JKriv ft Angela Johnson - Not That Serious [Big Love]

Brooklyn native JKriv teams up with the hugely talented Angela Johnson whose wonderful vocals have graced more amazing tracks than I care to remember. The result is a catchy number with funky guitars, soulful strings and sassy brass. The stellar bassline could easily have underpinned classic funk tracks of the 70s and early 80s. I'm getting shades of Gap Band meets Cameo; gloriously funky and hugely uplifting!

Micky More & Andy Tee ft Angela Johnson - Not Your Average Kind [Groove Culture]

This one was finally released yesterday having created a significant stir on promo over the last few weeks. Featuring high quality vocals from Angela Johnson, "Not Your Average Kind" is a soulful and uplifting house groove that's pleasing on the ear to put it mildly. The track is founded on a strong blend of keys, bass and brass that have something of a seventies feel to them. Each of the elements blend almost effortlessly, sounding as though they just belong together. Another excellent release from a production team and label that are on fire right now.

Opolopo ft Angela Johnson - Good Lover [Reel People Music]

Today's pick is another cracking cover version of an old school classic. This time around Opolopo teams up with vocalist Angela Johnson to cover D-Influence's 1992 release "Good Lover". In terms of style, the production stays relatively true to the original although there's that distinctive Opolopo sound which shines through in the synth arrangement and electronic bass. Angela's vocals are again delivered in a manner that is sympathetic to Sarah Ann Webb's original effort all those years ago. If you were a fan of the original, you're likely to appreciate this highly respectful update. Available to pre-order now through Traxsource with a release date of 18th June.

Flashback 1999

Today's musical memory finds us back in the last century, in 1999 to be precise. I've picked a track released on Glasgow's Sole Music label which exemplifies the best in deep soulful grooves. With Angela Johnson on vocals, John-Christian Urich (Tortured Soul), on drums & keys and Frankie Feliciano on the remix this is a tasty tune that always brings a smile to my face.
