Sounds Like: Intelligently theatrical Soul, R&B, Jazz, Funk, and Rock marinated through and through with the most intriguing Hip-Hop, baked by the Black experience, then lightly seasoned with a Futuristic other-worldliness. Mere words are not sufficient enough to describe the fantastic musical journey of The Vibemachine, but this description comes awful close. I played a track for a well-known artist the other day and they said it sounded like some futuristic George Michaels sh*t. Basically, something you don't hear too often. Enjoy.
