Miles Griffith’s vocalese roars alongside organist Radam Schwartz’s deep grooves while the assemblage of virtuosic talent in the musical tour de force ‘Conspiracy for Positivity’ leaves no musical note or nuance unexplored. Songs for the Soul are really songs from the soul as Radam, Miles, and crew, unearth their deepest emotions and lay bare their passion. The soulful wails of Griffith’s vocal acrobatics and Radam’s inspirational backbone are accompanied by a unique set of compositions and poignant lyrics that take on strength and vitality which grab the listener and command attention. 

In this world where so much seems to be so wrong, from war, to economics to natural disasters, absorbing the energy of Griffith along with Radam and his ensemble is a positive way of dealing with whatever is bothering you.
