On October 15th, 2024- Chris Murray released his first single “I Just Dropped By to Say Hello” off of his upcoming album “Classics“. “I Just Dropped By to Say Hello” is a masterful homage to classic jazz rooted in the timeless appeal of soulful vocals and smoky ballad arrangements. Chris Murray’s vocals are at the heart of this track, delivering a performance that is soulful, tender, and deeply expressive. I believe you could continue to hone in on perfecting your vocal performance, there are times when it feels the vocals go a bit off key or feel a bit over embellished compared to the instrumentation but overall Murray’s voice feels effortlessly smooth, gliding over each note with a natural ease that draws the listener in. Murray’s tone exudes a warmth and richness that aligns perfectly with the jazz ballad style, allowing the listener to feel the emotional nuances behind each word. His ability to maintain control while injecting vulnerability into the song highlights his talent and connection to the material. The arrangement is just as much a star as the vocals. Soul Frequency brings the perfect mix of classic jazz sounds to the track. The interplay between the band members feels effortless, each instrument complementing the other without overpowering the vocals. This is a wonderful addition to your discography!

Christopher Murray is a soulful jazz and blues singer based out of Philadelphia. While influenced by artists such Al Jarreau, Nat King Cole, Rachelle Farrell, and Whitney Houston, his voice always aims to be one-of-a-kind through countless years of experience singing for church and all around Philly. In addition, he is backed by a collective band of musicians, Soul Frequency, incorporating a mix of jazz/R&B/latin and even rap/hip-hop in some performances. The band will usually range anywhere from 4-piece to 10-piece–sometimes even more–because of the wide variety of musicians of different backgrounds who each have something unique to bring to the table for each song. It’s because of Murray’s powerful singing and the versatility of the individuals that they are able to deliver fresh, smooth, theatrical, groovy, and original takes on popular hits such as Summertime, Nature Boy, My Way, and many more. Murray & Soul Frequency always strive to perform at festivals and venues wherever they know the frequencies of souls resonate with the music the most
