Modern –Retro – and Funky are 3 words that can best describe this new recording venture. A soulful, fresh and funky ride through 13 sparkling sides, bringing back as the title suggests, a mix of sophisticated soul-jazz productions recalling everything from James Brown-fueled funk to Marvin Gaye-ish soul to George Duke-styled funky jazz.
Mr. Di Lorenzo’s sophomore release (following up on 2005’s “Urbanized”) combines nine stellar original instrumentals with four classic vocal covers from the Crusaders, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Spinners and yes, the Fred Astaire songbooks. Retro and funky old school sounds with a modern twist.
One listen to Fred Astaire’s old standard “One For My Baby” and you will be hooked as this is destined to transform into a new classic of today.
“Can’t Hide Love”, first single gaining radio adds.
Currently available on iTunes, Amazon and CDBaby.
