Marcella Simien is the daughter of two-time GRAMMYTM award winner Terrance Simien. Simien founded Marcella & Her Lovers in 2013. Their music is a hybrid of Memphis soul and New Orleans funk. Got You Found by Marcella & Her Lovers was her first full length album. The album was recorded at American Recording Studio in Memphis and co-produced a by Pete Matthews and Toby Vest of High/Low Recording. The album was digitally released on January 29, 2020. Now, almost 3 years later, Black & Wyatt Records is excited to release the album on vinyl. “Marcella simien has been a fixture of the memphis scene for over six years now, often with her band, marcella & her lovers, and over that time she’s acquired a reputation as a genre-buster. If her brand of “swamp soul” is inherently multicultural, reflecting both her zydeco-playing father, terrance simien, and the rich roux of her native louisiana’s other musical flavors, she personally has many sonic touchstones beyond those. “I have broad taste in music and always have,” she says. “You can find soulfulness in any genre. That’s what i’m drawn to. From kraftwerk to brian eno to nina simone, from sampling to jazz to folk.” - Memphis Flyer
