(July 1, 2021) Cliff Beach is at home when he is throwing his head back and belting out a good soul or funk tune. He’s earned an award winning reputation doing just that with his brew of soul, traditional R&B, jazz, funk and neo-soul that he calls “Nu Funk.” In the 15 years that this DC native and Berklee School of Music grad has been doing his thing in So-Cal, Beach has earned nominations for three LA Music Awards, a Hollywood Music in Media Award and several other citations for albums Who is Cliff Beach and The Gospel According to Cliff Beach.
Now, Beach returns to the forefront with the delightfully fun and funky declaration of rhythm with the song “I Got Soul.” This track has the energy that you would expect from a man who asserts that he can lose anything from his wealth to his health, but that feeling that he feels when he hears that thumping bass and those kicking drums ain’t going nowhere. Soul is embedded in Beach’s DNA. Everything else is optional, but for Cliff Beach the soul that is deep down in his bones is non-negotiable. Check out “I Got Soul” Here.
