MARCOTTE

In the physiological sense, the word ‘soul’ is used to characterize the part of us that is essential to our emotions and spirituality. As a genre, it's defined as the “music that arose out of the black experience in America through the transmutation of gospel and rhythm and blues” (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, 1989). For Jordan and Sasha Marcotte, it is the term that embodies the emotional transparency in the music they compose and perform together in the group that shares their last name.

What MARCOTTE has forged together is evident not only in the songs they’ve created but in their delivery as well. Whether in their plans to ramp up live shows or their commitment to including their children in the recording and traveling processes, the pair has successfully translated the honesty and affection that characterizes their partnership into the art they create together.

Since the release of their debut release Good For My Soul, produced with Logan Murphy, MARCOTTE has no intentions of slowing down. In this six-track EP, the soul-pop duo has captured the intimacy and clarity that colors their live performances. Each track highlights the best of what each of them brings to the table lyrically and melodically and is a showcase of how what Jordan and Sasha do together surpasses any success they might achieve separately.

Featuring the ballads that earned them acclaim (notably “Obvious,” and “Stars”), a spoken word performance encapsulated within an emotive piano solo (“Outro”), and an R&B bop that will have you looking for your roller skates (“The Cure”), MARCOTTE’S Good For My Soul is a project that will leave you wanting more.
