Sy Smith has been making her own style of independent Soul since 1999, having been featured on our Organic Soul vol 3 comp over 20 years ago. Her 6th album ‘Until We Meet Again’ is possibly her best to date, and certainly one of the best Soul albums you are likely to hear in 2024. It contains 10 well crafted songs, highlighting her lovely unique voice. One of the standouts is her self produced mid tempo song ‘Why Do You Keep Calling Me’ which brings back memories of Minnie Riperton or Deniece Williams from the 70s. ‘Photograph’ is another lovely mid tempo groover. The floating ‘Remember How To Fly’ features Chris Botti on trumpet. ‘Slide’ is more uptempo with great production from Zo and Tall Black Guy. ‘Masterclass’ is an uptempo track with slight Latin feel ft guitarist Leonardo Amuedo and Shelia E. ‘Summer Of 93′ has a hip hop Soul feel intro then develops into a nice laid back groove. All The Ways’ is another mid tempo groove, and the excellent’Until We Meet Again’ has a Bossa Soul groove. Really strong album, don’t miss this limited edition CD.
