Regi Myrix Presents Michelle Brooks-Thompson [2022] - Then I Met You (Nigel Lowis Remix) [Myrix Media Group]

Michelle Brooks-Thompson, and not forgetting Regi Myrix, released "Then I Met You" only a couple of weeks ago on 29 Apr and it is #6 on the current UK Soul Chart (after entering at #20 last week). 

Nigel Lowis has added his magic to the original version with a new Nigel Lowis Remix due for release on 20 May 2022. I can't quite put my finger on it, but this new mix is 'meatier' and brings Michelle's excellent vocals more to the fore. Whilst the original was probably more jazz flavoured, the new version is even more soulful. I've included both version below so you can compare for yourself.

Michelle first rose to fame as a finalist on The Voice (US) in 2012. As with many powerhouse vocalists, she served her 'apprenticeship' in the church with gospel music from a young age and is a graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music.

She had a hit at the tail end of 2021 with the uptempo "Live It Up" which followed the ballad "Woman First" from May 2021. Her latest single sits between the two style-wise as is an emotional ballad/stepper on which her gospel influenced vocals are in evidence especially in the end quarter of the song.

The song was written by Ty Juan, who also provided backing vocals along with Nia Simmons, and produced by Regi Myrix and will be released on 20 May 2022.

Nigel Lowis [2021] - An Interview with Gary Van Den Bussche on Starpoint Radio 2nd Nov 2021 He

Gary Van Den Bussche's interview guest today was phenomenal UK producer Nigel Lowis. I found it a fascinating interview as Nigel revealed some of the giants of soul music he was worked with over his thirty plus years in the business.

In addition to the interview I've randomly selected a playlist of fifteen of his remixes.

Nigel (born 6th Feb 1959) is a songwriter, producer, remixer from Kent, England who has sold over 16m records. He started in the late 80s in a group called Gun House. He produced his first hit in 1990 with Maureen Walsh (who was previously with Bomb The Bass) on a production of Sister Sledge's "Thinking Of You". 

He co-wrote and produced the Brit award winning album with Dina Carroll, "So Close" and then "Only Human", reaching #2 in the UK album charts.

He then went on to produce a cover of Glen Jones, "Stay" with UK girl band Eternal, which became their first top 10 hit in the UK and US and then produced their #1 hit with "Wanna To Be The Only One", a duet with Bebe Winans.

Other work has included producing the Carole King "Tapestry revisited" album, executive music producer on the BBC Show "The Fame Academy" also producing the #1 hit "Stop Living the Lie" for David Sneddon and the #1 "Fame Academy" album. He co-wrote "The Tracy Beaker theme" for the BBC series Tracy Beaker, which has since been sampled by Stormzy for his new album.

He has played a big part in the dance/house music scene since his career began and continues to arrange and produce with house royalty, David Morales (Kings of House) and together AKA as Disco Juice. The albums are due for release in late 2021.

In the world of Soul and Disco, Lowis has recently produced two backing tracks and wrote one of the songs for the new Spinners album "'Round The Block And Back Again" with Preston Glass and with 20 UK number 1 Remixes to his name.

Over his 30 years plus career he has worked with some incredible people including, Burt Bacharach, Quincy Jones, Patti Austin, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, Don Black, Michael Ball, Bebe Winans, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Carole King, Gene Page, George Benson, The O'Jays, Tom Moulton David Morales, with ABC and BBC TV networks to name but a few.

In 2021 Nigel will be working on several international projects including Trilogy 2020 (Electric Lady) (a multimedia rock project), co-writing a 6 part TV drama series and soundtrack, and remaking the Dina Carroll 30th anniversary box set for 2022 release.

Some tracks he has in the the pipeline include music from Trammps, Candi Staton, Ty Juan, Regi Myrix, Pauline Henry (The Chimes), Delegation, Brotherly Love "Soul City Connection" (which is a  Glitterbox PIR Tribute).
