Les beaux jours arrivent et voici ce que j'aimerais écouter pour un apéro sexy au rosé à la couché du soleil...

A la bonne mixette by JeanChris BuBu vol.1

The Freestylers deliver their 4th album "Adventures In Freestyle". The new album sees Aston and Matt wear their dancefloor-friendly hearts on their sleeves once again. Ranging from the techno-punk stylings of 'Security', through the cinematic-string soundscape of 'Infernos', to the five and a half minutes of typical Freestylers filthiness that is 'Painkiller', which sees them team up with Oz drum and bass bods Pendulum, the album is a unique concoction of styles, pinned together in many cases by the vocal talents of long term studio partner, Marcel aka SirReal. Marcel's anacreontic lyrics espouse the virtues of everything from living the fast life to drinking Carling Black Label, on a slew of the album's highlights.

Elsewhere the album twists from the lyrical battering of 'Fast Life' to the trademark Freestylers booty bouncing on Jump 'N' Twist, while 'Could I Be Dreaming' comes on like Fun Lovin' Criminals on a day trip to Brighton. Smoky soul samples are the order of the day on down-tempo gem 'Pocket Full Of Sadness', while newcomer Corinna Grayson adds her vocals to 'In Love With You', a track that seamlessly blends the boys' song writing sensibilities with their breakbeat heritage.

"All of the vocalists we've worked with on this album are underground or unknown", explains Matt. "We didn't want to go down the route of using big names to get noticed, we hope that the songs will do that for themselves. We've been working with Marcel for a few years and his style just seemed to fit perfectly on the album. He's also been touring with us, along with Valerie M and the rest of the band, and really delivers something special when we play live. He can work a crowd perfectly, rather than just chatting non-stop over the records and has become an integral part of the Freestylers live experience".

about "Gringo" (original by Little Feat):
One song that hasn't been covered much is Little Feat's "Gringo," a Bill Payne composition originally recorded two years after bandleader Lowell George's demise when the band had already broken up, and included on the odds-and-ends compilation Hoy-Hoy!. This 1984 cover by singer-actor Arnold McCuller is one of the tracks on Yacht Soul 2 that best exemplify the concept that binds all these recordings together, the very definition of what we call "Yacht Soul".

Welcome Back, friends, to the Yacht Soul cruise that never ends!
This theme, explored at length in the previous installment of this series, is a fertile one that just keeps on giving, and give it certainly does on the tracks we have dug up for your perusal, enlightenment, edification and enjoyment on Volume 2.

For those just joining us, the concept here concerns R&B and soul artists mining the songbooks of their white contemporaries for cover versions that serve the dual purposes of potentially garnering some crossover radio airplay as well as introducing great songs to segments of the listening public who might otherwise miss them. Some of these versions might have come about because they were personal favorites of the artist in question, others might have been strongly suggested by their labels or by the publishing company, but all of them provide an entirely new perspective on what were already fantastic songs to begin with.

So there you have it--a further dig into this nebulous concept that reveals more unexpected connections and crossed paths. Understanding the hows and whys of the way these particular covers and collaborations came to be is as fascinating as just enjoying the music itself, and there really is a lot of great music to dig into this time around! We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did putting it together.
