NYC mainstay Ian Friday shows us once again how he easily transcends the ‘house’ genre by using his latin and jazz influences to transform his productions and arrangements into lush songs.

The A-side brings us a cover of Detroit’s Gospel group The Winans and the flip side a reworking of the Level 42 classic. Much like previous successful collaborations with vocalist Byron J. Moore the songs sound like they were written especially for him, oozing musicianship and groove. These timeless vocal house gems were previously playlisted by Ron Trent and are now finally available on vinyl courtesy of MTMU’s reissue imprint ‘Music Take Me Back’.[info sheet from distr.]
