Felece Tillman makes a stunning debut with Soulful Tales, a five-track EP that showcases her emotive vocals, heartfelt storytelling, and a masterful fusion of soul, jazz, and contemporary R&B. Known for her vocal depth and a four-octave range, the seasoned indie artist creates an intimate listening experience, capturing the nuances of love, loss, and rediscovery through her richly textured sound.
Following the success of her singles “Brighter Love” and “Tell Me All About It,” Felece delivers a project that feels personal and universal all at once. Each song on Soulful Tales offers a unique perspective, from the tender rekindling of romance on “Just When I Thought” to the reflective nostalgia of “I Can’t Forget,” a standout track that beautifully explores the memories of first love. The EP also incorporates sultry Latin rhythms, smooth jazz arrangements, and tender R&B melodies, creating a warm and evocative soundscape.
Felece’s journey, rooted in her D.C. upbringing and her education at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts and Virginia Union University, has shaped her as a vocalist and performer. Her ability to connect with her audience—whether on iconic stages like Blues Alley or through her recorded work—shines in this EP. Her performances on Soulful Tales are enhanced by collaborations with longtime friend and producer DaMone Arnold, known for his work with Jamie Foxx and Miki Howard. Together, they’ve crafted music that feels authentic, drawing on contributions from talented musicians like Al Carter (guitar), Stanley Cooper (guitar), and Eugene Chapman (saxophone).
“This EP means so much to me—it’s hard to put into words,” Felece shares. “Each song captures a different part of my life, and I hope listeners will find their own stories in my songs.” That emotional resonance is the heart of Soulful Tales, offering listeners not just music, but a shared journey.
With its blend of lush instrumentation, intimate themes, and Felece’s unforgettable voice, Soulful Tales firmly establishes her as a standout in contemporary soul and jazz. For fans of heartfelt, genre-blurring artistry, this EP is a must-listen.
