Relax Music

Akay delivers the goods in fine form. His infectious Pop music meets with Soul and Funk and is made to tear up the dancefloor with its high-class production. Akay is an artist with a high potential and that's no secret. The album features 14 great songs that range from uptempo smashers to jaw dropping ballads. Akay's remake of the classic "Sexual Healing" has been on high rotation with the world's best DJs for months now. Songs like the driving "Comfort Zone" or "So Good" speak for themselves and for the artist.  Akay's album was recorded and produced at Peppermint Jam records' own studio. Dutch producer Jan van der Toorn, who has worked with Akay before, brought him to Peppermint Jam's attention and started recording demos with him. The demos found their way to label co-owner Mousse T. who immediately liked them and who suggested to record a full album.  The album was recorded with an international sound in mind. Several musicians were flown in and a lot of the recordings were done live. Guest singers like Rah Digga (of Flipmode Squad) or Montell Jordan, who sang on „Not Like Me", only added to the great overall vibe and the mix by Hans Martin Buff (ex-personal studio engineer of Prince in his Paisley Park Studios, who had already mixed records by legends as Chaka Khan, Larry Graham, No Doubt etc.) secures the international flair.  It was very important for Akay to be involved in the songwriting process from day one. He was always inspired by artists like Stevie Wonder and Boyz II Men and also by producer Jan van der Toorn. "I couldn't have done it without Jan. He gave me so much power and taught me so much. Everything simply came together at the recording sessions." boasts a happy Akay.

Lei-an / Biography

Many young budding R&B vocalists from the UK have for many years diligently engaged in tackling the soul and R&B music scene. Lei-an is no stranger to the aforementioned having practiced her talents since she was as young as 7 years old.

Lei-an was consistently exposed to music and her early influences range from Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson to Madonna and Lauren Hill provoking Lei-an to actively seek the potential of her abilities in community shows and youth events alongside her then singing partner, becoming well known for their music by their peers.

As a duo, Lei-an and her singing partner created, contrived and orchestrated their own style and strived towards cracking the music industry with their fresh image and sound. After some time the group disbanded and individually the two sought separate careers in music. It was at this time that Lei-an and MOBO award winning hip-hop artist Funky DL (whom she had met in passing in a studio some years previous) decided they would at some point get in the studio together, but this would not take place until roughly a year after their initial conversations.

Then it happened… Lei-an embarked in recording with DL and they realized that their chemistry as vocalist and producer was justification for their decision to embark on a project as the first track recorded was the lead title from the album “Imagine” which resulted in a passionate yet rugged, sweet yet solid street worthy boom bap of a jam, layered with melodious harmonics and the subtleties of the multi talented Xantoné Blacq (Amy Winehouse band keyboardist)

After this point the two set about crafting a diverse collection of tracks which offered a rainbow of clever and catchy grooves to contribute towards what was to become Lei-an’s debut album “Imagine Me”. Lei-an and DL co-wrote the album together and also decided that they would both write solitary for the album as to give the project its strong variety in its written development. As a result “Imagine Me” is filled with chic styles, great grooves and class cuts for any discerning music lover and provides the right color, character and emotion to reflect the true artist that Lei-an is and her expressive story.

Lei-an appeared on the highly anticipated “4th Quarter Block Party” line up at London’s famous venue “The Jazz Café” alongside, Funky DL, Phoebe One, DJ Kofi and Pyrelli and astounded the crowd with her smooth and charismatic performance, using this platform to get new fans onside and effortlessly showcase her material to a keen audience.

All in all, Lei-an has worked extremely hard at crafting her niche and has vigorously pursued her passion as a vocalist, confidently creating the kind of music that anyone with a real ear for authentic sounds and true musicianship would recognize at the drop of a hat…

The album saw its initial release in Japan in 2008 via the Toys Factory.

Timeless

Funky DL is regarded as one of the most legendary, well respected and significant producers to come out of the UK. Now globally known for delivering albums with both musical and lyrical finesse, DL goes from strength-to-strength with each release. There has never been a hip-hop artist from his homeland who could match or even come close to DL's productivity rate of quality hip-hop releases, which makes him somewhat of a rare and special commodity within the hip-hop world.
