Staff Picks: Bobby Oroza - Get on the Otherside

For fans of: Tender Soul

What they're saying: Here’s Thomas Splett at West Coast Soul on what sets Bobby Oroza apart: Get On The Otherside shows that Bobby Oroza is not an old-school soul shouter who makes the crowd sweat with pure energy, but rather a master of soft, seductive tones.” And The Fire Note’s Christopher Anthony nicely summarizes the record’s vibe: “Dreamy swaying reverb guitar, excellent timed drums and groovy bass lines keep Get On The Otherside in a heartfelt soul genre. Bobby Oroza has successfully combated his own struggles within the boundaries of the lyrics while also finding peace in the outcomes.”

What we say: Another groovy joint from Bobby Oroza. Perfect for a nighttime drive in warm weather. (If you've taken my Durand Jones and Aaron Frazer recs in the past, take this recommendation too.) - K
