Raquel Rodriguez – Green [Single]

Raquel Rodriguez‘s light alto is always a joy to listen to, and in “Greens,” it floats perfectly over a beat that’s funky, bluesy, and well-balanced to avoid overshadowing her vocals. A brief instrumental solo, slotted neatly into the bridge, is a deft touch that delivers a subtle yet effective taste of what’s to come. In the spirit of D’Angelo‘s breakout hit “Brown Sugar,” this groove-laden number revels in the carefree vibe of smoking weed…or maybe making love. Nah, it’s definitely about weed, LOL. It’s a chill song with a nice groove, good writing, and an excellent vehicle for Raquel‘s voice to cast its strongest spell.
