Nola Adé – “Cool”

Everybody needs a little soul in their music rotation and Nola Adé has it for you with her new single “Cool.” The soulful and jazzy song can be found on her The Love Dance EP.

The song came to Nola during a walk on a subway platform in New York while a neighboring horn player played pieces of “Cool Like Dat” from Disable Planets, which sparked a melody and lyrics.

“I wanted to find a way to merge that jazzy style with Soul/R&B and Hip Hop, and the song transformed into something totally different, and I loved it so much!,” Nola tells Afropunk. “It is, as you hear it today, a song that embodies who I am as an artist, the different levels of who I am.”
