PREMIERE: Joselacruz - Sensation [Monophony]

'Morris does not interpret soul. She is soul, with all its passion and pain, joy and sorrow, hard times and highs.'
THE GAZETTE, MONTREAL

‘There's no hiding place at a Sarah Jane Morris gig – either from her opulent, multi-octave voice and raw emotional clout that recalls Nina Simone and Janis Joplin, or from her lyrics that explore love and pain, sex crimes, war crimes, Catholicism and contraception – and a whole uncompromising bunch more.’
THE GUARDIAN

Sarah-Jane Morris is the British soul, jazz and r&b singer who topped the UK pop charts for a month in 1986 (with The Communards’ disco version of ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’) and then eloquently and joyously sidestepped the mainstream ever after. Morris’s magnificent soul voice and emotional power would have brought multiple Grammy awards and celebrity status to most singers with her charisma and drive. But for over 25 years of a unique career, Morris has steered by her own star, not the music industry’s, and that independence has brought her a devoted audience, inspired by her belief in the power of song to change hearts and minds.

That belief inspired Bloody Rain, the ambitious new collection of love-songs, tributes, warnings and protests that she regards as the best album of her life, which will be released on Monday 15th September 2014.  

Devoted to the people of Africa, and the music of that continent that has inspired so many artists for so long, Bloody Rain brings together a stunningly diverse group of performers. Among a raft of guests are the Zimbabwe-born singer Eska, Senegal’s Seckou Keita on kora, UK-Caribbean saxophonist Courtney Pine, the Soweto Gospel Choir, American/Israeli jazz trumpeter Avishai Cohen, former James Brown arranger Pee Wee Ellis - and of course the soulmates from Morris’s touring band, including Sting sideman Dominic Miller, and guitarist Tony Remy, co-writer of many of the new songs. 

Typically, Sarah-Jane Morris doesn’t flinch from some raw subjects in telling this story, and while she hopes that many of these haunting songs ‘will lift your spirits’, she accepts that ‘some will make you weep.’ Blossoming as a lyricist in recent years, the singer and her co-writers have taken on subjects from tyrannical political power (‘Bloody Rain’), to honour killings (‘No Beyonce’), child-soldiers (‘No Comfort For Them’), and homophobia (‘David Kato’). 

But these forthright songs, ignited by irresistable grooves, superb playing, and Morris’s startling shifts from the soulfully rhetorical to the intimate, are about hope, not resignation. Bloody Rain is also, crucially, about love - in which respect, though the examples are Sarah-Jane Morris’s own, the music speaks to everyone. Her husband Mark and her 80 year-old mother Joy are the inspirations for the glowing Afrobeat opener ‘Feel The Love’, ‘For A Friend’ is a tender yet upbeat tribute to special companions, ‘Wild Flowers’ a grateful celebration of her eccentric, accidentally-liberating upbringing, and the closing ‘On My Way To You’ is as delicate and tender as anything this expressive singer has recorded in her long career.

The album was created through PledgeMusic, a platform where artists and fans come together.  Pledges made have raised the money to pay for the very special guests and collaborators on this album, making the kind of risky and imaginative music that Sarah-Jane Morris’s audiences love.   Those pledgers will be treated to a one-off performance of the album on Saturday 14th June at The Hippodrome, London.

Bloody Rain is released on Monday 15th September 2014 and Sarah-Jane Morris will launch the album with a gig at the Union Chapel on Thursday 18th September 2014.

PREMIERE: Joji Chissu & Hotmood - Nipple's Delight [Discozilla]

Funkyjaws Music comes though with more of that lovely loose-limbed disco goodness that is never going to fail in energising a decent dance floor. Let's Dance Volume 4 is another various artists affair that launches with James Greenwood & Aniello's feel-good 'Look Of Love' which has it all - the sweet female vocal, the florid strings, the rolling bassline and big brass leads. Scruscru & Los Protos's 'Corason' brings some Latin flavours with a more deep and seductive groove and Jkriv and Love Drop offer up two b-side jams packed with soul and irresistible rhythms that effervesce with uplifting vibes.
