R&B/Soul Craftsman, MyCompiledThoughts Evolves Into “Soul Brother”

On New EP out March 15

“Meditative musicality, framed by personal stories and a sound that moves through genres... [a] promising talent” - Earmilk


As a singer, songwriter and producer, MyCompiledThoughts describes his sound more like a cinematographer, “It’s R&B but the colors are usually way more pop as well as the instrumentation and arrangements. Yet at the root it is my variation of R&B.” Musically he falls on the map where Frank Ocean and Childish Gambino are neighbors, an unpredictable and sonically rich landscape.

On MyCompiledThoughts’ new EP ‘Soul Brother’ (out March 15th), we see a different side of this “modern-day philosopher” (Notion.online). The emotional vulnerability of Thoughts’ past songs have begun to fade as we find him traveling back in time to a realm where it feels like it’s forever the 1970s. Sonically there is a retro ambiance paired with modern R&B while the synthetic steel drums throughout are a nod to the vibrant cultural tapestry of his Haitian heritage.

Lyrically, ‘Soul Brother’ is a hedonistic odyssey. It begins with “Bite Me”, “A love story about wanting to feel a love so beautiful it can hurt,” he explains. On “Bad Mother Lover”, Thoughts “becomes a Caribbean soul brother immaculate in stature.” The journey comes to a climax with the single “Pimping” followed by blissful and pure love. ‘Soul Brother’ concludes with “Morning,” a reflection of the aftermath of an eros.



“Soul Brother” Track List:

Bite Me

Bad Mother Lover [Explicit]

“Soul Brother” marks the beginning of a series of EPs MyCompiledThoughts will release throughout 2024. Each musical chapter will reflect the seasons from “Lovers Aura” in Spring to a Summertime celebration of Haiti and through to the eye-opening horror themed “Kouri” coming in the Fall. The prolific songwriter has also put all his previous singles onto an LP he’s calling, “Chapter One Soul Brother Prelude.”



MyCompiledThoughts Bio:

MyCompiledThoughts was born Carlheb Cemesca in Boston, MA. Growing up he would work out his often-abundant amount of thoughts journaling and eventually adopted his Tumblr page name as his stage name.

“As a kid, I wasn't exposed to secular music but I was in the church choir and my school choir. In Haitian culture, school and church are very important,” he explains. This worked out to Thoughts’ advantage leading his imagination to wander and nurturing his songwriting. “I love the idea of turning a moment into a song. I seek to really tell a story and capture a vibe,” he reveals. In 2011, he began to teach himself to produce using a trial version of FL Studio while also learning to play bass and piano.

Now a Los Angeles resident, MyCompiledThoughts stays busy not only producing for himself but other artist including Teamarr, Love Moor and members of the Van Buren Collective.
