Music isn’t just heard; it’s felt. Like the heavy pull of burgundy curtains or the slow curl of incense in a dark room, Porctia Symone creates an atmosphere that lingers long after the final note fades.

With her debut album, Velvet Smoke, Porctia invites listeners into a 9-track journey through the shadows of southern soul and the highlights of jazz. It is an exploration of intimacy, wrapped in a palette of black, gold, and deep wine.

Porctia doesn’t just sing; she curates a mood. Her sound is a masterclass in contrast-smooth yet striking, classic yet cutting-edge. Whether you are lost in the haze of the lead single or finding yourself in the rhythmic depth of the closing track, you aren’t just listening to an album.

You are stepping into the smoke.
