There’s a simplicity to “Stella Brown,” that can be amazing at times. There’s a Strokes vibe for certain, but I hear many other influences after several listens.

The kids are getting into it too, which is exciting to see. Good music will always live on.

What’s even more exciting is Jelani’s back catalog of music that we can delve into, where he runs through styles reminiscent of Blur, Frank Ocean, and Interpol. I love that he tries his hand at pop, rap, reggae, and rock. Jelani Aryeh is nothing if not versatile.

He’s a cool cat who’s been paying dues for a while now, so it’s time we all start paying attention to the man and his music.

I think we will, as he’s getting a lot of radio play on SiriusXMU and garnering a nice little cult following.
