A little throwback from adventure soul duo M&O, formerly known as Milo and Otis.
My soul sister introduced me to this lovely Chicago twosome that captivates a mystical blend of scintillating soul, raw R&B, and cheeky lyrics. Who ever thought "baa baa black sheep" would make for such a jazzy hook iced over a rhythmic proclamation of individuality?
"Black Sheep" is off M&O's first album, The Joy, which also features a collaboration with fellow Chi-Townie Chance The Rapper, titled "Lift Up." If you're feeling Milo's sweet and haunting vocals, and wouldn't mind them meshed with her captivating spoken word and Chance's idiosyncratic rap style and tetchy vocals, download the free track here!
Their latest album, Almost Us, is available now. If you find yourself drawn to this funky yet endearing tune, yet feel an insatiable hunger for some more electronically fused yet simultaneously laid back sound, jump on the album here.
