A superb modern / neo soul tune from 2005 by Swedish group Prominent from
their 3rd album '42 Grams'. Boy ... is this soulful!
I'll take this opportunity to present a few other tracks from the album, with
a 'health warning' that a couple of the tracks contain some 'rapping', but to
me there's rapping and then there's rapping ... if you know what I mean! i.e.
rhythmical rap v ranting rap which is just an unwanted 'noise' to me!
This was their last album. I don't know what happened to them as on the
strength of this album, with at least 4 or 5 good tracks featured here, I
would have thought it was good enough for further releases. I can find no
further releases from them or any of the members of the group, although the
lead singer Petricks Castelo did work on a 2008 Swedish movie:
Leslie - A Star Waiting To Shine.
It would appear that they broke up, or had a sabbatical, for a few years and
then made a comeback with a new single
'The Lights'
in 2013, which I'm afraid is not to my taste as it's typical R&B/Hip-hop
fodder.
Lucky Day
From the same album this one samples snippets of Shalamar's 'A Night To Remember'.
