Schema records bring together Italian Jazz artist Nicola Conte and Gianluca Petrella for a mixed bag of Jazz, Latin, Soul , Electronic music and Hip Hop reflecting the current world situation ‘People need People’. Long time associate British singer Bridgette Amofah adds her delightful vocals to the lilting latin-esq ‘Imani River’, the more urgent House rhythms of ‘New World Shuffle’. Debo Ray has a sweet voice as illustrated on the moody ‘Mother of the Earth’ and down tempo ‘Hold on to your dreams’. The upbeat cleverly ‘Nigeria’ and ‘African Spirits’ mix jazz with house rhythms and the title track ‘People Need People’ is a nice up tempo Soul track. Nice album albeit a little different from what we expect from Conte.
