Review: Silhouette Browns debut was greatly received and seemed to fill a gap in the soul underground, so 5 years is a long time for a follow up LP but as the saying goes good things come to those that wait. The production & song writing team that is Silhouette Brown consists of Bembe Segue,Kaidi Tatham and Dego.This time around they are joined by a new vocalist the unmistakable sound of Philadelphia’s Lady Alma.
Lady Alma has appeared on countless club classics over the years from Sylk 130’s ‘When the Funk Hits the Fan’ to Soul Dahmma’s ‘Happy’ and 4hero’s ‘Hold it Down’.
‘Two’ moves Silhouette Brown into a relaxed head nod soul experience with some songs leaning towards a hip hop sound.An obvious example of that is ‘Get With It’ which features a guest performance from Brand Nubian’s Sadat X on a song about uniting and progression.Many subjects are sung about on ‘two’ such as suicide on ‘Leave A Note’ etc. All this whilst Dego and Kaidi push a warm sumptuous melody driven groove in a way that they only know how.Also check out the guest appearance of the M.D Akwasi on ‘Strawberries in Vinegar’ an instant boogie anthem.
