STR4TA [2022] - STR4TASFEAR [Brownswood Recordings] (Full Album)


Gilles Peterson and Jean Paul 'Bluey' Maunick’s STR4TA project release a sophomore album "STR4TASFEAR" which follows "Aspects" (Mar 2021) both on Peterson's Brownswood Recordings transporting those of a certain age back to the late 70s/early 80s Brit Jazz/Funk scene.

We've had four tracks already released a  singles in the shape of "Turn Me Around", "When You Call Me", "Night Flight" and "Lazy Days" feat. Emma-Jean Thackray.

There are several guest artist appearing on the album, Omar on "Why Must You Fly", Floridian trumpeter/vocalist Theo Coker pops up ion two tracks "To Be As One" and "Soothsayer", Brighton duo Anushka on "(Bring On The) Bad Weather" (released on their second album "Yemaya" in Jun '21 and also as a four track single with remixes in Jan '22 but I think the version on this album is another new mix) and Jazz FM Album of the Year winner Emma-Jean Thackray on "Lazy Days" and Valerie Etienne on "Find Your Heaven".

On keys/piano is Peter Hinds (Atmosfear, Light of The World, Incognito).

Released on digital, CD & 12" LP formats with a special edition white 12" LP. Oddly, the CD is cheaper than digital on Amazon but all prices are cheaper via Bandcamp and the artists gets to retain more, so buy from there!

STR4TA [2022] - Turn Me Around [Brownswood Recordings]


The new single released yesterday (15 Sep 2022) from STR4TA "Turn Me Around" is a throwback sound to the early/mid 80s Brit jazz funk scene think Freeez, Atmosfear, Light of The World, Incognito, The Warriors and  Beggar & Co.

It's not that surprising when you consider Jean-Paul 'Bluey' Maunick and Peter Hinds who are involved in the project were both in a few of those bands (i.e. Atmosfear, Light of The World, The Warriors, Incognito).

The single is from STR4TA's  forthcoming sophomore album "STR4TASFEAR" due on 11 Nov 2022. Another two tracks have already been released as singles "Night Flight" (15 Jun) and "When You Call" (8 Apr).

The album has some guest artists up it's sleeve in the guise of Omar, Theo Coker (guesting on two tracks), Emma-Jean Thackray, Valerie Etienne and Brighton duo Anushka on a new take on their single "Bad Weather". If you remember there were a number of STR4TA remixes on the original release.
