Aloe Blacc
Stones Throw, Los Angeles
A multi-instrumentalist who (to paraphrase Archie Bell & The Drells) not only raps but can sing just as good as he wants, Aloe Blacc is truly a product of his environment. Aloe formed the indie duo Emanon with buddy DJ Exile while still in high school, and they triumphantly returned to recording their full length debut, 'The Waiting Room'. Aloe's stunning solo debut, 'Shine Through', came on Stones Throw fusing acoustic guitar-driven folk tunes, digital r&b seduction suites, and polyrhythmic workouts as deft as it is def. And he's still got the cojones to pull off a Latinized rendition of John Legend's neo-quiet storm standard 'Ordinary People'. His sophomore album, 'Good Times', emphatically emphasises his soul credentials. Bravo, Aloe!
