The Floacist Remakes ‘Say Yes’ + Breaks Silence on Marsha Ambrosius Leaving Floetry

To celebrate the ten year anniversary of Floetry’s debut “Floetic” album, the Floacist released her more soulful rendition of “Say Yes.” The song will appear on the Grammy-nominated neo-soul artist’s forthcoming album “The Floacist Presents: Floetry Rebirth,” coming November 13, 2012.

“Floetry Rebirth” is The Floacist’s gift to her fans who have missed the vibration of Floetry. “I create with intention, not expectation, so there isn’t a set outcome that is anticipated. Ultimately, this album is the confirmation that Floetry has been reborn,” said The Floacist. “It is produced with real instruments and real musicians ultimately creating a true musical experience.”

Check out the video below.

The Floacist also had a few words to say about Marsha Ambrosius leaving Floetry:

This is the first Floetry album, after a six year split, and Marsha has been doing a lot of excessive talking during that time, all of which has gone unanswered by myself. My silence could have been confusing to the fans, so I wanted to address the split, at the right time, in the correct medium. It was important for me to comment truthfully on the main issue…Marsha left Floetry, after so much joint success and foundation building, to join Aftermath Records, with no assurance of an album release. Ultimately, holding Floetry to ransom, to pursue a possibility of ‘mainstream’ success and all that was gained, was whatever they would’ve put into her pocket, and a mixtape release entitled ‘Neo Soul is Dead’. This to me is the perfect example of someone selling out, or selling their soul.
