This week’s pick comes from an absolute legend in the game — Kathy Kosins.

An internationally renowned songstress with a career that spans genres and decades, Kathy has worked with icons like Was (Not Was), Slingshot, and Michael Henderson. Whether she’s fronting Detroit Centrix alongside bassist Paul Randolph or carving her path as a celebrated jazz vocalist, Kosins always delivers something extraordinary.

Her latest single, “Aurora’s Light,” is a masterclass in nu-jazz elegance. This track finds Kosins leaning deep into her jazz roots while infusing her signature soulful touch. The result? A mesmerizing soundscape that radiates warmth and sophistication. Let’s dive in and soak up the brilliance.

If smooth, boundary-pushing nu-jazz like this hits your sweet spot, be sure to tune in to The Progressive Underground every Saturday at 6 p.m. on 101.9 WDET. We’re your destination for the best in future soul, nu-jazz, b-sides, and rare grooves.

For The Progressive Underground, I’m Chris Campbell. See you next time, where the beats always stay fresh, and the vibes never stop.
