This is my favorite song from Balance and the Traveling Sounds' "Departure EP". The strong theme of love and relationship songwriting over soulful melodies on "Cold Outside" is describing of the overall soothing tone which "Departure EP" carries. This project has a unique balance of musical influences for a futuristic approach to Soul, as the musicians utilize a mix of Jazz and Soul with touches of Hip Hop which combine to compliment each other for a memorable listen.

Listen to the rest of "Departure EP" here at bandcamp which includes a great Dilla tribute.
