Citrus Sun [2024] - Down For The Third Time [Dome]


From a forthcoming album "Anaconga" due on 14 June by Citrus Sun is the lead single, a cover of Bobby Caldwell's 1978 jazz funk gem "Down For The Third Time". It features one of our favourite UK based singers Natalie Duncan with Dominic Glover (trumpet) and Charlie Allen (guitar).

The album is conceived and produced by Incognito's Jean-Paul 'Bluey' Maunick and pays homage to jazz and soul greats back in the day. It's Bluey's fourth album for Dome (and fifth overall as the first was on Expansion Records in 2000) with his Citrus Sun side project which shows his more instrumental-oriented side.

It opens with four covers on the bounce, Tony Momrelle and Deborah Bond feature on Maynard Ferguson's "Mister Mellow". Ms Duncan performs lead once again on Erykah Badu's "Honey" followed by "Mystic Brew" (Ronnie Foster) and "Down For The Third Time". The remaining six tracks, we believe, are all original songs.

The single comes in two sizes, the 3:58 Radio Edit and the full Monty 5:50 album version and is released tomorrow (24 May).

Very strange as this is the third time today that we've featured music by an artist recently deceased as Bobby Caldwell passed  only in March this year and a tribute was posted.
