TITO LOPEZ COMBO Vinilo y CD

Review: We're big fans of this label here at Juno HQ as we have said before and how can you not be when it serves up soul as good as this? Mel Day delivers authentic deepness with 'Every Day I Try.' It is a heartfelt lament for lost love that is backed by the accomplished Tito Lopez Combo and some magnificent instrumentation. On the flip side, 'Baby Girl' sees Mel channelling the spirit of Joe Tex with confidence and flair. Produced under license from music maestro Harbans Srih, this vinyl-only release harks back to the golden era of soul music and is sure to prove a timeless modern classic.

Review: This Hawaii-based label consistently delivers soulful gems like this which is why we love it so much.

On the other side, 'Baby Girl' showcases Mel's confident and stylish channelling of the spirit of Joe Tex. This vinyl-exclusive release, produced under license from the esteemed music maestro Harbans Srih, pays homage to the golden age of soul music and is destined to become a timeless modern classic.

Review: Switzerland's crucial Burning Sole is back with another timeless 7" here featuring Mel Day and Tito Lopez Combo. 'This Little Girl Of Mine' has some red hot and guttural vocals bring the pain in an old school sou style over tight guitars and drum work. It's lo-fi and brilliantly backed by some big horn energy. After that aching lament comes the downtempo and introspective blues-eyed soul of 'Feeling Sad' with its slow grooves and pained vocal expressions. This is another crucial soul 45 from the always on fire Burning Soul and one that improves your collection of wallowing soul gems no end.

Review: As they often like to do Switzerland's Burning Sole label is dropping its latest lovely single in several different coloured vinyl versions. This newest yet timeless 7" features Mel Day and Tito Lopez Combo and arrives on blue vinyl in limited copies. 'This Little Girl Of Mine' is lo-fi and brilliantly backed by some big horn energy with red hot and guttural vocals. After the beautiful pain of that one comes downtempo and introspective blue-eyed soul burner 'Feeling Sad' with its slow grooves and pained vocal expressions. The impact of both of these tunes is brilliantly indelible.

Review: The Tito Lopez Combo brings together some of London's finest musicians and here is led by the renowned drummer Harbans Srih, who gained fame for his performance on the iconic Starsky & Hutch theme with the James Taylor Quartet. On this one, 'Bostin ' Norton' gets going with some steamy and seductive sax notes which rise out of a bubbly funk brew. 'Play It Again Sam' los it don t more pensive and prying melodies which unfurl at their own pace of icy cymbals and deep drums.
