The band that pushed the EDM Jazz is back with a new album in tow. Check it out
SEXY, SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS AND COOL: Us3 RETURNS WITH FIRST SAMPLE-FREE RELEASE APRIL 26
Us3, the brainchild of London-based Geoff Wilkinson is gearing up to release its first US album in 7 years, Questions. Us3's 2001 title An Ordinary Day In An Unusual Place was only available as an import stateside.
The group first made its way into mainstream consciousness with its clever sampling of Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island" track. The infectious rhythm and club meets café coolness of "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" catapulted the band's debut album on the Blue Note label Hand On The Torch to multi-million sales status around the world, giving Blue Note its first US platinum disc ever.
In addition to his stellar production, arranging and musical skills, Geoff has an incredible ear for vocal talent and new additions to the Us3 family Mpho and Reggi Wyns are sure to please.
Mpho is a vocalist and songwriter from South Africa who has collaborated with a wide variety of artists including the legendary South African singer Miriam Makeba, jazz pianist Bheki Mseleku, British urban sensation Ms.Dynamite, and West London broken beat collective Bugz In The Attic. Mpho's subtle tones express phenomenal diversity, from hip-hop and funk to jazz and folk, while her writing offers commentary on issues ranging from global and social to personal.
Reggi Wyns was born and bred in Brooklyn, New York and is a multifaceted artist. His recording credits include two independent albums with highly acclaimed New York rap crew LIB. Reggi is also an accomplished actor. His credits include a co-starring role in Fox Searchlight's 2002 film Brown Sugar, the 2001 Miramax film Serendipity, and a guest appearance on NBC'sLaw And Order: SVU.
Questions is Us3's first sample free release because, says Geoff, "It's important to keep evolving. There's been a decreasing reliance on samples with each Us3 album, and Questions is the culmination of that. And it was kinda nice working with some live musicians rather than dead ones!"
The album features two new versions of Cantaloop; Cantaloop 2004 (bossa mix) and Cantaloop 2004 (soul mix). An excellent animated video for the soul mix is available for viewing at www.us3.com. Questions is scheduled for an April 26 release via Megaforce/Ryko distribution with possible late spring US tour dates to follow.
