About this user
The Easy Love embodies the spirit of soul music with their first original work, Blu Soul, a six-song meditation on the genre's most familiar subject - the pain of losing love. It's the soundtrack of heartbreak and redemption. The band blends classic 60s soul and R&B aesthetics with thoughtful, introspective modern songwriting and a modicum of hip-hop swagger.
Serafia Jane and Brandon Cobb met while studying music at Texas State University. During rehearsals for a Halloween tribute to Parliament Funkadelic's "Mothership Connection," the two discovered a mutual affection for the classic sounds of Nina Simone, Otis Redding, Etta James and Smoky Robinson as well as an affinity for contemporary artists like Amy Winehouse and D'Angelo. After graduation, the duo began writing songs that attempted to meld the passion and honesty of music of their parents' generation with the edgy, beat driven music of theirs. After two years of honing, crafting, composing and songwriting in Austin, Texas (the Live Music Capital of the World), The Easy Love is proud to bring you, Blu Soul.
With this, their debut EP, The Easy Love explores T.S. Eliot's "objective correlative" -- that which transcends the individual experience and speaks to situations that every person of sensibility has experienced. Heartbreak and loss is certainly fundamental to the human condition and there is no better vehicle to convey this than a stirring, soulful voice supported by shimmering guitars, crisp beats and deep, sobbing bass. Born from the disintegration of two long-term relationships, Jane and Cobb pooled their collective sorrow and poured every stinging rebuke, every tear stained apology and late night plea for grace into their songs. What emerged was a painfully raw yet honest depiction of betrayal and loss with a hint of new love on the horizon. Love doesn't come easy, but it's the Easy Love that lasts.
