"Soul shaken, not stirred." – WNYC
Brooklyn’s Brandi & The Alexanders deliver a high-concept, genre-defying sound: think Chaka Khan fronting Chic to cover Fela Kuti, set against the horizon of a psychedelic-soul meets yacht-rock sunset. Led by the commanding vocals of Brandi Thompson—a powerhouse force recently heard on Neil Young’s 2025 world tour—the band blends the sun-drenched, smooth textures of late-70s yacht rock and disco with the gritty, rhythmic precision of 90s G-Funk era vocal stacks.
The group’s current era is a cinematic collision of sub-genres. They weave together the sophisticated, dark-hued grooves of post-disco with the relentless, hypnotic pulse of Afrobeat. It’s an analog-warm, live-instrument-driven sound mastered by Alex DeTurk (El Michele Affair, and Lady Wray) that feels both nostalgic and distinctly modern.
From festival stages at SXSW to club dates with Lee Fields, <a href="spotify:artist:1WGb8nCPGJA0RyriSDIQfC" data-name="Say She She">Say She She</a> and Arrested Development, the band has built a reputation for electric, high-vibe live performances. Whether they are leaning into cosmic, psychedelic-soul or tight, funk-forward grooves, Brandi & The Alexanders are carving out a lane all their own.
