Classic soul/R&B album from one of the most talented new singers to come on the scene

notes

Most people can carry a tune. Some folks can sing pretty well, and there are the lucky few that manage to make a living singing. But on a rare occasion a singer comes along that makes you rethink what the human voice is capable of. A singer’s singer. Meet Mycle Wastman. Interpreting from all of the greats that have gone before him while still firmly exerting a style of his own, it is undeniable that Wastman is on par with the vocal legends of our time.

Spearheaded by the production team of Jonathan Kingham, Ryan Smith and Mycle Wastman and mixed by Juno nominated engineer George Seara (Mos Def, Sting, Holly Cole, Finger 11) The Beautiful Stay is a lush feast for the ears featuring vintage keyboard and vocal performances dripping with old soul vibe. Timeless vocals, R&B sensibilities, and classic songwriting are skillfully combined to produce a debut album that is a breath of fresh air in a time of increasingly processed factory stamped music.

The Beautiful Stay features 12 original songs written by Wastman with the help of Ryan Smith and Jonathan Kingham that glide from the funky and irresistible opening smash single “Found Wantin’ “ to the poignant and moving title track “ The Beautiful Stay”. The swinging “As long as I’m with You” brings to mind hints of early D’Angelo and the hauntingly lonely vocal performance and creeping B3 organ on “Never Love Again” could easily pass for a long lost Muscle Shoals recording session.

Mycle Wastman understands where he has come from and with the release of his debut The Beautiful Stay it is obvious he knows where he is heading.

    OK!, this really works for me and I believe it'll put the masses in a chill state of mind. From beginning to end I find this melodic tour very soothing. If you like an album you can just put on and hit play, then I'd like to recommend this to all of you for your just wanna chill moments.

  • More, please!

    Mycle Wastman is Seattle's best talent. If you have not seen him perform live yet, you need to. This is the second album I've had of Mycle's and every song is absolutely amazing! Just when you think he cannot possibly get any better, he does. He has the talent to be at the top of the charts.

  • Can't get enough

    How fortunate we are to live in Seattle where we can see Mycle perform in intimate venus and experience talent and passion which not doubt will be discovered, propelling Mycle to whereever he wants to be.

  • Amazing...

    I can't get enough of the music! The album is amazing and it is rare that every single song is good on one cd but on this album, I find myself enjoying every single song. Seeing Mycle live helps to LOVE his music because albums just don't do the musicians justice at times. I am thankful for the local gigs he does but don't understand why he isn't on a huge record deal putting him out into the big music market. I also love that he is so nice!

  • Why hasn't he made the big time yet?!?

    Mycle is definitely my latest music obsession...A friend introduced my to his music a month ago, and I was able to see him live for the first time this past weekend. He is amazing live (and recorded of course)! I strongly recommend this album. After hearing my friend's copy, I just ordered my own! I can't wait to get it...In the mean time, I'm heading to a local bistro to hear him tonight! I seriously can't get enough...If you don't have this album, you need it :D It is "refreshing"..."As Long As I'm With You" is one of my fav tracks...Thanks for something new and fresh, Mycle! Keep it up!
