I really enjoy when producers put together "tribute"/"muse" projects dedicated to one artist. Almost every single time they end up being cohesive, tastefully executed, and full of focus and passion. North Carolina based beatsmith L'Orange's latest project, Old Soul, an audio tribute to the beautiful and incendiary Billie Holiday, is no different. Much like Dela's Robert Glasper beat tape and The Apple Juice Kid's nod to Miles Davis, L'Orange gathers a bushel of Billie's best and adds a twist of his own homegrown NC citrus that adds a new flavor to an already tasty slice of historic music.
L'Orange's new record is mostly instrumental, but below I'm going to go ahead and highlight the single vocal track that features Hassaan Mackey, yU, and Kelsey Lu because it's that fresh. The rest you can check out and stream/download on his bandcamp page.
