(December 13, 2018) We didn’t know much about French soul singer Abakan, but we’re glad the chance finally came. Influenced by both 70s pop, soul and jazz performers, he creates a brand of music that straddles the fence of those genres in a way that would appeal equally to fans of Michael McDonald and Roy Ayers.
Abakan has released a new single that will definitely find a spot with soulheads around the world. “The People” uses liberal organ riffs and a cool rhythm section to establish a midtempo number that soars behind his falsetto lead.
We’re digging this single and we think you will too. Check out “The People” below and welcome Abakan to SoulTracks.
