APRIL HILL LOVE 360
A new star is born. Atlanta's April has one of those distinctive classic soul voice's that remind you of greats like Randy Crawford, Candi Staton and Esther Phillips in places, but with the contemporary sassyness of Jill or Erykah. This is a killer album produced by Marlon Saunders with great songs, lyrics and real instruments. 'The Search' is a great soulful dancer with a great B line and the horn backed' No More Tears' could become a weekender anthem. 'Feeling You' , 'I Can't Stop Loving You' and 'Happier With Her' are classic soul ballads. 'I Wanna Be Free' , 'You Got Me' and 'Manipulation' are contemporary hard hitting hypnotic mid tempo grooves that really grow on you. This album will appeal to all generations of soul fans and is a strong contender for album of the year.
SIR JOE QUARTERMAN AND FREE SOUL
Re-mastered and extended version of this great Classic Funk album from 1973. ‘I’ve Got So Much Trouble In My Mind’ is of course a well known classic, but of an equal standard from the original album are ‘Trouble With Trouble’, ‘The Way They Do My Life’, ‘Find Yourself’ and ‘I Made A Promise’. Added here are the non album singles ‘Thanks Dad’ , ‘This Girl Of mine’ , ‘Get Down Baby’ , ‘Im A Young Man’ and the brilliant and often sampled ‘Im Gonna Get You’, plus 3 tracks that were unreleased at the time the best of which is ‘How High’. A Great album which now sounds incredibly fresh and punchy.
SHIRLEY BROWN – SHIRLEY BROWN
Fantastic soul album from 1977 , originally released on Arista , and probably her best. Includes ‘Blessed Is The Woman’, ‘Givin Up’, ‘Midnight Rendezvous’, ‘A Mighty Good Feeling’ ,‘When You Really Love Somebody’ , ‘I Need Somebody to love Me (ft DJ Rodgers) but is consistent throughout. First time on CD anywhere in the world. If you’re into 70’s soul you will want this.
LEROY BURGESS - THROWBACK: HARLEM 79-83
12 unreleased tracks from the legendary singer/songwriter/producer recorded in late 70’s/early 80’s. Some are the original demo’s of tracks he wrote for others like ‘Its So Easy (You Can Do It –dino terell) ’, ‘Moment Of My Life’ (inner life), and ‘Fly Girl’ (intrique) and ‘Youre My Number One’ (change) which all stand up well against the released versions because Leroy’s voice is so good. Of the 7 new songs the best are the classic Burgess boogie tracks like ‘Scandal’, ‘Midnight In The Streets’ , ‘Keepin On’, ‘Under Da Radar’ and ‘Hold up’ whilst ‘All Into You’ is am id tempo groover. The live cover of the Isleys ‘Hello Its Me’ is also interesting. This brilliant project is unmissable if you are into Burgess, Boogie or early 80’s uptempo soul.
