Plus sophistiqué, plus arrangé et principalement axé sur des ballades (hormis Money, la seule grenade funk de l’album sur laquelle Sharon lâche la bête), I Learned The Hard Way ne sombre pourtant jamais dans la mièvrerie des ballades sur-arrangées. Qualité Daptone oblige, il n’y met d’ailleurs pas le moindre orteil et Gabe Roth, en enrichissant les titres de cordes gracieuses, de cuivres solennels et de backing vocals, affirme du même coup un talent de producteur bien plus étendu que son habituelle patte funk ne le laissait supposer.
Grande chanteuse.
Grand groupe.
Grand producteur.
Grand album.
Indispensable.

Not much is known about Lee, but the album's got that laidback, late nite groove that makes indie soul so great -- professional in intent, but handled with an honest simplicity that makes the record a bit more compelling than most of its contemporaries. Contains a version of "We've Only Just Begun" that's so great it's got to be heard to be believed -- completely different than the original, done with jazzy conga flourishes that really open up the groove. Other tracks include the great Northern Soul track "I'll do anything for you", "Gotta Get Home", "Sweet Magic", "Slow Down", "Let's Play Luck", and "Show Me".
Enjoy it!

Sortie : 2010Shawn Lee records and releases albums at a pace that few beside Robert Pollard could match, but at least Lee tries to make each one distinctive. His latest, Sing A Song, features vocalists on every track, and leaves aside Lee’s usual internationalist “soundtrack jazz” in favor of retro soul that wouldn’t sound too out of place on Daptone—that is, if Daptone were more interested in psychedelic-ified ’70s R&B rather than the sweaty, rootsy ’60s kind. Not that Lee stays completely committed to the bit; “Fade Up” has a spacey, futuristic feel, while the oddball ballad “I’ll Just Wait A While” shifts from acoustic moaning to wacked-out lounge music. But for the most part, Sing A Song leans more toward songs along the lines of the deeply funky Robert Bradley collaboration “Fading Light” and the bongo-riffic, distorted “Who Are You?” Sing A Song relies too much on novelty numbers like the one-joke “Christopher Walken On Sunshine” and the doo-wop piss-take “Swimming Pool,” but when Lee constructs a soul song as classic-sounding as “It Takes Two”—with its tin-can Marcus Malone vocals and bright chimes—he takes care to get the atmosphere as correct as the orchestration.

Sortie : 2010Big Sam's Funky Nation's fourth album, King of the Party, extends Big Sam's reign beyond the kingdom of Funk! This Hypersoul Records release embodies the full of life and celebratory attitude of band's hometown of New Orleans, and adds to it a funk-charged, rock n' roll, jazz and hip-hop infused vibe.
The title track and anthem, "King of the Party," declares that the party has arrived. The energetic drumming and gritty guitar work lay it down for Big Sam's funky trombone to blow you away as he flexes his musical muscle and takes on new musical territory. Big Sam wants you to dance, and sets out to do so with high energy and playful Parliament Funkadelic-inspired funk-rock jams like "Krunked Up" and "Rage On!"
The album takes a turn to a more soulfully-inspired groove with "Rock Yo Soul." A powerful drum intro, heavy guitar and bass lines underlie Big Sam's deep trombone in this funk-laden tribute to the classic rock gods such as Sabbath, Hendrix, and the Rolling Stones.
BSFN allows you to catch your breath with "Take 5," then pushes forward full-throttle with driving and upbeat rendition of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle." The straight BSFN party continues with horn heavy funk tracks "Big Ole Booty" and "Work It."
If you've ever seen BSFN live, you know exactly what Sam is talking about with "See Me Dance." The horn-heavy song swings into a bouncy beat and breaks it down to the nitty gritty-- Big Sam is a dancing machine and you'd better be ready to shake too it when you come to a live show.
King of the Party closes strong with "Dance Floor," an electronic funk track with lively vocals that could make a robot second line. King of the Party is full of pure musical energy andtranscends the confines of homegrown New Orleans funk to a momentous blend of funk, rock, R&B and jazz that will keep the party going all night.
