U & Me
by Phyllisia Ross · 2016 · rnb · 3:30 · Haitian Creole, French
U & Me sets Phyllisia Ross in an R&B frame where piano, voice and intimacy carry the Haitian diaspora presence more than a dance-band arrangement does. The distinction matters, because it means the lead instrument is not a section: it is her. She has sung and played piano since the age of three, and a record that puts those two things together with nothing else making noise is where that training shows most. Three minutes thirty, released in October 2016 on her channel.
