Every Monday, 88Nine music director Erin Wolf shares a sonic gem she found using her nearly 20 years of new-music exploration experience. You can hear all her discoveries at 2 p.m. every Sunday on What’s All This: Adventures in New Music.
Jack Stratton is most often recognized for his work with the Michigan-based funky soul-pop band Vulfpeck. He’s one of the founding members, playing keys, drums and guitar. His offshoot project, Vulfmon, recently enlisted the sweet-voiced Evangeline to take the spotlight on a fresh song called “Got to Be Mine” and kick things up a notch with her breathy popstar appeal that’s perfectly suited for the playful lightness of the song.
The orchestral and woodwind-laden funkiness of “Got to Be Mine” fits naturally with Evangeline’s delivery, making it a totally fun, fluffy and flute-y jam. You can find it later this year on the forthcoming record from Vulfmon called dot on his very own Vulf Records label, as well as right here in this episode.
