mutlu 12/21/06

I got to catch Mutlu, another funky artist out of Philly, in December opening for Amos Lee. A killer set, Mutlu let his likable voice and stylish delivery charm the audience. It was obvious that most of the crowd had no idea who Mutlu was - but by the end of the set there was a long line waiting for his autograph.
Here's a snippet from his official bio -
Mutlu’s music is a clever blend of soul, reggae, hip-hop, and Brazilian jazz deriving inspiration from Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, Bob Marley, and Antonio Carlos Jobim. He avoids falling into retro phonic traps with cool grooves and a quick wit. His songs feel foreign and familiar, risky and romantic. The worldly sound of Mutlu finds the groove that makes his thoughtful, clever lyrics dance.
Enjoy (and be sure to check out Board Games - his Justin Timberlake inspired tune - fairly amusing.)
