The Decoders latest offering, "Completeness feat. Divine Brown" is the 3rd single from the forthcoming LP, "Adventures From Paradise: A Tribute to Minnie Riperton". With this track, The Decoders have chosen to return to their Lovers Rock roots, combining it with elements of early seventies funk and soul.

Divine Brown (not to be confused with the one involved in the Hugh Grant scandal), is a Toronto based R&B vocalist with a 5-octave range (very fitting for a Minnie Riperton tribute). Divine is a Juno award recipient and is currently signed to Universal Music Canada. Born of Jamaican parents, Divine's roots are made evident with this Lovers version of a Minnie classic. 

Todd Simon's horn arrangements pay respect to Minnie Riperton's arranger Charles Stepney, Jamaican Rock Steady bandleader/arranger Byron Lee and Shuggie Otis. The rhythm section provided by Adam Berg and Itai Shapira (and Blake Colie on drums) also follows suit, providing a lush bed for Divine's vocals to soar on. 

Stay tuned for more upcoming releases from vol 3! The full length album is due in late Fall 2013.

Lyrics:
Can't live with you anymore
Can't live with no one else
Drinkin' at two in the morn
And I just can't help myself

Angel on my shoulder said
Hold up
Don't touch it
I'm so torn up
Latoya Luckett
Fuck it
We grown up
Don't hide it
I got somethin' rolled up
And we gon' light it
United
And then we

Smokin' in
The cadillac
Take a hit
Pass it back
Starts with this
And ends with that
Lingerie & candle wax
I know
I shouldn't worry about it
But I don't want
Want to live without it

Can't live with you any more
Can't live with no one else
Drinkin' at 2 in the morn
And I just can't help myself

Devil on my shoulder said
Go on
You can have it
Just pick the phone up
Reach out and grab it
Damn it
We grown up
Don't hide it
I got somethin' rolled up
And we gon' light it
United
And then we

Smokin' in
The cadillac
Take a hit
Pass it back
Starts with this
And ends with that
Lingerie & candle wax
I know
I shouldn't worry about it
But I don't want
Want to live without it

You know what I need, babe
You know what I need, babe

Be Free (DJ Jazzy Jeff and James Poyser Remix)

In only a couple of years, Los Angeles production trio (Todd M. Simon, Itai Shapira and Adam Berg) have cemented their reputation in the studio and on stage as the premiere production team and live band for artists like Rhye, Kelis, and Hollie Cook.

They have also garnered the attention of great worldwide tastemakers such as KCRW music director Jason Bentley, the legendary Gilles Peterson of the BBC, Jaime Cullum, Okayplayer, Saint Heron, Wax Poetics, Bandcamp and many more.

Rarely emerging from behind closed studio doors, The Decoders love combining their specialized brand of "decoded" classics from the 60's and 70's soul movement with an excitingly new blend of genres ranging from Lovers Rock to Dub, Brazilian Music to Psychadelic Soul.

Coco O. (of Quadron), Noelle Scaggs (of Fitz & the Tantrums), Leon Ware, Raul Midon and many others have lended their vocal talents to this special project with more to surely come for each new volume.

In a live setting, The Decoders are 10 to 20 piece ensemble featuring LA's top musicians and session players.  Thus far, they have released 2 volumes and a dub remix EP, including a few tunes from their upcoming LP, Adventures From Paradise: A Tribute To Minnie Riperton (vol 3), which will be completed in the summer of 2014 and features special guest vocalists and musicians including Bilal, Van Hunt, Mara Hruby, Andreya Triana, Alice Russell, Jimetta Rose, Niki Randa, and many more.
