Comparisons abound (Lauryn Hill-meets-Dionne Warwick as scored by a blunted De La Soul maybe?) but perhaps the best description of Floetic yet unearthed is “sass and soul.” And, at almost 70 minutes long, it’s a steal. “Hello” is pure honey with the women’s silky voices braided in harmony while the dreamy, gently gurgling “Sunshine” is like a soundtrack to a daydream. A demo version of that song is included here, but that’s the least of the bounty. Jill Scott and Michael Jackson have already benefited from Floetry’s deft songwriting Jacko covered Floetry’s “Butterflies” on his Invincible disc. The pair occasional raise the roof with sizzling rhymes and beats, but they clearly place a premium on vibe, evident in Floetic’s mostly chilled, after-dark feel. In short, it’s exquisitely, decidedly feminine. duo’s Floetic debut has it all–smooth R&B, soulful jazz, hip-hop, spoken word, supple ballads and a warmth that cradles the listener from beginning to end. It’s hard to imagine two more talented hipsters than Floetry singer Marsha Ambrosius and emcee Natalie Stewart, a.k.a. Release Name: Floetry-Floetic-CD-FLAC-2002-THEVOiD
