\"\"Der Herbst 2019 k\u00fcndigt sich an! Und damit nat\u00fcrlich auch die Kompilation, die uns seit nunmehr schon 20 Jahren den Oktober vergoldet. „Soul Togetherness 2019“ steht in konzentrierter Tanz-Klasse seinen 19 Vorg\u00e4ngern in nichts nach – f\u00fcnfzehn Ausz\u00fcge aus den besseren Playlists der noch laufenden Saison – selbstredend jeweils mit ordnungsgem\u00e4\u00dfem Tempo und mit genau den Feinheiten in den diversen Song-Abteilungen, die den Unterschied ausmachen. Zumindest dann, wenn es nach Ralph Tee, und seinem Teem, geht…
\nAlle Infos zu Boogie und Disco und R&B und Soul der diesj\u00e4hrigen Ausgabe finden sich im Begleittext, den wir hier schon mal zum Besten geben:<\/p>\n

Lukas Setto: „What Turns You On“
\nA signature song for 2019 is without doubt \u201cWhat Turns You On\u201d by Lukas Setto, a London artist who started the year with this first single and reached equal heights through the summer with \u201cOMG (Oh My Gosh\u201d). Lukas studied popular music at Stanmore College and received The Urban Music Award for Best Unsigned Artist (under the name of Lee Henry. \u2018Setto\u2019 is his nickname from college for his smooth falsettos). Under his pseudonym Tru Menace he has worked as a producer\/remixer for artists like Omar and Chris Brown, supporting Omar at \u201cThe Jazz Caf\u00e9 and Portrait at \u201cUnder The Bridge\u201d. 2019 is only the start of the Lukas Setto journey in which has already been called the UK\u2019s Maxwell and released the quality of soul we crave at a challenging time for the music we love.<\/p>\n

D.C.R.: „Positive Vibes“
\nD.C.R. is London based singer Dawn Claudette Rose who we welcome to our music scene this year with a terrific self-released song. The track is based in 80s old school groove as is so much of what we enjoy right now, produced by Michele Chiavarini who is both an artist himself and familiar to us through how work with Tyrone Henry, Tracy Hamlin, Beat Rivals & The Sunburst Band. Dawn combines her fashion and dancing skills in her video for \u201cPositive Vibes\u201d, not to be missed on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Steal Vybe Ft. Alexa Gold: „Make It Last Forever“
\nSteal Vybe are Chris Forman and Damon Bennett who first formed in the mid 2000s. Chris recorded some tracks as DJ Cee Rule, Damon featured on flute for artists including Jay Z, Glenn Lewis, Vivian Green and Kindred The Family Soul. \u201cMake It Last Forever\u201d comes from their third album \u201cGenerations\u201d which is a mix of soul and house styles. The song was first recorded by Donna McGhee in 1978, and then Inner Life with Jocelyn Brown in 1981 and Steal Vybe have done well to come up with such an incredible version.<\/p>\n

Raheem Devaughn & Jamecia Bennett: „Need To Know“
\nWhile from 2016, this only came to light more recently through Balu Mathews of Soul Japan Records acquiring CD copies of \u201cLove Jones\u201d, not the movie soundtrack but the completely different musical theatre version sold at shows. When it comes to a \u2018steppers\u2019 tune, this ticks all the boxes at the quality end of the genre, especially with the joint vocals of Raheem and Jamecia. Soul Japan has also issued the track on 7\u201d single.<\/p>\n

Shaila Prospere: „Plus One“
\nUK soul singer Shaila has been prolific again this year with her soulful dance tunes both on the dance floors and at the top of UK soul charts with \u201cPlus One\u201d and \u201cYou\u2019re Rich\u201d. It\u2019s all with new music since her 2017 album \u201cBack To Life\u201d and reunites her again with songwriter\/producer Michael Daley alongside none other than Lee Henry, aka Lukas Setto so you know this is pure quality.<\/p>\n

Glenn Jones: „You & Me“
\nGlenn Jones has one of the finest voices in contemporary soul. He has been celebrated since his time with The Modulations, then with Norman Connors and across his much loved albums for RCA, Jive, Atlantic and new leading independent label Talent Room Entertainment. At a time amazing voices such as his are so rare, it is exciting to learn of a forthcoming album titled \u201cLove By Design\u201d from which \u201cYou & Me\u201d is a featured single, a song first recorded by Exile in 1978 then more prolifically by Rockie Robbins. Making songs his own is what Glenn does so well, and we look forward to both his new album and upcoming live dates including an appearance at the January 2020 Luxury Soul Weekender with R&B Soul Singer Meli\u2019sa Morgan.<\/p>\n

