After an eight year hiatus from recording, since releasing "Bleuphoria" in 2011, Rahsaan Patterson released "Heroes & Gods" in May 2019. On Friday (5 Nov 2021) "Heroes & Gods 2.0" is released which is the album 'reimagined' by house producer
Quentin Harris.
Essentially all the tracks have been 'housed up' which will make purists
cringe but may give the album new dancefloor appeal. The jury's out on
this one so I'll let you make up your own mind as to whether it adds or
detracts from the original from the sneak preview below. I've also included
the full original album.
