JOSS STONE – WATER FOR YOUR SOUL
Water For Your Soul is
about finding your own fulfilment, doing what you really want to do, explains
Joss Stone. For me, its music. But water for your soul can be anything. Some
people like food, some people like to dance, some like to travel. Music is
necessary for me - it feeds my soul, the same way water feeds a flower. It's
also about being brave and letting go. Prepare to be amazed and delighted by
Joss Stone. The free spirited English soul singer has been on an incredible
journey, metaphorical and literal, artistic and geographic, absorbing
influences and making music. Water For Your Soul is the fruits of her travels
in sound, demonstrating how the teen soul prodigy has blossomed into an artist
of style and substance. It is an album that pulses with the liquid groove of
reggae, dazzles with the mix and match sonic adventure of hip hop, shimmers
with the exotic sounds of world music and delivers the emotional belt of RnB.
It's really a combination of all the things I like, explains Joss. I'll always
have that bluesy, soul thing because it is in my voice. But these are new songs
for me to sing, which is exciting. ~ Amazon

HIATUS KAIYOTE – CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON
A stunning second set
from Hiatus Kaiyote – a group we already loved the first time around, but who
really blow us away with this amazing little record! The style is this
incredible mix of cosmic keyboards and soulful vocals – but not in a way that's
like any of the other oft-tread paths in that combination on the market at all.
Instead, the group almost put the keyboards first – working from some Herbie
Hancock electric 70s mode, but very much with their own style – then find a key
place for the sublime singing of Nai Palm – a vocalist who's got this style
that's heavenly, and almost with her own sort of electricity as well.
Individual tunes are great, but the whole thing really works together as one
long sonic trip – a mindbending journey through tracks that include
"Prince Minikid", "Shaolin Monk Motherfunk",
"Laputa", "Borderline With My Atoms", "Swamp
Thing", "Fingerprints", and "The Lung". ~ Dusty Groove
