Since her beginnings in Floetry, Ambrosius has been a long-standing luminary in neo-soul with cuts from “Say Yes” to “Far Away.” Meanwhile, Benét is a member of neo-soul’s predecessor, R&B, boasting Grammy-nominated hits such as “Spend My Life With You.” Together, Ambrosius and Benét promise an electrifying experience.
“They’re bringing a more soulful, neo-soul sound, and I’m bringing a little more edge to my music,” Akogu says. Sunday’s show will be Akogu’s first time performing solo in Chicago. His set includes songs from his 2016 EP, The Language of the Soul, and a few unreleased tracks.
“I don’t think I make one specific genre of music. I’m a musician. I dabble in everything,” Akogu says. “I’m excited to tap into this new world and find out who i am in this new world.”
