spanky wilson & quantic soul orchestra - i'm thankful
Mentiria se dissesse que sabia quem era Spanky Wilson. Até posso conhecer de alguns álbuns que eventualmente possa ter ouvido, mas na realidade, só com pesquisas na net, lá consegui perceber de quem se tratava esta "enorme" mulher. Já quanto a Quantic, só se pode dizer que o homem é uma máquina! Já tinha falado dele no blog, aquando do seu último álbum "An announcement to answer", e agora Will Holland está de regresso, novamente. Numa mistura soul/jazz/funk século XXI, Spanky Wilson e Quantic Soul Orchestra presenteiam-nos com um belíssimo álbum em "I'm Thankful".
"by soul seduction
Since she burst onto the scene in the late 60s, Spanky Wilson has recorded with the likes of Marvin Gaye, Sammy Davis Jnr., Lalo Schifrin, Jimmy Smith and Willie Bobo. Renowned as a soul singer beyond comparison on both sides of the Atlantic, she has consistently released quality music for the past four decades, always collaborating with some of the most talented and respected producers of the day.
True to form, her new album - 'I'm Thankful' - sees her team up with Will Holland of The Quantic Soul Orchestra to produce a stunning collection of 21st Century jazz, funk, big band and soul music. Will and Spanky first collaborated in 2005 on two tracks for the third Quantic album, 'Mishaps Happening'. Inspired by this positive experience, they decided to write an album together. Months of work culminated in a week-long recording session in Spanky's hometown of Los Angeles, California. Will recruited some of the funk-soul scene's finest players to help him realise his vision.
Quantic's last solo album, 'An Announcement To Answer' was hailed across the board as his best and most accomplished to date. With this in mind, the prospect of a new Quantic Soul Orchestra LP is an exciting one for fans of raw, impassioned funk music - more so when you consider that, this time, the star of the show will be Spanky Wilson.
Versatile, raw, emotive and honest in any style she turns her hand to, Spanky Wilson remains as inspirational as she has always been - and her collaboration with The Quantic Soul Orchestra is further evidence of this."
