Portland native Tope, delivers a heartfelt ode to Neo-Soul Priestess Erykah Badu on “Take Your Time”. Smokey, late-night grooves, are punctuated by the silky flow of his vocals and crowned beautifully by the bluer than blue jazz outro of Jill Scott trumpeter, Farnell Newton. I implore you, check out Tope’s latest album ‘Trouble Man’.
