KING COLE, Nat - Re: Generations (Capitol US) Comentários: During the past several months, Nat King Cole has virtually been in the studio and on the mic with some of today's hip-hop, Latin, reggae and rock artists and producers. On March 10, 2009 a new recording entitled RE:GENERATIONS arrives with modern reinterpretations of Cole's work. RE:GENERATIONS aims to construct a tuneful bridge between generations, cultures and races. Executive Produced by Michaelangelo L'Acqua and Co-Executive Produced by Carole Cole, the album contains the talents of Cee-Lo, The Roots, will.i.am with Natalie Cole, Cut Chemist, Just Blaze, Nas with Salaam Remi, Souldiggaz with Izza Kizza, Michaelangelo L'Acqua with Bebel Gilberto, Stephen Marley and Damian Marley, Bitter:Sweet, Brazilian Girls, Amp Fiddler and TV On The Radio. RE:GENERATIONS is a 21st Century journey in the lexicon of Nat King Cole's catalog. Several respected Los Angeles visual artists have drawn inspiration from Cole's music, style and cultural influence to create custom artwork for the release. To launch RE:GENERATIONS, Capitol/EMI has commissioned an original Cole-inspired mural by the gifted international muralist/graffiti artist, Man One for Capitol's historic Hollywood lot. Assisted by two students from The HeArt Project, a local mentoring program, Man One completed the impressive mural, which powerfully depicts Nat King Cole as a ubiquitous force who transcends the ages. The track “Lush Life," Produced By Cee-Lo, is available for a free audio stream. Listen to it in quicktime HERE, or in windows media player HERE. in allaboutjazz

In addition to all these cooperations, Florence has locally released a series of albums under her own name and without a doubt, she can be called the queen of Frafra-Gospel. "Mam Pe'ela Su'ure" is a typical Frafra-Gospel Hymn, sung during Sunday services accompanied only with shakers and hand clapping. Our version here is backed up by Kumasi's finest High Life players, who transform the song into a massive wave of groove. "Naba Aferda" is a homage to the Chief of Zuarungu, Florence's home village, which was also the home village of
