Jul 11 : "Rep. Maxine Waters" - Jelani Sei (Hartford + New York)

New Music / Freshly Written & Recently Released (March 2018)

Last week I went to Mercury Lounge and saw Jelani Sei for the first time. Their members are from both Hartford and New York, they're "electro-ebonix", and they're "future-soul". And they played to an absolutely packed house!

As I was exploring their website before the show, the song that really caught my attention was "Rep. Maxine Waters", which is a fairly new piece, having been released just this past March. Read the lyrics as you listen; they're written as if Rep. Waters might be voicing this herself.




If you'd like to read the lyrics while you listen, here is the click to the song's Bandcamp page ::: Listen and read lyrics REP. MAXINE WATERS



Jelani Sei does have another show coming up on September 7th at Trans Pecos. In the meantime, here is the click to their Facebook page where you can find out more about them: Jelani Sei on Facebook (CLICK HERE).
