NEW RELEASES: KARYN WHITE DELUXE EDITION; SOUL LOUNGE 13; JACOB COLLIER - IN MY ROOM

KARYN WHITE - KARYN WHITE DELUXE EDITION

Big Break Records proudly presents the first ever deluxe remaster of Karyn White, which includes a staggering 19 bonus tracks, rare promotional remixes and exclusive interviews with Karyn White, Daryl Simmons and Jeff Lorber, and presented in a super jewel case complete with a 20-page booklet and detailed liner notes. Karyn White became one of the most successful international artists in R&B with this, her debut album, in 1988. The album enjoyed platinum sales and spun off five hit singles including “Siperwoman,” arguably the most popular and enduring soul ballad of the era. This 2CD deluxe edition marks the 30th anniversary of White’s first hit and features bonus songs and remixes. Karyn White began her career as a session singer for R&B artist O’Bryan, while they were supporting Cameo. After using former Tower Of Power vocalist Michael Jeffries’ studio, both White and Jeffries were signed as the lead vocalists for Jazz Fusion artist Jeff Lorber’s Warner Bros. debut album in 1986. The majority of the album was produced by LA & Babyface at the height of both their creative and commercial powers, including the New Jack Swing styled first single “The Way You Lover Me.”
