She was picked up by the Kedar Entertainment CEO Kedar Massenburg (who has signed among others Erykah Badu & D’Angelo) after she sent her demo to the labels of artists she admired. You can listen to one of the tracks from the EP called “The Plan” below:

Overall the KP EP’s production sounds organic and modern, very much like Prince’s latest albums. Some of the songs sounded very pop for me at first listening, but as I listened closer interesting variations in the arrangements sipped through and the whole thing grew on me. There’s a good live-feel to this EP, a lot of variations in rhythms, though always funky, within the the musical genres of boogie-disco, nu-soul, pop and r&b.

The Cookin Soul crew from Spain has crafted a beautiful tribute to the man and his music with their usual production flair, adding a modern sound throughout and rapping on select tracks that might help introduce his music to a whole new generation.
