NEW MUSIC RELEASES: MIKE CITY – THE FEEL GOOD AGENDA VOLUME 1; SIMON LAW - LOOK TO THE SKY; LIZ AKU - ANKHOR

MIKE CITY – THE FEEL GOOD AGENDA VOLUME 1

Featuring a host of luminaries from the world of Soul & R&B, chart-topping songwriter and award winning producer Mike City presents new album ‘The Feel Good Agenda Vol.1’. Earning his big break back in the year 2000 as writer and producer of a #1 hit in the form of ‘I Wish’ performed by Carl Thomas, Mike went on to work with Brandy, Rihanna, Angie Stone and Jamie Foxx as well as penning Sunshine Anderson’s smash hit ‘Heard It All Before’. Renowned for his deeply rooted, melodic production style and distinctive vocal arrangements, Mike City consistently finds himself in-demand from A-list hip hop, R&B and pop artists, as well as finding favor in dance music circles during recent years. Features performances by Dwele, Carl Thomas, Faith Evans, Teedra Moses, Maysa, Crystal Johnson, Terri Walker, Junior, and Lalah Hathaway.

SIMON LAW - LOOK TO THE SKY

On his debut solo album 'Look To The Sky' Simon reunites with Caron Wheeler - on the up-lifting lead single "Morning Love" - as well as Jazzie B, Chante Moore and Maxi Priest, whose "Sunshine Girl" is the second single. His main writing collaborator, who sings lead vocals on the hooky "Rocket Ship" and a number of other tracks, is Lain Gray, originally a member of UK vocal group Nu Colours. Jamaican singer Nadine Sutherland, a Bob Marley discovery who was the first signing to his Tuff Gong label at the age of 11, turns in an outstanding performance on "Love Comes Back To You". An album that is at turns funky, ethereal, majestic, with a strong rhythmic groove. Here’s the full tracklist: Look To The Sky feat. Jazzie B and Lain Gray; Morning Love feat. Caron Wheeler; Rocket Ship feat. Lain Gray; Sunshine Girl feat. Maxi Priest, Lain Gray and Ruinz Ason; Love Comes Back To You feat. Nadine Sutherland; Higher feat. Chante Moore; Message Of Love feat.

Lain Gray; My Heart Is Ready feat. Joanna Law; She Walks At Dawn; and Heart Of God.


LIZ AKU - ANKHOR

It's the utmost honor for Sonar Kollektiv to be in the position to introduce “Ankhor”, the brand new album by Liz Aku. Having recorded all sorts of music with different outfits as well as solo projects over the last fifteen years the Belgian soul singer and highly gifted songwriter definitely earned her stripes and is anything but a newcomer to this game. She seems to have found her own, distinctive voice, after traveling to New Zealand and a far-reaching encounter with Mara TK from Electric Wire Hustle. Includes: The Drum Major Instinct feat. Mara TK;  Slowly; Deceive The Mind; Seasons Change; Secrets Die; Flight & Fall; Just What I Need; Ashamed; Hiding Alone; Ankhor feat. Zulu Moon; Hunger; and Breathing Underwater feat. Mara TK.
