(October 29, 2019) Houstonian Samir Zarif aka FKAjazz is an artist who specializes in a hybrid of jazz, hip-hop and soul. On his recently released sophomore album, Beautifully Awkward, he leads a charge of vocalists and musicians set to provide a fresh take on genre-crossing songs through collaborations that are effective and authentic.
One of the best examples of this collaborating spirit can be found on “Feeling Felt,” featuring vocalist Natalie Oliveri, a midtempo track driven by strong percussion and a lush and warm melody. It’s a striking musical and vocal blend, with Oliveri weaving effortlessly through singing and scatting, and an arrangement that continuously evolves throughout the track, keeping the listener anticipating what is next.
