new music: milo tain’s “black butterfly” conjures 70’s soul for a radical future #soundcheck

A commitment to depth and ambiance elevates Milo Tain’s latest single “Black Butterfly.” The singer / producer / saxophonist conjures 70’s soul, with a beat that pays homage to the great James Gadson, and a lush arrangement of vibes, keys, percussive guitars, and a stunningly swelling cacophony of sax. The rain-swept sounds rushing in and out beneath Tain’s defiant vocals. “No you can’t hold us back no more / Cause we ain’t taking this shit no more / So fly black butterfly / Fly on my sister, fly.”
