In The Spotlight

Sedric Perry – “Heart Of The Matter”

Originally from Philadelphia and now based in Berlin, this flamboyant singer and songwriter was raised in a musical family. His grandfather was a guitarist and his uncle was a singer and he grew up listening to gospel and jazz. With his musical style evolving to include other genres like hiphop and R&B and first moving to New York and then Germany, he created an unique fusion of sonic flavors. Inspired by Lauryn Hill, Prince and Whitney Houston, he released his debut “Naked” in 2019.

Wanting to pay homage to the legends of the golden years of soul music, his new single is an enchanting smooth groove straight from the soulful sixties. Recorded in his bedroom, he’s honouring Philly soul in every single note. With a velvety, flirtatious melody of soft percussion, mellow guitars and sleek horns creating an ear-stroking romantic atmosphere, dipped in sweet nostalgia, it’s his satiny falsetto vocals that make this tribute to legendary 60s soul a classic in its own right.

Born and raised outside of Philadelphia, this singer and songwriter started violin lessons aged 4, but she taught herself to play guitar, piano, ukulele, bass guitar and mandolin. She started taking song-writing seriously aged 12. In 2018 she was part of Lonesome Traveler, a concert tour performing the history of folk music from Woody Guthrie to Joni Mitchell. Inspired by artist such as Delta Rae, Kelsea Ballerini and The Chicks, she released her debut EP “To New York, With Love” in 2018.

Paying homage to our roots and celebrating where we came from, her new single delves into how our lives are shaped by the hopes and dreams of our ancestors. With a melody influenced by classic folk music, the song opens with warm guitar plucks. Later joined by a mellow rhythm, calm keys and smooth violins, the tune is a deliciously silken blend.
