Meklit Hadero is one of those rare artists with the power to bridge genres, geography and generations. A delectable mix of folk, soul, jazz and African music, Hadero has earned comparisons to everyone from Joni Mitchell to Nina Simone. Her single “Leaving Soon” is highlighted by a mouthwatering chorus and plays like a jazzier twist on Feist or Regina Spektor’s indie pop confections. “Soleil Soleil” is an upbeat hand-clapper enhanced by swooning strings and tart trumpet notes that add a woozy psychedelic air to its sun-splashed African vibe.
