Another Groove: Sofi Tukker Has a “Moon Tattoo”

January 11, 2017 — Welcome to Another Groove, our series featuring new music that is neither pure soul nor R&B,  but which includes elements from those genres, by artists generally categorized as outside the soul arena.  This week we feature the track “Moon Tattoo” by the band Sofi Tukker.

Sofi Tukker is a New York City-based duo composed of Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tukker Halpern which recently released their debut EP, Soft Animals.  Their music is an entrancing mix of house, dance and world music with an emphasis on compelling rhythms.  Their debut single, “Drinkee,” has been nominated for a 2017 Grammy Award in the Best Dance Recording category, and the band’s other songs are likewise worthy of your time.  

Our featured track shows the band exposing its more soulful side. Sofi lays her soft and sensual vocal over a decidedly R&B beat while acoustic guitars add Brazilian-flavored accents.  Enjoy.
