This past summer Philadelphia
based singer-songwriter Mutlu has charmed audiences up and down the East Coast
with his infectious soul-styled music and honeyed tenor vocals in support of
his recent Good Trouble album release. Mutlu is now gearing up for the album’s
second single, “Nothing in This Whole Wide World” featuring John Oates from the
legendary duo Hall & Oates. The single will be available for radio
streaming on September 20, 2019.
“Nothing in This Whole Wide World” is Oates and Mutlu’s
homage to R&B singles of the past, and pays tribute to the city of
Brotherly Love, Philadelphia with its classic soul sound. Mutlu sings deeply
from the heart as he embraces love and connection, and with John’s retro
backing vocals, and the track’s funky guitar groove, the new single delivers an
authentically vintage feeling throughout. “We wanted to channel that 70’s
Philly Soul sound for the listener when we wrote this” recalls Mutlu of the
songwriting process with Oates.
Hall & Oates’ guitarist, Shane Theriot, co-produced the
new single with Oates. The recording also features keyboardist Henry Hey, along
with Hall & Oates band members Brian Dunne (drums) and Klyde Jones (bass).
Mutlu will reunite with Hall & Oates in North Little
Rock, Arkansas as the opening act for the renowned band on September 26th at
The Verizon Arena, and will then carry his ‘Good Trouble’ tour overseas to the
famous Amsterdam music venue, Paradiso. He will also be performing at The
Concert Across America to End Gun Violence at Trinity UMC in Ewing, NJ on
October 5th, with a lineup of artists that includes rock legends Living Colour,
and he will be performing at The Ardmore Music Hall in Ardmore, PA on December
15th with acclaimed rock/soul/blues artist Anders Osborne.
His latest album Good Trouble has received tremendous media
praise for crossing the boundaries of R&B, soul, reggae, folk, and rock,
while creating something completely organic. Relix Magazine is currently
featuring Mutlu in their September issue along with their monthly Spotify
playlist. Mutlu has also received coverage and praise for his “Good Trouble” EP
release in Vents Magazine, Music Existence, Digital Journal, Philadelphia
Inquirer, Ditty TV, and others.
