Phony Ppl underscored the new evolution of their sonic journey with their latest opus Euphonyus. This week, one of the many stand-out tracks from the album, “Nowhere But Up.” garnered the achievement of No. 2 song on the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay Chart as the official music video for the track soars in over half a million views via YouTube. Recently, the band lent their talents to the Recording Academy’s ReImagined series by flipping the Norah Jones classic “Don’t Know Why” into a jazzy, soul-stirring number.
“Phony Ppl always greets listeners with open arms — serenading them with a warm blend of R&B, jazz and hip-hop sounds. On “been away.,” off its newest album Euphonyus, the Brooklyn-based band joins strings and the piano. A swooning, melodic force anchors the song without overwhelming it; drumbeats hold an adagio pace steady, while bass guitar quietly strengthens the track’s rhythmic pulse.”
