The British band Yakul from Brighton has achieved master status in the British jazz and R&B scene with their unique fusion of future soul and polyrhythmic dexterity. Their latest EP "Outlines" received enthusiastic support from Gilles Peterson, Jamz Supernova, BBC Radio and Jazz FM in 2023. With over 6 million streams and selling out Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London twice, the band are proving their exceptional resonance.
Inspired by D'Angelo and J Dilla, Yakul combines thoughtful, soulful lyrics with deep grooves and jazzy progressions. Of particular note is vocalist and keyboardist James Berkeley, whose experimental, falsetto-like vocal style and precise control over vocal volume contribute significantly to the band's distinctive sound.
