Worldwide Groove Corporation: Chillodesiac Lounge Vol 1: Fever So the best downtempo music for [June] 2007 comes from ... wait for it ... Nashville! Is that wacked or what? I've spent time in Nashville. And I love it. But when I think of the Nashville music scene, chillout is not what comes to mind. But that is exactly what Ellen Tift and Kurt Goebel [aka: Worldwide Groove Corporation] offer on their first independent musical endeavor, Chillodesiac Lounge Vol. 1: Fever. Some might say they are misplaced in the Music City, but this music production team has recently emerged as one of the main attractions for downtempo in town. Both members have hired out their skills at music production, programming, and arranging to others in the industry for years, but they have finally taken initiative to do something for themselves. It may be the first date for Worldwide Groove Corporation, but I think they might get some. Chillodesiac Lounge Vol. 1: Fever is a very snesual and swank chillout project featuring ageless jazz standards completely reinvented. Who's bringing sexy back? Watch out JT. You have competition! On Fever, soft, smooth, sultry vocals combine with layered drum grooves, ambient textures, and electronica flavors to produce a wonderfully sensual experience that will nicely compliment any Martini or intimate encounter. The album basks in the strength of standards like "Tangerine , The Man I Love , My Funny Valentine , and of course the title track "Fever." But it's all new takes on the old themes. The vocals have been re-recorded and re-interpreted and feature the likes of Melinda Doolittle [American Idol], Jennifer Paige [ Crush - uncredited due to contractual restraints], and Fleming McWilliams of Fleming & John [formerly on Capital Records]. Everything combines to make Chillodesiac Lounge Vol 1: Fever easily approachable and enjoyable the first time you listen to it, but what really makes this project hot is that it doesn't get boring upon repeated exposure. The production is smart, sophisticated and subtle. Every time I listen, I hear something new. Worldwide Groove Corporation will be playing on SoundRadius and my MP3 player for a long time. It should be on yours too. Check out Fever here: www.chillodesiaclounge.com --SOUNDRADIUS Radio

Product Description
Worldwide Groove Corporation s first independent musical endeavor has taken the shape of a downtempo chillout project featuring ageless jazz standards completely reconstructed into a collection of modern electrolounge styles. This project combines sultry drum grooves, ambient textures, and electronica flavors with a remix approach to the smooth vocal performances. Songs feature guest vocalists like Melinda Doolittle of American Idol, and the entire album contains five different languages. The track Tangerine showcases the wonderfully quirky voice of former Universal Records artist Fleming McWilliams of Fleming & John over a pseudo bossa rhythm and fun vintage organ samples. Other songs like The Man I Love and My Funny Valentine , and the title track "Fever" which includes a French rap verse, take on a more sexy mid-tempo groove, giving the listener the feeling that they re either sipping a martini after hours in a vibey NY club, or are about to get lucky.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, March 2, 2009

By	T. Courtney (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had this Cd for a couple years now, and we love it. It's perfect to play when entertaining friends out on the lanai with cocktails. I found it after we stayed at the Mansion on Forsythe in Savannah and bought the CD they were offering in the room. I came home and started searching for music by the artists on that CD and found this one. It's defintely 'loungey', something you'd heard in a swanky NY club. I definitely recommend it....everyone who hears it LOVES it!

5.0 out of 5 stars NYC purchase, March 1, 2009

By	Terry "music lover" (Naples) - See all my reviews

While in NYC perusing the cd selection at Bergdorf's, I had the lucky chance of listening to this album and fell in love with it. I cannot believe how fabulous it is. What's interesting is everyone I've played it for loves it too - even my father!!! Hot, Sensual, relaxing and interesting. It's the perfect album to play with my husband and during one of our parties for our sophisticated friends.
