For the Bay Area based neo-soul collective, fronted by Adi Gobert & Daniel Erik, this marks their first release after their successful debut album “Deerlion” dropped in the winter of 2018. 

Adi Gobert and Daniel Erik, the leaders of the musical project, came together to write this song at their favorite songwriting spot in Mendocino County. Have you ever dated someone that has trouble dealing with their strong emotions when they come up? ”Nourish Me” is a tribute to all humans that offer their patience, presence, love, and tender affections to their moody lovers, partners, and spouses that can be so wonderful, but so temperamental. 

Musically,  the song is emblematic of Speakeasē’s deepening interest and passion for neo-soul and contemporary jazz. Less traditional than classic soul or R&B, the band experiments with new sounds and grooves, taking the frustration of a tumultuous relationships and hand mixing it with soul food to create “Nourish Me”.

Paired with the talented Robin Applewood, an acclaimed local producer, the band spent a day recording “Nourish Me” in front of a green screen. The result is an aesthetically pleasing video, which Applewood and Speakeasē decided to release along with a live recording.
