Nigel Hall Feat. Patrice Rushen [2021] - Baby I Do Love You (Spiritual LP) [Regime Music Group]

Back in March I posted the first pre-released track "Wake Me" from Nigel Hall's forthcoming album "Spiritual", which at the time was scheduled for release on 14 May, but has now been put back until 16 Jul. 

"Wake Me" has featured in "The Dirty Dozen" in March (wk8) and also the Top 100 tracks for 2021 Q1, which reminds me that I'll have to start compiling the Top 100 for Q2 in the next few days!

Since March another track was pre-released in April "Gotta Go To Work" (embedded below) and on 18 Jun 2021 "Baby I Do Love You" has been released featuring Patrice Rushen on keyboards.  Unfortunately it is not yet available on Spotify or YT but it must be an old song as there are several live clips of him performing it on YT (some go back as far as 10 years ago) so until it's posted on Spotify I'll embed one of those to give you a feel for the song.

The song sounds familiar and sounds a bit like it could be a Herbie Hancock song(?) His vocals on this track are similar to Stevie Wonder.

From the three tracks already released, the album looks very promising and I'm looking forward to listening to the full album. He's a super-talented artist and one to watch.

Hall is originally from Washington D.C. but relocated to New Orleans in 2013 and is a member of funk band Lettuce. "Spiritual" will be his third solo album since his first in 2006.

There are loads of live performances from him on YT to check out. I've included two recent videos of the other two tracks from the album recorded live at The Blue Dream Studios in L.A., the same studio used by Raquel Rodriguez.
