National Public Radio show “All Things Considered” did a feature yesterday on Atlanta’s indie soul scene. It was the first of a series of shows they will be doing on cities around the country.

For this inaugural report, NPR spoke with India Arie, along with fellow musicians Anthony David and Julie Dexter, and Freddy Luster, owner of the now-defunct yet eternally classic Yin Yang Cafe, among others. You can read more and listen to the show here.

Shouts out to DJ Kemit, Darryl at Moods Music, and all those who they didn’t mention but should’ve (DJ Jamad, Joi, etc) & all the other frolaborators holding ATL down!

Definitely go see Estelle tonight in ATL if you’re around. Her new album “Shine” is getting HEAVY rotation with me! Love this album & plan on seeing her out here in LA at the Temple Bar next month.

Pre-order it or find a lil fairy online to deliver it to your downloads folder. (and then buy it when it comes out!)
