Kindred the Family Soul – Where Would I Be

Damn. The Funky Snob wasn’t aware that they made a video for this:

Kindred the Family Soul – Where Would I Be


I was always curious why married duo Fatin Dantzler and Aja Graydon never got the same shine as Hidden Beach labelmate Jill Scott.



Their debut, 2003’s Surrender to Love was criminally underrated and spawned this sweet track (remember?):

Kindred the Family Soul – Far Away


Kindred has the same “neo-soul” slant (even though The Funky Snob hates the tag “neo-soul”) and the same warm fuzzy “nutritionally good for the soul” Philly vibe thing going on. Perhaps it’s their “gimmick” (for lack of a better word) – a “strong down-to-earth married couple with kids professing their love through music.”

A hard sell? Perhaps.

But it shouldn’t be.
