Dad Hat and the soulful pop indie sunshine of "Florist" featuring Angela

There is so much to like about "Florist" by L.A. based pop /rock / indie duo Dad Hat (and featuring Maddie's sis Angela on vox) but I have to admit that the slippery smooth guitar licks dipped in jazz tones might be what hooked me into the soulful pop fray. I liked the jazz affections that, in some ways, hit me with a bit of nostalgia. The penchant for blending in jazz with pop and Angela's sultry earthiness on vox felt very 80's tonally, a time when popular acts like Sade or Hall and Oats would dip into jazz modes besides just R&B and soul / funk / pop.  

“We were so excited to blend our musical stylings with Angela’s artistry”, says Steven Gudino, singer/guitarist. “Her voice elevates the emotion of the track to a new level -- you can really feel a sense of intimacy when she sings”.
