Description:

The French Quantic! Brandt, a brilliant French producer who crosses jazz, funk, and world music with a post-hip-hop sensibility, has collaborated with various artists on this new album, the best work of his career! The two tracks with Leonardo Marques, a genius from Minas, Brazil, are especially killer! It has been about 10 years since "Bad Bad Things (2010)" was acclaimed by Giles Peterson and others.The sequel album "Good Good Things" is finally completed! The album starts with "Menina Mulher da Pele Preta," a psychedelic samba composed by Jorge Ben and sung by SSW Leonardo Marques of Minas, Brazil, followed by the mellow "Feel The Cold," a slow-tempo one-drop intertwined with the voice of Indi Zara, a female SSW. The instrumental funk of "Sunday In The Club" intertwines an elegant arrangement reminiscent of Velocay with an oriental melody and a dope European soundtrack/library beat; "Son Montuno," reminiscent of a "fake Cuban band" by Mark Lebow. Pais Azucar", "Tengo Fe" with Chico Mann of Antibalas, and "Atlas Desse Ceu", a dreamy tune that once again features Leonardo Marquez.Brandet has freely traversed dance music such as jazz, funk, and reggae with a post-quantic hip-hop sensibility, but this album, with new collaborators such as Leonardo Marquez, has a more Latin American flavor, further expanding his worldview. The album is exotic and tropical, like a trip around the world from the comfort of your own home, but with the saudade feeling of watching the sunset on the beach.... It is a work that can be danced to or listened to in a relaxed atmosphere. The artwork by Amsterdam-based artist Mosie Giant is also truly amazing!The Cure keyboardist Roger O'Donnell's collaboration with Jennifer Pegg of Vita & the Wolf! The project originally began as a solo instrumental record featuring two cellos on the A-side and a string quartet on the B-side. Roger was so impressed with the demo that Jennifer Pegg added her vocals to it that he entrusted her with the lyrics for this collaborative album, featuring her as the featured vocalist.
