The ever reliable Will Downing returns with another 6 tracks of quality romantic sophisticated soul ‘Luscious’. The tracks are all conversions of classic songs restyled by Will featuring some great musicians. Marcus Johnson plays piano on his version of Junior’s ‘Mama Used To Say’ taken at a slower pace than the original but in someways it actually suits the song better. Jon Lucien’s beautiful ‘Rashida’ features Marion Meadows on sax and naturally, it is a very soulful version. ‘The Power Of Love’ features Randy Bowland on guitar and Rhodes and the song epitomises Will Downing’s music. No surprises, just quality music...
Gina Sedman (formerly Gina Carey) returns with 'Valuable People', a collection of 11 self-written and produced songs, her first album in a while. The title track and 'What The World Needs' are very funky grooves. The mid tempo 'But What's Inside' has an 80s Soul feel. 'Smile' is a highlight featuring Michael J Calhoun of Kinsmann Dazz on guitar and Kevin Flournoy on electric piano which has a rare groove approach. There is also a remix which has a more percussive groove. 'Grace' is another highlight, an upper mid tempo groove. 'I Refuse' is more uptempo. 'Living In A World'...
