"THE DEFINITION OF NEO-SOUL"Neo-Soul is a timeless musical genre that fuses real instrumental, Jazz, contemporary R&B and 1970s-style soul,funk,and rock with some elements of hip-hop. As it's name (new soul) implies, Neo-Soul music is essentially modern-day soul music, with contemporary attitudes and sensibilities. It differs from contemporary R&B in that it's organic and obviously more soulful,and it also tends to have deeper messages and meanings than R&B.

THE FLOACIST IS STICKING TO HER VALUES,Natalie Stewart,the Londoner who music fans know as The Floacist, has strong views on the pressures faced by black musicians. Those pressures came into sharp relief in the period leading up to the dissolution of Floetry, the group that made Stewart and fellow singer and childhood friend Marsha Ambrosius, famous. Floetry, one of the few alternative soul groups to achieve mainstream success, earned multiple Gold Records and Grammy nominations with the duo's blend of sung vocals, spoken word that featured mature lyrics and intimate instrumental arrangements. The Floacist (Stewart) and The Songstress (Ambrosius) refined that sound over the course of three albums.Yet by the time Floetry released Flo'Ology, their third album, the label was ready for a change. Stewart told NPR that the suits zeroed in on her. She said they wanted her to shift from spoken word to rap and to "dumb down" her lyrics. Stewart, who wanted Floetry to retain the so-called neo-soul sound, resisted. Ambrosius, however, was ready for a change. She moved to the US and released the highly regarded R&B album Late Nights & Early Mornings.The Floacist also stayed busy, releasing Floetic Soul in 2010, Floetry Rebirth, the 2012 album that included a remake of Floetry's best known song, "Say Yes," and the upcoming Rise of the Phoenix Mermaid.In a sense, the divergent roads traveled by The Songstress and the Floacist are logical. Ambrosius enters an R&B market distinguished by tight playlists and a slavish instinct to copy what works (defined as what yields hits). However, what works encompasses the hip-hop infused R&B of Beyonce, the conceptual stylings of Janelle Monae, the sultry adult sounds of Ledisi and apparently the rock/funk/soul of Liv Warfield.Does that level of stylistic diversity exist for female rappers aspiring to mainstream success, or would The Floacist find herself intruding in territory pretty much spoken for by Nicki Minaj? Stewart righty concluded that the latter scenario is closer to the truth and stuck to a genre that she helped refine, is true to her principals and also has the advantage of making her distinctive.So The Floacist releases The Rise of the Phoenix Mermaid, a solid 13-track album that touches on topics ranging from love and romance, female empowerment, commentary on the debilitating effects of materialism and sentimental yet eloquent musings on the wisdom of the family matriarch and motherhood.The rhythmic "Broken Heart" is a bass and drum driven piece that finds The Floacist using her skills to implore a young lady to resist the despair that often accompanies a painful breakup. Her flow moves close to rap as her vocals move in concert with the upright bass.The Floacist dives into her Afro-Jamaican roots on the political "Heat It Up," a track that serves as a cry for us to assert our collective humanity at a time when commercial values reign supreme. This is probably the type of record the folks in corporate hoped Stewart would eschew, but the song's theme is The Floacist to the core.Whether The Floacist is singing or flowing, the strength of her lyrics remains constant. Tracks such as the inspirational "On It," the romantic "If You Really Wanna Know" and tribute song "Grandma" confirm that her decision to stand on principal was the right one for The Floacist and her fans.

They're not together because Marsha wanted the "big time" and was willing to pay the price that goes with that fame and money, the Floacist wanted to keep it pure and untainted by commercialism and other influences in the industry which are sometimes pretty bad. I respect Marsha being a songwriter and she can definitely sing, but where I don't flow with her is that she is not really doing anything different from what the sexist and misogynistic aspects Hip Hop culture dictate to females in R&B and what they can sing about. I mean, she sings songs like "Come" and "69", and you gotta ask the question would people act like what she's doing is so unique if she wasn't English. I have several points of departure with her when she gets into her Hip Hop head mode like, "Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks sometimes" and how her taste in men in basically thuggish types or half-literate athletes. I just think music needs to move beyond the overplayed theme of sex as escapism and the damn-near worship of superior sexual technique. Marsha has more than 300 times the followers on Twitter that the Floacist does, NOT because the Floacist was talentless dead weight to Marsha, but because Marsha took the easy route to mainstream fame--the "sex sells" route. The Floacist never wanted the bright lights and big city life. I wish Marsha would go beyond just the PR pat-on-th-head type responses regarding what the Floacist is doing now. Instead of just saying, "There's no love lost, and I wish her the best in everything she does"; I think her actions should be more consistent with that statement in the form of active support, IF SHE IS TRULY STILL HER FRIEND. In this industry, saying, "I wish her the best in everything she does" is just another way of saying, "You didn't want to rock wit me, oh well you're gonna lose; good luck with that". I have a little more respect for the Floacist being naked in her video for "LET ME" than Marsha doing a video for something like, "Face down, ass up, that's the way we like to fuck"--it's basically audio porn. If it wasn't for the Michael Jackson project, she would likely be little more than yet another female in the game whose brand is built on and furthered by whatever male rapper and Hip Hop mogul affiliations she has--that's just being truthful.