Angie Stone: „Same Number“
\nAngie Stone needs no introduction, we go back with her to Sugar Hill Records, her spells with Vertical Hold, Devox and those amazing solo records for J Records, not least \u201cI Wish I Didn\u2019t Miss You\u201d which has become a modern soul room standard. On her new album \u201cFull Circles\u201d she works with an impressive cast, not least on this track which gives us everything we love about Angie\u2019s voice and her music.<\/p>\n

T.L. Shider: „Need Somebody To Love“
\nTimothy \u2018T.L.\u2019 Shider comes with some very impressive studio credentials as musician, arranger and producer. He has played on records for Alicia Keys, Trina Broussard, Kenny Lattimore, co writing \u201cThings We Do For Love\u201d for Horace Brown, \u201cAll Through the Night\u201d for P.O.V and \u201cSexy Side Of You\u201d with George Clinton. He has had numerous digital releases, his new album \u201cSome How Some Way\u201d, from which comes \u201cNeed Somebody To Love\u201d, only available from his website at tlshider.com. The song, groove, vocal and production are all of such high quality. Essential for this year\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n

Magoo: „Still Really Love“
\nMagoo is French singer, songwriter, musician and producer Philippe Bouthemy who\u2019s love of the 80s boogie sound first materialized on his debut album \u201cDr. Boogie\u201d in 2005, then there was the self-titled Magoo album for Boogie Times in 2010 ahead of this year\u2019s set \u201cLet\u2019s Have A Boogie\u201d including \u201cStill In Love\u201d which is just such a great sounding record with a flavor of what groups like Midnight Star were doing back in the day. Magoo has also worked with D-Train, Imaa, Marshall Titus and Saskia.<\/p>\n

The Terri Green Project: „Giving It Up“
\n\u201cGiving It Up\u201d got 2019 off to a flying start for The Terri Green Project, first in this original mix, and then bonus mixes and follow up tracks \u201cDance Tonight\u201d and \u201cWhat A Feeling\u201d ahead of a forthcoming album. The group is based out of Hamburg, Germany with primarily vocalist Terri Bjerre. aka Terri Green on vocals and keyboard\/sax man Torsten Abrolat, in charge. Musically they take from all the great artists we love in our genre, \u201cGiving It Up\u201d dominant on soul radio platforms across the year.<\/p>\n

Laville: „Thirty One“
\nWhat an amazing artist Acid Jazz have found in North London soul singer Laville. \u201cThirty One\u201d is a subtle dance floor shuffler with the depth of musicianship, arrangement and production rarely found these days. It\u2019s one for the connoisseurs, as is the new album \u201cThe Wanderer\u201d on which Laville steps up the tempo for a disco groove \u2018The City\u2019, delivers an ultimate slow groove \u201cThe Answer\u201d and gives a nod to a classic in \u201cWhat You Won\u2019t Do For Love\u201d. Class!<\/p>\n

Rockie Robbins: „Good Life“
\n2019 was a very good year for Rockie Robbins. \u201cGood Life\u201d was the title of his first album for 34 years, his amazing show at The Jazz Caf\u00e9\u201d was his first ever in the UK, and Expansion unearthed a previously unreleased A&M album from 1983 on which \u201cWithout You In My Life\u201d became the most sought after soul recording living memory. We are still working on that. \u201cGood Life\u201d was recorded by Ricky Peterson in Minneapolis, remixed with additional horns and Boogie Back goodness in London. A feel good record of the year.<\/p>\n

SolatiMusic: „Tell Me“
\nWorld Soul at it\u2019s finest, this time from Budapest with some help from Berlin. Pianist\/composer Tzumo \u00c1rp\u00e1d studied at Berklee College of Music taking lessons from Herbie Hancock! Herbie called him \u2018the greatest from Hungary\u2019. He began SolatiMusic in 2016 with Kriszta Pocsai (vocals), Tomi Heilig (bass guitar) and German drummer Toni Sn\u00e9tberger (drums), \u201cTell Me\u201d becoming a modern soul room dancefloor highlight in 2019 and an essential additional to this collection. Pick up to the rest of their album \u201cDebut\u201d on Bandcamp.<\/p>\n

Tre Williams: „When I Get Back“
\nTre began his music career in New York, his appearance at an Apollo talent show ultimately leading to an involvement with Nas on the \u201cHip Hop Is Dead\u201d album and then an unreleased solo album for Nas\u2019 label Ill Will Records. Tre has sung and recorded with Brooklyn based band The Revelations since 2008 and released his first solo single for Soul Japan Records earlier this year, combined with \u201cLooking For Love\u201d on 7\u201d single.<\/p>\n
