AcoustiMix: Discoveries — Victory Boyd

Today we'd like to tell you about Victory Boyd

Victory’s music is poignant and magnetic, a fusion of folk, funk and rhythm and blues that resounds beyond any single genre. She has been compared to legendary artists like Tracy Chapman, Roberta Flack, and Nina Simone. Her distinctive vocals create a rich mosaic of raw sentiment, revelatory honesty and heightened poeticism that ranges from fiery and bold to vulnerable and melancholy. Victory’s personally-charged songs bookmark moments in her evolution with a textured and layered sound that’s self-expressive, reflective and relatable. Her lyrics focus on the truth, pains and complexities of life with a variety of sonic narratives that resonate with the human experience.

Recent release: The single I Wanna Make You Happy is a sunny, symphonic pop-soul gem! 

Also check out: The Broken Instrument was released in 2018, but we didn’t discover it until this year and it instantly became a favorite. Soul Tracks calls it “a masterful three movement story of being fractured, discarded, discovered and redeemed accomplishes both. … Victory speaks through an instrument that made years of beautiful music until it broke, and the owners tossed it on the curb where it was then tossed into a garbage truck and eventually thrown into what appears to be the instrument’s final resting place – a landfill — before ultimately being rescued.”
