Blue King Brown - “Worldwize” (part 1 North and South)
September 5th 2010 05:15
Two years of writing, recording, re-writing and more recording and now the end product is upon us. Blue King Brown have released the first part of their new double album opus “Worldwize” (part 1 North and South). This album is split into two parts. The main album North is 14 tracks of Blue King Brown’s blend of roots, reggae, funk and soul and South is 7 remixes and dub tracks that show the band experimenting more with digital sounds.
Blue King Brown have always impressed with their ability to mix social awareness issues with funky music to groove to. Tracks like lead single ‘Women’s Revolution’ (feat. Queen Ifrica) and ‘Say Peace’ combine a positive message backed by Jamaican inspired sounds, where majority of the vocals for the album were recorded. Second single ‘Never Fade Away’ opens with a piano riff before drifting into more electronic beats. A song like ‘Resist’ highlights Natalie’s beautiful voice and lyricism, and ‘Moment Of Truth’ is a stomping anthemic track with a funky beat and great live vibe to it.
Guests include Voodoo Dred on ‘Hammer’, Sly and Robbie on ‘Mo Truth’ and Jah Mason on ‘The March’ capture the global sound that the band aimed to achieve with this journey they’ve taken to create this album. This record musically expands on their previous album “Stand Up” and takes the band into another level where musicianship and songwriting talents come through.
The South component to the album sees Blue King Brown take digital sounds and make them an organic piece to complement the first part to the album. This new level of instrumentation serves to benefit their sound and it becomes clear why international audiences are starting to pick up on Blue King Brown.
With part 2 due for release in the new year, Worldwize is the album to define Blue King Brown. They’ve taken gone to great lengths to ensure the best songs make the final product and makes the album one of those records that demands you listen from start to end.
