Virginia artist and performer Mandu Soul smoothly captures the evocative essence of a simpler time, with the classically rooted and divine new single Destiny.
Following a simple piano pattern that subtly tips its hat to Jazz, Motown, and RnB, Destiny then brings a crisp and honest vocal line, meandering through poetic scenes of reflection, metaphors and moments, on the depth of love and lasting romantic connection.
It’s an established but distinct voice, no doubt a calling card that will ring loudly, as Mandu Soul prepares to launch one more single this month, and a full album in the coming weeks. There’s both intimacy and accessible reference intertwined throughout, making this feel like a personal and heartfelt ode, as well as a romanticised go-to soul classic for lovers far and wide.
Having grown up heavily influenced by Motown and the legendary stage pros like Stevie Wonder, Lauryn Hill, Michael Jackson, the inspiration for Mandu Soul’s style is clear, but alongside that, there’s also a contemporary and clean finish to the new track, and a certain delicacy and character to his voice – all of which gifts Destiny a bold sense of individual charm.
“You feel like sunshine after rain… My partner in crime, right here next to me… Some call it Destiny.”
