New Orleans singer, songwriter, and former lead vocalist with Galactic,
Erica Falls released a new single "Up" on Friday. It's from a forthcoming album "Emotions".
She was lead vocalist with New Orleans funk band Galactic from 2015
but has recently decided to leave to go it alone. Modern soul lovers
may be interested to learn that Corey Glover (of Living Color who had
a modern soul anthem "Little Girl" taken from his 1998 "Hymns" album) preceded her in
2014.
Erica has performed and/or recorded with Sting, Jennifer Hudson, Joe
Sample, Dr. John, Allen Toussaint amongst others and in 2018 released
her debut solo album "HomeGrown".
Including her latest single, she has
released half a dozen singles/EPs to date since 2011 but we think this
is her best to date with shades of Lynn Davis' recent superb single
"Beautiful You" which is still receiving plenty of airplay. However, check out her double
single "Dreams" / "Old Records" from 2014 and a few nice tracks on her 2011 EP "Me, Myself & Music".
This new single just oozes class and quality and we think we'll be hard pushed to find a better song this week, month or even year and this will most certainly be up there in the end of year reckonings!
Her bio has a great line "vintage soul is not about bringing the listener back to a time of
authentic music, it’s about reminding them that it never went
anywhere". Amen to that!
Erica has a GoFundMe page to raise funds to help her buy a van (as rental costs are prohibitive) so she can tour for the album release.
