sunlight by herbie hancockis a 1978 jazz-funk. fusion album. it features hancock’s vocals through a vocoder as well as performances by drummer tony williams and bassist jaco pastorius. this was when hancock began heading towards a more mainstream smooth jazz/r&b fusion. similar to fellow jazz-fusion pianist patrice rushen. the album produced a hit-single entitled “i thought it was you”. as a whole the album tends to lay more toward funk than a jazz record. and is reminiscent of much of the electro-funk of the time. this release marks the beginning of the 80s electro-era style that was more refined in herbie’s later albums such as “future shock” and “sound-system”. pressing on 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

its not always about super rares. we got to cover those lp tracks as well. how this never made it onto a 45 ill never know. michael henderson s brilliant let love enter has always been an underground classic and is about to get a fire lit under it once again. simply the finest brazilian influenced soul jazz fusion. michael s bass playing. vocals and production are all over modern american black music. having played for miles davis. norman connors. marvin gaye. stevie wonder to name just a few. his influence is huge right through the industry as well being a million selling artist himself. you can still here his bass sampled in many a hip-hop track to this day.

a super rare disco / modern banger to end the year. star quake came out ofcolumbus.georgiaand that s about as far as they got. don t you know i love you is a relatively recent spin with o.g copies easily going for over $1000 and with good reason. a disco floater over some brilliant bass. i also edited the b side to remove the fade in so it can now be dropped easily in a club. happy new year.

das debütalbum von kelela ist ein vielschichtiges. oszillierendes porträt. das sich zugleich in die vergangenheit und in die zukunft des r&b erstreckt. was so nach relativ stabilen genregrenzen und zugehörigkeiten klingt. wird in ihren händen grenzenlos: take me apart steht für sich. es ist ein neues element. das nach eigenen regeln funktioniert. sich aber doch einreihen lässt in einen kanon von klangverwandten jüngeren albummeilensteinen. ehrlichkeit und verletzlichkeit waren schon immer die eckpfeiler ihrer musik auch wenn sie sich gelegentlich gepanzert in avantgardistischen electronica-schichtungen präsentiert . und auf take me apart geht sie nun sogar noch deutlich weiter. was den emotionalen tiefgang. wucht und gehalt ihrer message und auch die breite des klanglichen spektrums angeht. nach den lobeshymnen für ihre hallucinogen ep. feature-beiträgen für ihre langjährige verbündete solange. danny brown oder zuletzt den gorillaz. und nach supportauftritten für the xx. legt kelela mit take me apart den grundstein für eine sehr vielversprechende karriere.

all flowers in time is the debut album from space captain. built around the themes of love and nostalgia with a pinch of bitterness and betrayal. with intricate arrangements of fluttering guitars. sparkly keyboards. and cyclical layers of background vocals. all bound together with dreamy indie-pop melodies for a sweet curve-ball of a finish. this beautifully crafted release takes the brooklyn 7 piece to new heights. extensive influences range from thundercat through amy winehouse to bon iver. but space captain are never anything but themselves. as this release shows. it sees the band moving away from the electronic and experimental sounds of their previous ep. instead taking them back to when they first formed. whilst also pushing the boundaries of their familiar r&b realm. for the band. all flowers in time quite literally signifies the flowering of their careers and the work they have put in to get there

what started out as a simple email exchange between a young. hungry beatmaker and a seasoned player in the worlds of jazz and midwestern indie hip-hop. has resulted in a vibrant record nearly a decade in the making. on one side of let it out sits miles bonny. a long time musical collaborator who spent his youth soaking in powerful musical moments in nyc under the tutelage of his trumpet-slinging father. francis bonny. and later as a teen immersed in new york s busy indie-hip-hop scene. as he grew up miles cemented himself a niche in the midwest. most notably in lawrence. kansas where tireless forays into beatmaking led to the founding of the much-loved innatesounds crew and record label. as well as a series of solo releases and collaborative projects.

mit seiner gabe zum songwriting sprengt er die grenzen von r&b. pop und soul. seine texte präsentieren einen faszinierenden blick auf die welt – kaum verwunderlich. dass rationale ein gefragter mann ist. rag’n’bone man (»wolves«. »guilty« und »life in her yet«). katy perry (»act my age«) und nause (»dynamite«) zählten bereits auf sein talent. dazu wurde ihm prominente unterstützung von kollegen zuteil. u. a. von ellie goulding. die seinen track »tethered« regelmäßig covert. und bastille. die rationale einluden. sie auf ihrer europatour zu begleiten.
nun präsentiert rationale seine eigene künstlerische vision mit seinem selbstbetitelten debütalbum. neben einer fülle von neuem material enthält es ausgewählte highlights seiner bisherigen karriere – darunter das 14 millionen mal gestreamte »fast lane«. die überragende live-hymne »deliverance« und das emotionale intensive »prodigal son«.
der großteil des albums wurde von rationale produziert. der kanadische producer stint (u. a. gallant. nao) arbeitete an »tumbling down«.

another 1960s 7inch soul gem. unearthed and held up to the light courtesy of rocafort records. the heroine of this story is atlanta born delia dee dee gartrell. schooled in the art of gospel and jazz. but banned by her mother to sing any r n b that is until delia met the mighty hannibal. a powerhouse bluesy soul producer and future husband who put her up where she belonged and got her singing about stuff that her mother wouldn t have approved of. mid-tempo stomper. i must be doing something right. is an irresistible sassy classic. originally the b side of the single if you got what it takes (they can t take what you got) released on maverick records. the horns and drums tease the toe-tapping rhythm along while delia belts out with raw fire about not being a great looker. cook or housecleaner for her man. but when its time for sleeping. he thinks i m something outtasight. i must be doing something right. cheeky in spirit. chunky in swing. full of all the urgency and feistiness you d expect from a repressed southern soul vocalist. written by delia and hannibal. fight fire with fire boasts a similar production style but this time with a prominent electric guitar riff. emotive strings and heavenly backing vocals. describing the cheating man who s gonna get exactly what he dishes out. delia reads out the riot act with more punchy promise than threat. a must for all 7inch soul collectors. a thing of rare beauty.
