Verses, which dropped last week, sees the maturing Santiago venture further into the realm of neo soul while nonetheless staying true to his jazz roots. This is accomplished by the welcome addition of vocalists Proper-T, Amyna, Farr Well, Vinny Crook$ and Melanie Charles to the mix. Watch the video for “Yesterday”, the lead single off the EP below. Better yet, if you like what you hear, go cop the record on Bandcamp!
