Tokyo Dawn's first lady Amalia! 'Art Slave

Star InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar Inactive
Amalia - Art Slave Spotlight on for the long awaited debut album by Tokyo Dawn's first lady Amalia! 'Art Slave' is a colorful manifesto for the passion of art, the strength of heart and the need for funk in all stages of life.

This time, Amalia bravely commands her own starship and pays homage to the strong women of soul who catalyzed her ingenuity such as Chaka Khan, Sheila E, Eartha Kitt and Betty Davis. Produced by the Swedish funk extraordinaire Opolopo, 'Art Slave' is sonically and musically influenced by late 80s/early 90s New Jack Swing and Boogie, but definitely sets its own standards. AD Bourke, Atjazz & Son Of Kick deliver the bonus remixes for this release. Check 'Welcome to Me' and 'Luxurious' both are absolute killers!

Star InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar Inactive
Donald Sheffey - Between You And I This week I received a promo CD from Donald Sheffey titled 'Between You And I' on Weezie Productions. The CD consist of twelve tracks with mainly a mix of down, mid and up tempo adult contemporary R&B songs.

This album starts with a great tune 'Good Times', a smooth track with the well-known 808 hi-hat. The first bars of 'Loving You Today' does sound familiar. This track have a very catching keyboard riff in it above a jazzy rhythm. It could be Maze song with the all the strings.
