MUHSINAH - Always (Smile) ( All City Ireland ) Comentários: All City deliver a steaming hot plate displaying the vocal excellence of Muhsinah atop beats from 00Genesis and the mighty Flying Lotus. If you do the whole beats thing you're no doubt familiar with the warm soul breeze of her vocal cords. They've graced tunes for everyone from Mike Slott to Common and many more still. With 'Always (Smile)' she sends out a message of positivity set to reconfigured bossa grooves in stumbling nu-skool style before really killing it on 'Lose My Fuse'. Fly lo beautifully highlights her vocals with a bluesy astrosoul beat which eventually dissipates only to come back in with a naked rimshot rhythm and heavenly harmonised vocals. It's worth it for this moment alone. Lovely stuff - limited copies. in boomkat [ Para Ouvir/Samples ]

KINDRED SPIRITS ENSEMBLE - Love Is Supreme (Kindred Spirits) Comentários: The Kindred Spirits Ensemble join forces again for a beautiful set of spiritual jazz standards. The weighty ensemble comprises of some 20 odd arrangers, instrumentalists and even a choir, enabling them to embellish lush versions of classics from Pharoah Sanders 'The Creator Has A Masterplan' and John Coltrane 'Naima'. If you felt the recent records from Carlos Niño or have a soft spot for Sun-ra, this is your bag. in boomkat [ Para Ouvir/Samples ] Kindred Spirits Ensemble - Strings of Life from Kindred Spirits on Vimeo .
