For the past 5 years, FEMI helped pioneer a visionary music community in her native Bay Area. She is often categorized as a neo-SOUL soulstress and compared with artists such as Sade, Prince and Minnie Ripperton. Yet her experimental fusion transcends easy genres. “Sweet Water Soul” incorporates heavy doses of jazz, soul, hip-hop, and Caribbean influences, a melodic hybrid of the pulses of Oakland, New York, and Latin America. In the same vein, FEMI is called beyond “just” being a singer and performer; She wrote, composed, and arranged all of the material on the record, and was heavily involved in the studio recording process with pc muñoz, a San Francisco-based producer with Talking House Records esteemed for challenging musical boundaries.
Sweet Water Soul’s introductory track, “Sweet Water (Rezo)” — rezo meaning prayer — gives thanks to the love and protection of God and to FEMI’s favorite orisha, Oshun, a river deity symbolizing prosperity and sensuality. “Oshun energy is always present in my life,” she says.
