R.I.P. Anna Gordy Gaye (Jan 28, 1922 – Jan 31, 2014) 

"Anna Gordy Gaye played an enormous role in Marvin's life and inspired some of his greatest music. And while their relationship may have been a troubled one, it still remains one of the most important love stories of our time. This song is dedicated to their story and to the memory of Anna Gordy Gaye."

COMING SOON: "Yasiin Gaye: The Return (Side Two)" 

Amerigo Gazaway’s new *Soul Mates* series continues the theme of his previous work in creating collaborations that never were. On the series’ first installment, the producer unites Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and soul legend Marvin Gaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled “Yasiin Gaye”. Building the album’s foundation from deconstructed samples of Gaye’s Motown classics, Gazaway re-orchestrates the instrumentation into new productions within a similar framework. Carefully weaving Bey’s dense raps and Gaye’s soulful vocals over his new arrangements, the producer delivers a quality far closer to Gaye’s famous duets than that of a “mashup” album.
