SAMUEL PURDEY レコード& CD

Review: Samuel Purdey's Musically Adrift is a hidden gem from the mid-90s, lost in the shuffle of Brit Pop but now resurfacing thanks to the efforts of music enthusiast Tim 'Love' Lee. Originally shelved by Sony Records and released only in Japan, this album combines elements of AOR, soul, and funk into a timeless masterpiece. With contributions from acclaimed musicians like Elliot Randall and Neil Cowley, as well as mixing by Grammy winners Elliot Scheiner and Bob Power, the pedigree of Musically Adrift is undeniable. The album's expert songwriting, exquisite arrangements, and top-notch musicianship pay homage to its influences, including Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, and Earth Wind & Fire. With its long-overdue reissue, Musically Adrift finally receives the recognition it deserves, cementing its status as a cult classic worth revisiting for fans of sophisticated, soulful music.
