Floacism (Cd +Dvd)

Includes a bonus DVD.
Floetry: Marsha Ambrosius, Natalie Stewart (vocals).
Additional personnel: Mos Def (rap vocals).
Recorded live at The House Of Blues, New Orleans, Louisiana, on July 3, 2003.
On the intro to "Sunshine," Floetry's "floacist" Natalie Stewart introduces herself and songstress Marsha Ambrosius, greeting the crowd with the refreshing angle, "It's nice to finally meet you." She continues with the declaration, "Every single song on our album was written by ourselves; it's our lives, it's our feelings, our emotions, it's our truth." This phrase sums up the feel of Floetry--word-driven, positive, and wonderfully warm. The passion flows through the duo on their second record FLOACISM, which features three new studio songs followed by a live show at the New Orleans House of Blues.
The album starts with Mos Def and the twosome trading riffs over Average White Band's "School Boy Crush," one of the most durable backdrops (think Eric B. & Rakim's "Microphone Fiend") on the fetching single "Wanna B Where U R." Stewart & Ambrosius add two more soulful songs before they welcome us "to the Floetry experience," and it truly is an experience, as Floetry reveal just how powerful two voices can be, whether singing, rapping, genuinely bantering with the audience, or waxing operatic. FLOACISM is a clarion call to the world of neo-soul that Floetry is for real.
