Love Universal proudly presents "Higher Self," the debut 2x12" LP from Chicago's own KSmooth da Programma. This record is a profound journey into the heart of Nu Chicago Soul, a genre that reimagines the city's rich musical legacy by blending the soulful depth of classic R&B with the intricate rhythms and forward-thinking production of House Music.

Recorded and produced in the city that birthed it, Higher Self is more than just an album; it’s a spiritual odyssey, a testament to the power of self-discovery and a celebration of Chicago's enduring musical spirit.

The Sound of Nu Chicago Soul

Nu Chicago Soul is a sonic tapestry woven from the city's diverse musical heritage. It's the smooth, melodic vocalisations reminiscent of Curtis Mayfield and Minnie Riperton, layered over the syncopated, four-on-the-floor beats of house music pioneers like Frankie Knuckles. KSmooth da Programma expertly navigates this soundscape, infusing each track with a palpable sense of authenticity and innovation. The result is a sound that feels both timeless and entirely new—a reflection of Chicago's ever-evolving cultural landscape.
