Funk Therapy is a new group founded by ex Motown writer
and producer Michael B. Sutton which includes his French wife Aneessa (previously known as Anya
Rose and Lady Aneessa but her real name is Anissa Boudjaoui). She
debuted in 2018 with a cover of Soul II Soul’s 'Back to Life' and last
featured here with a single "It's Gonna Be Alright" in May '21. Other members include legendary drummer
James Gadson (now 84 of Charles Wright's Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band) and former Supreme Scherrie Payne.
The first single was a throwback sound, "Old School Party" (23 Feb), which they now follow with "Cold World (Where Has The Love Gone)" written by Sutton and his wife. The artwork for which conjures up
images of Curtis Mayfield in the 70s and the sound itself is reminiscent of Mayfield and Marvin Gaye.
They describe the new song as 'a soulful resurrection of that iconic
era. A sonic journey through the depths of human emotion that
resonates with the timeless music and Motown legacy, evoking the
spirit of classic soul with its rich instrumentation and soul-stirring
vocals that pays homage to their predecessors while creating a modern
masterpiece'. They go on to say that 'it serves as a call for social
justice and raising awareness, urging listeners to reflect on the
power of love in healing societal wounds'.
