While poetic verses and sensual soundscapes make up South African singer-songwriter Filah Lah Lah’s new-age soul sound, her inspirations span the entire gamut of expressive R&B, soul and jazz. Featuring tracks from Letta Mbulu, Minnie Riperton, Isaiah Rashad, The Stylistics, Solange, Marcus Harvey, Brent Faiyaz, and more, her Soul September playlist reflects her student-of-history approach to her own artistry. “I chose these songs because they combine my past, my present and future,” Filah tells Apple Music. “In so doing they showed me some of my deepest sources of inspiration, while also showing how far I’ve come and how far I still need to go.”
