Here we have another installment to the Soul Heaven series by the New Jersey team Blaze. I always loved their blend of soulful house and here we have same stuff spread on 2 mixed cds and 1 unmixed compilation of Blaze´s productions. The album starts of with latin tunes on both cds and evolves to deep house territory from there. Luckily it doesn´t go too deep and has vocals which usually keep lacking from house these days imho. The album was bit deeper stuff than what I expected and some tracks are qutie similar. Still the mixes build well and have quality tunes to keep things rolling. What I expected was more jazzy/gospel house and there aren´t many of that style. Still I´d say this is quality house cd worth getting for lovers of Blaze.
Here we have totally unknown name for me which I think deserves to be mentioned. This Is The Day starts off with beautiful folk song A Small Dream. After this gorgeous opening cd moves to rock and has even hints of country. Through the cd these styles keep take turns and this makes it bit confusing for me. It felt like the cd doesn´t know what it wants to be. To be honest, I loved the acoustic songs, they were beautiful and had tons of feeling, rest of the songs didn´t work for me. Singer has good voice and has small hint of Damien Rice in it. also went too pop for me from time to time. I´d say it is worth giving a go definetly, especially if you like folk and rock/pop with hint of country
Can´t Stop Dreaming
I finally got this cd to my collection and I just gotta recommend it! It is step back to Felt Mountain era finally! I dare to say this could very well be big sister of Felt Mountain. It is nicely laid-back affair with good melodies for which I love about Goldfrapp. It is just beautiful cd, good one to listen to on a dark autumn evening with candles lit. If Felt Mountain was bit sad, this is optimistic and hopeful cd. I can´t explain it, it just gave me a bit sunny feeling. I am lost for words, so you better decide what you think of:)
