From poetry,to soul,to funk,to hip-‐hop,San Diego resident Gill Sotu is an entertainer that transcends the power of spoken word through music. His latest record “Flawed American Male” combines socially conscious poetry and catchy vocal melodies
with a unique blend of soul,acoustic,funk
and hip-‐hop elements.
With influences ranging
from Gil Scott-‐Heron to Paul Simon,
his new album is a soulful journey in the spirit of America.
Although “Flawed American Male” has a political title, it contains more of
a spiritual tone. The record touches upon
what it is to strive for perfection, yet remaining flawed. It is about recognizing
those flaws and seeing one another through
them. Sotu writes, “The album is about what
it means to be American in this rapidly changing world. To speak your mind. To fail
and begin again. To realize that we don't know everything, and that while weare
perfect in spirit, we are born with a need for each other's ability, understanding,
and love.”
