Bastard Jazz US レコード& CD

Review: 2017 was the year that electronic wonk-funk saw its heyday, and uncoincidentally, it was also the year that B. Bravo (Adam Mori) saw the release of his first album 'Paradise'. 2022 is the year the genre should make a comeback, after just five years. If such were to be the case, Bravo's second album 'Vizionz' would be the catalyst. Charting collaborations with rapper Def Sound and singer Sally Green, this one points towards only the best detuned sonics, synth bass licks and Miami heat-hazed vizionz.

Review: LNDFK makes a hugely impressive debut on Bastard Jazz here. It isn't just her label debut, but her first ever solo release after previously providing vocals to the likes of Pellegrino & Zodyaco , Ze In The Clouds and Doniel. Her spoken-whispered-sung vocals are soft around the edges, fuzzy and warm as they convey real emotion. It is neo-soul for 2022 and beyond, with jazzy instrumentals and broken beat drums proving nice vehicles for the vocals. Guests Chester Watson, Asa-Chang another's add further colour to this most timeless of albums.
