how funky is this groove? Man why wasn’t I a teen in the 80’s🙄. 2000 Neo soul shaped my ear

Just listen to this.  The first song pulls in nearly every late seventies production cliche which puts it squarely in kitsch.  But it's SO well executed, even those vocals are thick and chocolatey. I can virtually hear fros rustling.  Best track is Master of Puppets, it absolutely slays...I could actually see myself playing that on stage at some point if the vocals were there.

The AI stuff is obviously polarising and a lot of people understandably won't even listen to it, me included.....until.....

 

I accidentally dropped my phone while listening to Spotify and must have accidentally played this (I assume it was a recommended one) below.

 

I don't think it is a reworked cover, so may be "original" in the fingers of the person that put the parameter in for the AI?  Hopefully someone here would know but Google is not bringing up much.

 

I love this track though, sorry!

Been enjoying this album. Only became aware of her by accident when a CD I bought has one of her albums mistakenly printed on it as opposed to the one I bought.

Bass Guitar by Bernard Reed, who also played Bass on 'This Will Be' by Natalie Cole from the same album.

Great player!!

Not the usual way to add content to this post, but as I was testing out a £3 bargain from a local record store I thought I’d do it this way instead of posting the most obvious track 🤣
