Cinematic Orchestra - “All That You Give”

Written By : Stone // Comments (0)

For some reason, I woke up with this song in a constant loop in my brain when I woke up this morning. I don’t know why–I haven’t heard this track in years. Maybe the lack of Air Conditioning in my condo was going straight to my head.

Anyways, if you don’t know, the Cinematic Orchestra is a dope outfit out of London which combines, hip-hop sampling with live jazz arrangements as well as electronica for some truly ground-breaking music.

This particular track, All That You Give, features American soul singer and Cinematic collaborator Fontella Bass who is best known for her song “Rescue Me,” which most people attribute to Aretha Franklin. Unfortunately, that was her only hit, and remained in obscurity until her first recording with Cinematic in 2002.

The song “All That You Give” is on Cinematic Orchestra’s first album. YouTube user wax35 gives some background on the song:

One of the most emotional songs I’ve ever heard.
Fontella’s mourning for her husband, the Jazz great Lester Bowie, who had recently died. She did the vocal in one take and she cried when they were rewinding the tape, it was the first time she’d been able to cry for him since he’d passed away. They’d been married for 39 years.

The song is dedicated to his memory.

Heartbreaking…

Peace all and, please, listen to music with soul and REAL talent..

Alice Russell at Bohemian Caverns This Sunday

Written By : Stone // Comments (1)

So let me say this, Alice Russell pwns all of these little “blue eyed soul,” chicks, including Amy and Adele. Her album, Under The Munka Moon is a classic and should be in everybody’s iPod. She’s doing TWO shows at Bohemian on Sunday night and its definitely a good look. I’ll actually be seeing miss Russell in Montreal next weekend, but I might dip by at the 7:00 show for a preview.

Pics: Too Black Guys Summer Line

Written By : Stone // Comments (2)

Too Black Guys just dropped their summer line titled “Jim Crowe Couture,” rocked by none other than newly signed Universal recording artists Pacific Division as well as Diz Gibran and TiRon.

Pacific Division - Taste

Too Black Guys describes themselves as “social commentary and next level fashion,”. The Toronto-based line seems to be able to craft poignant social messages with subtlety, finesse and wit. Their new line has the same sarcastic, dry, and relevant humor as yours truly.

Threads are available at Union (NY/LA).

Check Lo

Written By : Rome // Comments (0)

One of my favorite, if not favorite songs ever. From the drum break (skull snaps), to the sample, and the overall relaxed vibe of the song, this just bangs for me and has since the summer of 97.
