K Avett

My Featured Artist this week is a young lady from Dallas, Texas, that's Ms K Avett. I played a track last week from her debut album "Revelations" but I thought this week I would dig a little deeper. There's no doubting this lady is a star on the rise, so I consider it my soulful duty to bring her to your attention. I was very surprised this week to receive new material from William DeVaughn  because it's been such awhile since I last heard stuff from him. He has teamed up with Philly Nouveau on the track "Slow Down," and very nice it is to, so here's hoping it brings William back to the forefront of music and leads to further recordings with them or maybe even a new solo album. The 1980 set "Figures Can't Calculate,"  being his last outing as far as I can remember.

Soul legend Willie Clayton also has a new album, it's always nice  to hear from Mr C., his new single is entitled "I'm So Blue."  London based Gospel outfit Kase Sounds are back with a debut album for imminent release and a new single in "Your Love," continues the high standard they give us (video at foot of page). There's a few other real nice new tracks to look out for, so pay attention! lol. Exciting news for the Science of Soul! It's all been agreed that the show will be available on Australian based Jazzysoul Radio, and that's in the very near future, the most likely day is a Thursday, I will keep you posted on that. It's Music Time......

K Avett's  Biography:

Many artists find themselves locked in a box –somehow held prisoner by a certain genre.  This is not the plight of singer-songwriter K.Avett.  When asked to describe her music, one quickly detects her hesitation to place a label on the music she so loves.  That’s because she loves it all and feels that it has shaped her style in so many ways.  “On any given day, I can go from Sade or Annie Lennox to Guns-N-Roses or The Isley Brothers.  I’m a virtual hodge-podge of musical tastes,” she muses.  However, it wasn’t always so. 

Growing up with a heavy gospel influence, she had very little exposure to other types of music until her teenage years.  She can recall countless instances of “sneaking and listening” to blues music, (a descriptive term her parents used that included anything outside gospel).  Ironically, K.Avett is never too far from her musical roots, which is strongly evident throughout her sultry sound.  “My greatest desire is that people truly connect with me through my music.  Life is hard enough without having to crack a code to understand where I’m coming from.  Whether I’m in love, upset, heartbroken, pensive or any emotion; I want you to be able to feel it.”  And feel it, you will. 

She describes her debut album, Revelations, as a fancy fruit salad of beat-up funk, juke joint flavor, rock & old soul.  She has also found her soft spot on a multitude of online radio station playlists across the U.S.  She had her first music-film collaboration for 2014 as her song, “Take It Slow”, was featured in a short film called “Her Eyez.”  SoulTracks.com ranked her album “Highly Recommended” for 2015, in which she received glowing reviews from music lovers across the region!  With a smooth and soulful sound as authentic as the lyrics she writes, K.Avett continues to pick up momentum as she blazes through the Dallas-Fort Worth area with her live shows and events.  When asked about her trajectory as she gains momentum, she declares, “You can’t go wrong when you stay true to yourself…”
