Zeal

Tiny press run, barely any distribution, and that's exactly why nobody's heard this one. It's West Coast soul that leans closer to church than to the clubs — falsetto up front, live-sounding drums, arrangements that take their time getting anywhere. No single carries it so much as the whole thing feels like a mood you step into and don't want to leave.
