Akori [2021] - Siesta [mañanamusic] (Full EP)


Akori from Raleigh, NC, debuted in 2019 with a five track EP "AM Therapy" (I've included a video of the best track "Way Back When" below). She released another five track EP "Siesta" on 21 May 2021. It features her only other release, a single from 15 Feb 2020.

All tracks are ethereal Neo soul/R&B with breathy vocals and dreamy instrumentation.

NB "Is It Hot In Here?" samples a track by J!immy "Love You" released in 2019 which almost certainly samples a 60s/70s sweet soul tune - I think it's the intro to The Ambassadors "! Really Love You" from 1969 on Arctic. 

The same sample has also been used by M.I:C on "Drunk" (2019) and Biz Levin on "Bubblin'" (2021). I wonder if Jimmy Bishop or Kenny Gamble (the composers) know? (kerching kerching).
