Editorial Reviews

In addition to showcasing a love for 1960s and 1970s soul,Shawn Lee also steers his latest musical mystery tour intopsychedelic and cinematic territory over the course of 12brand new cuts. Sing a Song is a summertime listen, packedwith catchy motor city licks and space age songs. Featuringvocalists from as far afield as Kansas City, Los Angeles,London, Detroit and New York, Sing a Song includescollaborations with Princess Superstar, artist Paul Fryer,and blind street performer Robert Bradley.Shawn Lee and his Ping Pong Orchestra will be in the USA this Fall toplay their first ever gigs, including a stop at Bumbershoot festival inSeattle... hold tight for more gigs.Lee kicks the album off with a duet featuring Orgone chanteuse FannyFranklin, and their vocals lace an epic string-laden instrumental with acautionary tale for fakers and flakes. Surprised to learn that MarcusMalone was a mature guy with a young voice (and not vice versa) Lee wasinspired to write a bouncy Motown-fueled jam for the Detroit native. Makinga brief appearance on ''Who Are You,'' Bing Ji Ling is originally from SanFrancisco but now resides in Brooklyn, NY recording as a solo artist andmember of The Phenomenal Handclap Band. Despite having just beendischarged from hospital (for an emergency appendix operation) andhaving a baby daughter born less than three weeks prior Lee managed torecord Jeremiah while he was on a quick trip through London. Lord Largeis Andrew J Jones and Stephen Large, ''a man who plays keyboards likea frickin' wizard!'' says Lee. ''Fading Light'' features Robert Bradley on leadvocals. A blind street performer and songwriter from Detroit, Bradley sangand appeared in the movie Lackawanna Blues and the musicdocumentary ''Playing for Change''.Lee appears solo on ''I'll Just Wait a While'' which starts out as a bluesystripped-down song before morphing into space-age pop. It complementsthe tracks featuring The Superimposers, a two man London groupcompr

This review is from: Sing a Song (Audio CD)

In the same vein as Soul In The Hole, Shawn Lee and guests put together another excellent soul album that encompasses the best of old school touches while remaining current. These are by far the best Shawn Lee projects to date.
