Today’s song is “Who We Are” by Nick Moran. This is the title track off his debut album Who We Are which will be released on March 5th. The album was mixed at the Cutting Room Studios in New York City (home of Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die and Jay-Z’s Hard Knock Life amongst others) and mastered by Joe Lambert (Animal Collective, The Dirty Projectors). Growing up on Long Island, Nick took a stab at playing the trumpet and drums before finding his calling in the strength of his voice. Inspired by Sam Cooke, James Brown, Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, Moran delivers an unexpected larger than life audible treat with his debut album.
Moran has an elated, soulful vibe featuring pleasing funk and blues laced with warm vocals that have been compared to James Morrison and Stevie Wonder.
