So, I fell down a music rabbit hole last night and found Telliodora’s ‘Nothing Can Help You’… and wow, it’s a whole mood. She’s got this interesting backstory, Russian roots, international gigs, and even singing backup for The Pink Floyd Show UK, but this track? It feels personal. It blends soul, R&B, modern jazz, and neo-soul, but what really grabbed me is that it’s all live instruments.

Soulful, Authentic, Empowering

-PurpleMistress

You can feel every bass pluck, every brush of the drums. The lyrics hit hard, basically a fearless pushback against toxic energy and the fear that keeps you stuck. Also… the lineup behind her is next level. Produced by MckNasty in a London studio, with players who have worked with Amy Winehouse, Lauryn Hill, Ledisi, Robert Glasper… all that soul and skill is dripping through the song. If you like your R&B and jazz smooth, this one’s gonna stick.
