PAUL HARDCASTLE - MOVIN' & GROOVIN'
Cutting
his musical teeth beginning in the 70's when disco, bell bottoms and Soul Train
were king, super producer of sexy and syncopated sides Paul Hardcastle comes
out of the woodshed with back to back new projects, the latest in the
Jazzmasters series VII and this a dance down memory lane with a 21st century
twist. Moovin
And Groovin is a collection of disco infused pieces that recall an era where
music was all about getting your 'move on' with Barry White, Donna Summer and
Saturday
Night Fever casting their respective spells on the masses. You'll feel
instantly transported back in time with this highly infectious romp that brings
to bear all of the feeling moods and vibes that made the 70's and 80's what
they were, yet all spun with musical yarns of today.Disco has
made a bit of a resurgence since 2013 with disco styled songs released by Daft
Punk, Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars, and now from a name that has been
synonymous with disco infused beats.This is
Hardcastle at his absolute best, highly syncopated infectious grooves done in
his own inimitable style, one that has earned him a place in musical royalty.
For you lovers of his multi genre classic 'Rainforest', M and G is an extension
of that classic sound and will be sure to energize his already rabid base and
cause a seismic shift in this new century with this nod to the past but his eye
solidly on the future. As the title suggests, this set will get you doing just
that. Come and get your groove on. ~ Amazon.com
ALMA – FOR A POET
Chicago-based Pop and Soul vocalist Alma has released her new single “For A Poet.” Through witty lyrics, tight vocal harmonies and a laidback groove, Alma weaves a story about the tension faced by someone who realizes that the one they love might not be a great fit for them. The song is stylistically accessible and will appeal to fans of adult contemporary and neosoul genres, particularly listeners who favor Corinne Bailey Rae, Joss Stone and Jill Scott. Alma is currently planning a full length album entitled Tactics, which will lean more heavily into her neosoul sensibilities. ~ www.hearalma.com
