Upcoming: Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar

Written By 3 - March 05 2010

Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar 12" available here

This is the lead off single from Aloe Blacc's forth coming album Good Things, produced by Truth & Soul, and featuring the backing band known as Expressions and El Michel's Affair. The A-Side “I Need A Dollar” has just debuted as the theme song to the HBO series How To Make It In America. The 12-inch "I Need A Dollar" will be in at Conch, April 2010, to pre-order contact us at info@conch.co.nz

It's been 4 Years since Aloe Blacc released his debut full-length (Shine Through) which drew comparisons to everyone from John Legend to R.Kelly, but the wait has been well worth it. Aloe's back bigger & better than ever before with one of the most complete albums I've heard in years. The follow-up album was produced by Brooklyn's own Truth & Soul / El Michels Affair and is as proper of a soul album as there ever was drawing early comparisons to Bobby Womack & Bill Withers. The first single is not even out yet and has already been licensed as the ‘theme song’ for the new HBO Series ‘How To Make It In America’ from the producers of Entourage

UPCOMING: Various - Good God! Born Again Funk CD/2LP (Numero)

Written By 3 - January 15 2010

UPDATE:  CD available here, 2LP to come.

Released Jan 2010 on CD & 2LP, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

Various - Good God! Born Again Funk CD/2LP (Numero)

Not a resurrection, but a rebirth. The Numero Group’s 2006 release Good God! A Gospel Funk Hymnal examined what seemed to be a conundrum: gospel singers performing pious gospel songs, and devoutly, but doing so amid hot, sweaty, earthy sounds drunk on the same moonshine downed by any blues singer thumbing his way up north from the Mississippi delta. If the central premise was to grapple with a “funky” trend in gospel, forgive us for staring perhaps a bit too intently at the collision of sacred and profane we thought we saw on those LPs and 45s. This music was always sacred, and decidedly so.

Four years later, Numero returns with not quite a New Testament, rather a re-examination of a weighty tome. Born Again Funk lends new ears to a joyful strain of American composers and performers unafraid of expressing their devotion with both inspiration and invention. They were faithful to a spirit, not to an ordained sound.

Featuring: Pastor T.L. Barrett & the Youth For Christ Choir, Ada Richards, Gospel Comforters, Golden Echoes, Lucy “Sister Soul” Rodgers, Gospel Soul Revivals, Brother Samuel Cheatham, Victory Travelers, Jordan Travelers, Inspirational Gospel Singers, Sacred Four, Andrew Wartts & the Gospel Storytellers, Holy Disciples of Chicago, Ill., Sensational Five Singing Sons, Little Chris & the Righteous Singers , Sensational Five, Chicago Travelers, James Austin & the St. Luke COGIC Youth Choir.
