Quite surprisingly, in the last decade Soul music has become one of the most experimented genres in NYC and beyond. Snubbed by most of the creative musicians for decades, Soul is now, probably for the first time, something that’s not immediately associated with mainstream. Raised in London and currently based in NYC, Oyinda is an emerging Nigerian soul singer songwriter and producer who is pushing the genre’s envelop in a very personal, dark, borderline experimental direction. Single "What Still Remains" (streaming) features a sparse but bold production, where buzzy, at times distorted synths challenge her impressive vocals in volume, building a moody atmosphere that defies the genre’s redemptive tendencies. Don’t miss her show at Baby’s All Right on Saturday 11.15 with Tei Shi and Yumi Zouma.
