Soul & Funk
Soul & Funk music CDs from new unsigned indie bands, groups and artists.
Burnshee Thornside - Rock This Moon
The Funky Duo is back with more classic Pop/Rock/Jazz. Now releasing their third album "Rock This Moon", a title taken from one of the tracks. As always, Burnshee Thornside presents a joyful mix of pop, rock, jazz-soul, funky jazz and some nice ballads, along with crazy, funny, thoughtful and satirical out-of-the-ordinary lyrics. Some call it retro, some call it schizophrenic, some call it "Steely Dan meets Frank Zappa meets Level 42, meets Michael Franks, meets Motown... in a Swedish...
Curfew - Somewhere In The City
The first Curfew CD release with the added bonus of Dave O'Higgins and Mark Hewins on sax and guitar - brilliant contributions from both of them. A great mix of original instrumentals, songs and covers. Great energy and dynamism across the whole band and a stunning cover version of Jaco Pastorius' "Come On Come Over " medley'd with Weather Report's "Barbary Coast".
Stanley Sings Jazz - Stanley Sings Jazz / Stanley's Salute To Al Jolson (2 CD Set)
2 CD SET. CD 1: STANLEY SINGS JAZZ/STANLEY SINGS JOLSON. CD 2: STANLEYS SALUTE TO AL JOLSON.
An exotic blend of western pop melodies with ancient & modern eastern sounds. Lyrically, the band challenges the listener with thought provoking commentary on many crucial issues confronting the world.
Burnshee Thornside - The Art Of Not Blending In
Funky jazz in the style of Steely Dan, Michael Franks and old Prince, played by real musicians wanting to get that human sound and feel. Some call it retro, we call it classic. Lyrics with wit and humour. Also a bit of blues. You'll never have a boring second with Burnshee Thornside.
Michael Moon - The Greatest Job In The World
content takes in most musical genres e.g. soul, country, pop, cajun/celtic, localised (in my case, liverpool) humour (check out tracks 11 and 13) and a lot of the lyrical content is drawn from my life-and-times in liverpool, and on-the-road experiences..................
Curfew - The Return Of The Jazz Fusioneers
The Return of the Jazz Fusioneers captures the 'live' feel of the band after a long (but very enjoyable) UK tour. As a result there's lots of first takes in there and very few overdubs. This means both extraordinary energy levels on some of the uptempo sections and great dynamics on the quieter numbers. Think Weather Report mixed with Tribal Tech!
Blastin Sounds - Throw Down Your Weapon
Hello Fans, I've just released 6 new songs, the songs range from "Throw Down Your Weapon", which deals with social injustices, human rights violations, etc.. to the senuous "Are You The Angel Of Love", where you can feel your lover embrace, and their LOVE flowing thru you. "Lean On Me", by Bill Withers, is a Classic Master piece, as humans, we are supposed to HELP our brothers and sisters, when they are in NEED, and everyone knows, that when all else fails, GOD IS THERE. I'm Still In...
Alternative R&B meets Neo-Soul. A mix of classic R&B sounds, a hint of jazz influences with interesting beats and harmonic vocals.
Visually and audibly well packaged, this is personable, down-to-earth and friendly. ZE(pronounced Zee) is undoubtedly a chanter to be cherished in the UK soul-gospel scene as this new keepsake debut collection conclusively reveals. Highly recommended, the backdrop tracks are sophisticated and atmospheric soul. Her songs are self-penned aflame with quiet enthusiasm for life, love and the Good News. She almost brashly has the bearing and standing of a well established artist. Yet this is...
