Brooklyn Funk Essentials [2019/2015] - Watcha Want From Me / Blast It! [Dorado Records]

Whilst looking for videos from the new Brooklyn Funk Essentials album "Intuition" we came across a couple from their previous two albums not released as singles. So if you missed them first time around, then here they are.

The first is "Watcha Want From Me" from "Stay Good" featuring the lead vocals of Alison Limerick and Desmond Foster. The song is a re-make of "Whadda U Want (From Me)" from Frankie Knuckles' "Welcome To The Real World" album (1995) that featured Adeva on lead vocals.

The other is "Blast It!" from "Funk Ain't Ova" (2015) featuring vocals from Stephanie McKay, and Desmond Foster.

Brooklyn Funk Essentials [2023] - Intuition [Dorado Records] (Full Album)

The Brooklyn Funk Essentials is a music collective formed in 1993 by Arthur Baker who mix jazz, funk, and hip hop featuring musicians from different cultures. They released their seventh album "Intuition" on Friday (5 May '23).

The eight tracks contain their last four singles ("Rollin' (Love Will Be Here)" (Mar '23), "How Happy" (Jan '23),  "AA Side Single" (Sep '22), "Scream!" (Jul '22)) all featuring London's Alison Limerick, as are three of the remaining four new songs, with the other featuring Everton Sylvester. 

Sylvester is a poet and has been with the collective since the beginning and features on the song "Mama" which is perhaps best described a jazzy, dub reggae rap which is quite effective! 

That song, along with the soulful and jazzy "Unkissed" and the funky and jazzy "Sho'nuff", both featuring Alison Limerick, from the new material would be our recommendations, but it's a solid album throughout. 

A music video for the title track "Intuition" (which has an acid jazz feel which sounds like a cross between Brand New Heavies and Jamiroquai) ) premiered on their YouTube channel on Friday perhaps suggesting that it is the one they are going with for the new single?
