Isaac Aesili - Eye See CD

Written By 3 - September 07 2009

Isaac Aesili - Eye See CD

Isaac Aesili’s debut solo album Eye See is a rich tapestry of sound with R&B at its heart, and lashings of soul, reggae and funk woven within. Experimental and futuristic in some parts, warm and soulful in others, the album, an extension of its author, is a tribute to diversity.

The concept behind Eye See was born of Isaac’s desire to offer today’s youth a counter voice to the glorification and idealisation of gangster culture, so often promoted by commercial R&B. Destructive lyrics endorsing kids to fail school and encouraging promiscuity, drugs, violence and degradation of women, saw Isaac grow increasingly disillusioned with the genre of music he had loved since he was a teenager. He resolved to record an R&B album that used contemporary production styles, with references to commercial R&B so that it would still appeal to youth, but he would transpose the negative messages with hopeful, positive themes.

Eye See is an inspired album of intelligent, conscious music, an investigation of our world from the perspective of the youth. The opening eponymous track, a song that explores the state of the world today, features Isaac’s nephews and nieces each reciting a line. It is for them and their generation that Isaac created Eye See.

Sole-Phonic - A Tribute To The Classics

Hot off the back of his highly successful Wellington exhibition at Manky Chops Gallery, Sole brings his latest work up to Auckland to serve up a tribute to the old school masters of Soul, Funk, Jazz, and all that classic goodness. Under the guise of ‘Sole-Phonic’, he launches a new extension to his alias, blending his passion for both music and art. This latest body of work is inspired by the forefathers & mothers of our modern music culture, and the record cover artworks that accompanied their vinyl 12” & 7” inch records. From the soulful depths of Nina Simone, Al Green, & Aretha Franklin, thru to the funky / jazzy grooves of James Brown, Miles Davis & Michael Jackson. Spread over two locations in the heart of Ponsonby, Solephonic will be on show at 7th Chamber Gallery, (next to the new BaseFM HQ) and Conch Records.
