Acclaimed independent Funky Indie Soul band Soulganic is thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, "Family Ties," on Friday, September 6, 2024. This instrumental track features renowned jazz and funk trumpeter Stan Odell Graham (The Foreign Exchange, Little Brother, Lute) and serves as the lead single from the band's forthcoming album, Phosphene.
"Family Ties" is a bold testament to Soulganic's signature sound—a vibrant fusion of alternative soul, jazz, and funk. Infused with a deep, intricate groove and playful instrumentation, the track also incorporates fiery free jazz elements, creating a lush sonic landscape that showcases the band’s innovative and eclectic style.
Delving into a realm where funk and soul intertwine with jazz and afrobeat influences, "Family Ties" highlights Soulganic's skill in genre-bending, offering an unfiltered and tactile sound that is both refreshing and reminiscent of familiar musical roots.
"We wanted 'Family Ties' to capture the essence of our musical journey, and the musical journey of humanity itself, looking back to the dawn of rhythm and self-expression," says bassist and lead vocalist Anthony Rodriguez. "Our collaboration with Stan brought an incredible energy and authenticity to the track. We feel it's a perfect introduction to the sound and spirit of Phosphene."*
As the lead single from their forthcoming album, Phosphene—due in October 2024—"Family Ties" gives both longtime fans and new listeners a taste of what Soulganic has in store. The new album showcases the band exploring uncharted sonic territory while staying true to their groove-centric core. With each track contributing to a larger, genre-defying narrative, Phosphene promises to be a rich tapestry of sounds.
"Family Ties" will be available on all major streaming platforms starting September 6, 2024.
