“Paradise” is in bloom and finally completed. The EP is being mastered this week by Steve Hall of Futuredisc Systems, as well as the booklet design being finalized with Ray Easmon. I’ll be previewing the “Sanctuary (Raregrooves Mix)” in the days to come via Soulpersona and Soundcloud. If you’re just getting familiar with “Paradise”, the first single was “Nightlife” which went Top 5 in the UK Urban and Commercial Pop. “Nightlife” features original Shalamar male lead Gerald Brown (“Take That To The Bank”) for a full circle disco soul moment. In America, the single went to #19 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play. Read press about the project here including (Yahoo Music, Ebony, Uptown, Wax Poetics and more): here. Release date forthcoming, any day now. In the meantime, please continue to help me spread the word:
