The new album "From Lust Till Dawn", from which two teaser singles ("If I Don't" and "Wait On Me / Pt2/Remix") have been pre-released in the last
two weeks consecutively, is out today.
One of the standouts for me, possibly owing to familiarity, is "Memory Lane" featuring Grenique. It is a cover of a Minnie Riperton song (written
with her husband Richard Rudolph and Keni St. Lewis, curiously this
album credits Gene Dozier rather than Rudolph?). It featured on her album "Minnie" and was also released
as a single in April 1979 on Capitol only a few months before her untimely death
in July 1979 aged just 31 from breast cancer.
Other recommended tracks are last week's single "If I Don't", "Waiting For Your Love" feat. Brendalynn McKinney and the ballad "Anytime".
There is a very strange cover of Billy Preston & Syreeta's 1979 hit
ballad "With You I'm Born Again" with the vocals sung thorough a vocoder, quite what this has to do with
soul music is lost on me?
I'm afraid to say that the rest of the album doesn't really 'float my
boat', on first listen at least. That's not to say they're not good and if
you like your urban/R&B some may appeal to you.
Spotify has again failed to show the guest artists, so if you want to view the full track list click on album cover image.
