The sophomore album from Boston's Kim Tavar, aptly titled "The Next Stage", is out today (26 May '23). We posted samples earlier in the week
but now you are able to hear the full tracks.
Since releasing her debut album "My Story" (initially on Bandcamp only in Feb '21), consisting of 13 self written songs, Kim has shortened her name from Tavares to Tavar.
She has subsequently released five singles which includes a Christmas
single in 2022. The latest single "Beautiful" (24 Feb '23) is the only one included on the new ten track set, so we
get nine new songs to enjoy.
Once again on the new album, all songs are self-penned except for one
sensitive re-make of Karin Jones' album only track (from "Under The
Influence Of Love" (1982)) "Last Night In My Dreams" (retitled "Last Night"). The songs have a nostalgic vibe with heartfelt R&B ballads,
funky 80’s/90’s style mid-temp & up-tempo dance tracks.
Manny Rahelu (The Realm), who seems omnipresent at the moment, produced
the opening track "You Don't Know" with Swiss based producer DJ Soulchild twiddling the knobs on "Ain't No One" which was inspired by Jam & Harris' 80s sound (think S.O.S Band,
Atlantic Starr, Cherrelle). Oher producers are available, and were
involved on various other tracks but you don't necessarily want to read
about that as you'd rather listen to the music so without further ado
here they are below.
