Ciyo Brown [2023] - Borderline Re-mix [Self Released] PROMO

Ciyo Brown is a London based, Jamaican-born, internationally acclaimed guitarist, singer, composer and musical director but may not be a name that trips off the tongue but when you discover the vast array of big name artists that he has worked with you may begin to wonder why.

Ciyo self-released his seventh album, "Can We Pretend", via his website in Apr '22 (it gained a wider release on digital platforms in Nov) which he described as a "Vocal Excursions with a Tinge of Guitar!" and represents his vocal exploration of original material and songs taken from the soul, jazz, reggae, and pop genres. 

His forthcoming fifth single from the album is a remix of one of the album tracks "Borderline" which was also the title track of his fifth album in 2004. The re-mix offers additional dimensions such as background vocals, a live horn section, percussion and acoustic guitar. It will be available from his website only on 11 Aug.

It features Ciyo (vocals / guitars), Neville Malcolm (double bass), Robin Aspland (piano), Pete Adam-Hill (drums), Chinara Kurmayr (violin) Sandii Mac (BGVs), Karl Vanden Bosche (percussion), Kevin Robinson (trumpet), Laura Impallomeni (trombone) and Daniel McBrearty (tenor saxophone).
