Soultru is the stage name of Terrance Banks, a soul/R&B artist from Davenport, Iowa. He credits a wide range of influences, including Gavin Degraw, John Legend, Yelawolf and Son Little. About his most recent release ‘Must Be’, Soultru explains:

‘”Must Be” is a song about those relationships that aren’t so perfect even though you know that your with the perfect one. Neither of you are perfect and that makes you perfect for each other. Through the rough times and questioning if its right or worth it, you always come up with the same conclusion that yes, it is.‘

Jaunty keys begin the track. Soultru’s husky vocal blends against his backing vocals as a steady beat kicks in. His voice adds an honesty and vulnerability to temper the bright, poppy melody. An artist to keep an eye on.
