Neo Gospel Perfection

Philip White comes sliding in real neo-soul smooth… like he just walked into the sanctuary wearing grown-man confidence and a fresh suit that don’t wrinkle 😄

And honestly, I don’t even know what to call this sound anymore—because it’s not just neo-soul…

It’s Smoove Neo Gospel.Yeah. That’s what we calling it.

Because Phil didn’t just sing on this record…

Phil LAID this joint DOWN. 🙌🏾🔥

“Laid It Down” has that laid-back pocket where the groove feels like it’s floating, but the message hits heavy. It’s the kind of song that makes you close your eyes like you’re worshipping… while your head is nodding like you’re in somebody’s living room jam session with the best musicians in town.

The vocals are clean, controlled, and confident—no over-singing, no unnecessary gymnastics. Just pure feel. That’s rare these days. Phil understands something a lot of artists forget:

Smooth doesn’t mean soft — smooth means seasoned.

Now here’s the part that’ll surprise you: This record was actually made back in 2013… and that’s the proof right there of how timeless this song is. Because we just received it, and to us it’s brand new—no “old” feeling, no dated production, no dusty vibes. It sounds like it could drop today and still slide right into the playlist with no explanation needed.

Bottom line:If you like neo-soul, you’ll love it.If you love gospel, you’ll respect it.And if you’re going through something, this one will remind you:

Sometimes the strongest praise isn’t shouted…it’s laid down.
