Michael Gray [2024] - Optimism [Sultra Records] (Full Album)

Dumbarton born, Croydon (South London) based, DJ / producer / remixer Michael Gray has released his second album, "Optimism".

As you'd expect, it's rammed with 'housed up' dance tunes. A striking one is "Fly Away" based on Stevie Wonder's "As" with a gospel choir, The Sultra Gospel Singers.

However, there are a few soulful songs such as "All I Want Is You" feat. Lex Cameron and a few 80s throwbacks such as "Don't Want Anybody" and "Where Do We Go From Here" (both feat' Kelli Sae) with a funky Chic/Nile Rogers-like bass line as does "Virtual Cool".

Kelli Sae has her fourth studio album due later this year and a forthcoming Latin flavoured single from it, "Good Feeling", is due on 21 Jun via Reel People Music.

If dance music is your thing then there are plenty to choose from here some with obvious commercial crossover appeal.

Michael Gray Feat. Brutha Basil & Tatiana Owens [2022] - In My World [Glitterbox Recordings#GLITS0090D]

A nice bit of soulful house / nu disco, however you wish to categorise it, from Michael Gray featuring Brutha Basil and Tatiana Owens. "In My Word" was released last Friday (25 Nov).

Brutha Basil has featured on these pages a couple of times already with "Keep Keeping On" in May and a mashup of Gil Scott-Heron classics in "Because Of Gil" in March 2021. 

It's Tatiana Owen's debut on the blog but we are told that she has performed background vocals for Stevie Wonder's "Songs In The Key Of Life" tour at The Prudential Center in Newark, NJ and has released just shy of twenty singles and an album "Colorful Too" in Oct 2020.

Michael Gray is a British DJ and house music producer.
