COOL MILLION Vinilo y CD

Review: Street Soul bring the retro boogie flavours hard once again on their latest release, a dinky seven which sees Danish funkateers Cool Million line up alongside two modern pioneers of UK soul in Kenny Thomas and the Westcoast Soulstars. Thomas leads the way, lining the Cool Million arrangement of squelching modern up-tempo boogie with his own distinctive soulful refrain for "Without Your Love." Complementing this, "We Can Work It Out" sees the Westcoast Allstars deliver an almighty example of life affirming harmonies on top of an expert brass led production.

Review: Cool Million has long been synonymous with the boogie funk style, which is sadly a genre lost by the late 1980s. Collaborating with singers spanning eras from the 80s to today, they bridge generations of soul, funk, and boogie. Here they work with English soul sensation Kenny Thomas, known for his UK Top 40 hits, who is a cornerstone of the original UK soul scene, boasting eight Top 40 singles and two Top Ten albums. His track 'Without Your Love' exemplifies this genre, a driving uptempo anthem with a funky uplift. The accompanying dub version enhances its appeal for DJs worldwide, affirming its place in contemporary record bags.
