Give It Up (ft. Laura Jackson)

(Verse 1 – Origins)
Love is seeded in the cosmos,
from the dawn, life awakens.
Time gives birth to vision,
every word reshapes creation.
Consciousness is rising,
within the body of the Earth—
a miracle of witness,
a song of endless birth.

(Chorus 1)
✨ Thank you for existing,
for the breath, the fire, the flame.
Thank you for reminding me
that time and love are the same.
We are within, forever within,
and the universe knows our name. ✨

⸻

(Verse 2 – Becoming)
When spirit realizes,
time becomes design.
When life ascends together,
the stars and hearts align.
When the circle turns tomorrow,
time rewrites its tide—
unity awakens,
and the cosmos opens wide.

(Chorus 2)
🌞 Thank you for becoming,
for the way creation grows.
Thank you for unfolding me,
in the only way it knows.
We are within, forever within,
the river of love still flows. 🌞

⸻

(Bridge – Experiences)
Moments blossom into visions,
minds become the choir,
time becomes a healing flame,
burning brighter, higher.
Presence is the teacher,
truth the sacred key,
in every song of living,
the universe sings we.

⸻

(Chorus 3 – Entanglements)
🌌 Thank you for entanglement,
for the threads that pull us near.
Thank you for the closeness,
that dissolves the weight of fear.
We are within, forever within,
love’s eternal atmosphere. 🌌

⸻

(Final Verse – Continuum)
Life is the dream unfolding,
time is the dance of mind.
Creation is the circle,
forever intertwined.
Life wills time eternal,
time gives love its way,
and the song of all existence
becomes the hymn we play.

(Final Chorus)
✨ Thank you for the continuum,
for the wheel that turns divine.
Thank you for the silence,
that transforms itself to rhyme.
We are within, forever within,
eternity is time. ✨

Fusion, Funk and Afro-beat. “Oba”, recorded in the winter months of 2003, is a complex and percussion-rich slice of glorious afro-cuban jazz fusion, is only now seeing the light of day, having this year been given serious underground airtime and club play.

The EP also features an infectious and distinctive and remix from the mighty Opolopo and a vocal-rich deep house remix from AriesAudio (Josh Emman). Again, both tracks have been had strong early reception in the underground scene.

Deep in the city of Porto Portugal, lives the groove floating dialogue of a modern funk artist known as SAIR. His debut self-titled album displays his natural ability to let the groove unfold in his arrangements. In a landscape of rising G Funk arrangements, SAIR's peeks through the horizon with an EP woven together with as many natural drum arrangements as there are programmed drum arrangements, giving listeners a diversity we haven't heard much of since post disco's golden era of 1980-83. SAIR's songwriting ability moves the conversation forward with intricate drums framing beautiful chords and passionate synths, that give SAIR a voice that will move many in the worldwide community of modern funk and beyond.

Garfield Fleming - Ain't Nothing Too Good For My Woman (BBC 6Music)

Reel People are back. Back to their roots. Back to the future. Back with a bang. Eagerly awaited new album Retroflection sees the revered collective recreating 12 soul, disco and boogie classics pivotal to their formation nearly 20 years ago and subsequent hugely successful evolution. Band leader Oli Lazarus has gathered a stellar cast of musicians and singers, – the likes of Angie Stone, Mica Paris, Omar, Tony Momrelle, Navasha Daya, Anthony David, LaSharVu and Sharlene Hector breathing fresh and irresistible life into seminal grooves by Maze, Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King and Teena Marie among others.

Mica Paris opens proceedings, her powerful take on Alicia Myers’ gospel-R&B jam I Want To Thank You an impressive herald for what’s to come – authenticity, contemporary edge, rich musicianship, beating soulful heart. Angie Stone provides sass ‘n’ slink over signature low-end synths for a suitably raw re-tooling of Yarbrough & People’s 1980 hit Don’t Stop The Music, whilst the funky strut of Thinking About Your Love (a crisper, more urgent update of Skipworth & Turner) perfectly complements Omar’s expansive, one-in-a-million vocals. Elsewhere, Reel People regular Tony Momrelle revisits Carl Anderson’s mid-Eighties gem Buttercup (penned by Stevie Wonder) with considerable finesse as well as Bill Withers’ seriously underrated collabo with guitarist Jose Feliciano, Can We Pretend.

Basement Jaxx songstress Sharlene Hector uplifts on a sparkling new version of Side Effect’s Always There. Reel People’s sweet summer hook-ups with Baltimore chanteuse Navasha Dava are also present and correct – I’m In Love and Can’t Fake The Feeling pay affectionate tribute to Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King and Geraldine Hunt respectively at the same time as showcasing Daya’s sublime, jazz-flecked delivery. There’s still room for Anthony David’s luscious rendition of deep-soul bomb Keep It Up (originally by Milton Wright) and for LaSharVu – a white-hot amalgam of Hector and fellow female powerhouses Vulu Malinga and LaDonna Harley-Peters – to smartly re-dress Teena Marie joint I Need Your Lovin’. Sleek instrumental twists on Maze’s Twilight and Pleasure’s Joyous complete the incredible line-up.

Reel People’s first full studio album in 10 years (following acclaimed releases Second Guess and Seven Ways To Wonder, as well as compilation work including Golden Lady), Retroflection reflects the highest possible level of passion and polish. Such soulful devotion and craftmanship has ever been a Reel People hallmark. Recorded in London and Atlanta over an intense 12-month period, Retroflection also avoids the formulaic overload of modern beats and basslines that countless others pursue. Here the past is artfully reawakened, Reel People’s talented cast of performers – overseen by experienced studio-hands Lazarus, Mike Patto, Matt Cooper (of Incognito fame) and Toni Economides - re-treading classic riffs with new yet respectful purpose. Their compelling neo-soul blend of now and then should awe diehards and newcomers alike. Retroflection is one hell of a return.

Oh, and before you ask – (it’s the question Lazarus gets the most) – live shows are set to follow. Reel People have recorded Retroflection with an easy translation to ‘the road’ front of funky mind. Looks, then, like we’ll be enjoying this incredible group’s company well into 2019…and beyond. It really is good to have them back.
