Devon Gilfillian – The Good Life [Listen]

Tags

2020, America, artist, Black Hole Rainbow, Devon Gilfillian, Music, Music Video, Musician, R&B, singer, Soul, The Good Life, USA

A song that I can’t get out of my head based on its old school R&B and soul music vibe.
Devon Gilfillian‘s song The Good Life just oozes that retro R&B/Soul sound.
Taken from the album Black Hole Rainbow which came out on January 10, 2020.
Think of the 2020 version of Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye and maybe Leon Bridges mixed into one.
