SOULCULTURE.CO.UK PRESENTS:
AALIYAH REVISITED TRIBUTE EP
Eight years to the day after the tragic passing of Aaliyah Dana Haughton, the original princess of R&B, ten of today’s progressively soulful artists have recorded interpretations of their favourite Aaliyah songs for Aaliyah Revisited - a 2009 tribute EP internationally curated by urban-music-and-culture online magazine SoulCulture.
Available immediately as a free download package, Aaliyah Revisited contains eight songs featuring indie soul artist and occasional Brand New Heavies vocalist Sy Smith (currently providing backing vocals for American Idol), Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Marsha Ambrosius, rising London soul talents Tawiah and Baby Sol, NYC-based beauty creator Jesse Boykins III, Danish R&B/Soul sensation Jonas, saccharine Basement Jaxx vocalist Vula, London-based producer Black Einstein, plus international future starlet Nikko Gray with California’s ‘cosmic conductor’ AFTA-1.
On an unseasonably scorching summers day in London, KRS One aka The Blastmaster aka The Teacha, lecturer, author and Hip-Hop legend bounds onto the Jazz Café stage for the first of a two night stand [July 23-24], with all the enthusiasm of a kid running out of the school gates on a Friday afternoon. For the next hour and a half he proceeds to give a master class in how to rock a crowd, command the stage and deliver an authentic, all the way live show - fluffed freestyles and all.
