I love all about funk, disco, reggae, soulful, languid singing and ruff recitatives. In my mind Brazilian bongos and African toms knocking, Spanish guitar aching, nerves pulsating bass lines, roaring trumpet, weave intricate lace key piano, slapping rhythm. The most interesting process - fixing all of this in the tracks. There is Something Magic in it.
In terms of writing tracks I ready to work with singers of either sex, whose voice and manner of performance close to the African-American.
