The highly anticipated album "THE SCiENCE OF COMPLETiON VOLUME I" from Kim Tibbs is due for release in mid September, but in the meantime we are
in for a taster with a double-side single release which has been titled "THE VOLUME BEGiNS..." and is available now on Bandcamp.
The album is being released in association with Black Orchid Records,
Soulfood Music, DSG Radio Promotions, Izipho Soul Records and
AWAL/Sony. It was recorded at the legendary Royal Studios in Memphis,
TN, and co-produced by Lawrence Boo Mitchell, son of the late great
Willie Mitchell.
The project involved twenty five musicians all playing their part to
create the most authentic 70s soul you will ever hear in 21st century
music. The attention to detail went as far as retrieving Al Green’s
microphone from the original Hi sessions to enhance that vintage
sound!
I am told that the album will be available on 2 x 12" vinyl and CD with
the full length versions. A digital version 'may' be released later
which will be edits of the full versions. So if you want the full
unexpurgated versions then you will need to purchase them on vinyl or
CD.
The single, which follows the very successful "Where Would I Be Without You" which sold out on vinyl on day of release, was re-pressed and sold
out again, will be "Summertime" (an original song not the Porgy & Bess standard written by
George Gershwin) coupled with "Walk To The Light". The full length versions of these are 10:20 and 7:44
respectively.
"Summertime" is a dreamy ballad that evokes memories of summer’s gone by. The horn
and string arrangement on this opus perfectly add to the theme as Kim
gently unfolds her story; the scatting in the second half interspersed
with the backing vocals are truly sensational!
"Walk To The Light" is a song about achieving personal
empowerment. The string, bass and wah wah guitar intro let’s you know
you are in for a musical treat. Kim’s voice builds and builds until
she breaks out into a powerful crescendo along with her own Hammond
organ playing - this is pure church!
Included below is a 30 minute interview Kim did with Solar Radio's
Gary Spence on his Solar Radio show yesterday (18 Aug 2022).
