.” Elegantly infusing present struggle into a reflection on past joy, this horn-blared song is almost intensely candid. However, behind these crisp visuals, which intercut scenes of frontwoman Joanna Teters quietly singing and her band jovially playing, the track becomes a melancholic yet ultimately triumphant piece of musical meditation. Watch the music video for “Simpler Times” below, and head over to here to find out more about Mad Satta’s summer tour. The band will be opening for SF’s R’&B songwriter Goapele at the Bowery Ballroom on July 10th. – Zach Weg
