FEMI's debut, a six track EP titled Sweet Water Soul (Talking House Records), features funky grooves of hot buttered soul and a sweet sultry voice that echoes Sade at the height of her popularity in the 80s. With a stunning visual picture of her music, FEMI takes you "there" right inside the music. Her sensuality and style draw you in and refuse to let go. This kind of command and power are indeed a rarity today. The music of FEMI has a crossover appeal that you can relate to on many different levels. Her sound is a unique and compelling blend of neo-funk meets soul with roots that reach down deep and draw from the wellspring of Afro-Latin/Caribbean rhythms, jazz, hip-hop, salsa and rock. The music sounds like it could be equally effective blasted on a dance floor of a late-night club or played softly on your stereo in the car en route to work. Tracks such as "Imported" which feature spicy Spanish-rhythm guitars were inspired by her first trip to Puerto Rico and set the stage for a suite. The concept of water is strong throughout the EP, and it is this element that guides listeners on a musical journey, painted by a romantic tapestry of flute, keys, guitar and percussion. FEMI will be touring in 2009 to promote Sweet Water Soul. FEMI live at Yoshi's
