Izipho Soul maestro Patrick Biggerstaff couldn't contain himself and
leaked this forthcoming release some weeks ago, and we can't blame him.
We make no secret about our admiration of
Carmichael Musiclover's music as his last three albums have all topped our Albums of the
Year selections i.e. "Black Elvis
Vol. 1
/
Vol. 2" (2022), "Slow Motion" (2021) and "The Best Thing Yet" (2020).
Patrick has snared a track from each of his last two albums: "Bring It Home" from "Black Elvis Vol. One" and "Know You Better" from "Slow Motion" to pair on a 7" vinyl release due on 28 Jul. It's only the second time on vinyl for Carmichael Musiclover as Colin Curtis released "Style" / "Pure Sweetness" on Freestylin' in 2020.
The timing of his last, two volume, album "Black Elvis" on 8 Dec '22 was
unfortunate as momentum was lost over the festive period and, whilst it did
reasonably well, we felt that it should have fared much better as by the new
year, after the festivities, it seemed to have been forgotten and dropped
from playlists. 'A Message to (Car)Michael', don't release your next album
in December!
Born in Alabama as Antoine Carmichael, he moved to Atlanta to pursue his
dream and released his first album 'All About Love' on his own One Mic label
in 2008. Counting his last album as a double album rather than two
separate albums, since 2008 he's self-released 12 albums and all are
consistently good. They are not just 7 or 8 trackers, they generally have
between 14-17 tracks on each.
Izipho Soul wish to thank Mick O’Donnell for curating the early stages of
the project, Roger Williams who got his digital crayons out not once, but
twice to create the splendid contrasting label design and Mark Allbones for
pulling it all together.
Available now to pre-order from Izipho Soul for release on 28 July or you can pre-order from your favourite vinyl dealer.
