Lush RnB and Soul has without doubt returned to the UK gospel mainstream for 2010... Here at UKGospel.com we're particularly proud to introduce one of the artists showing exactly how excellent that sound can be...
Leeds-based Joel O’Neil Alastair Brown, one of the UK underground’s most exciting newcomers, releases a 2010 highlight: his debut, 'Satisfaction Guarant'd'.
London based hiphop artist and writer - get Updates!
Artist: Joel Brown
Album Title: Satisfaction Guarant'd
Release date: 12 July 2010
In an era dominated by computer-generated beats and
'AutoTune' overkill, here comes a project that
re-introduces the sound of home-grown, hand-picked,
freshly squeezed soul music.
Joel O’Neil Alastair Brown, one of the UK underground’s
most exciting newcomers, releases his highly anticipated
debut, 'Satisfaction Guarant'd'.
The five-track EP (produced by Marho Ovie-Bateren)
promises a few special surprises and something for
everyone.
Five tracks might not sound like a lot, but this EP really proves that good things come in small (digitally downloadable) packages.
Guaranteed teaser
With this project, Joel aims to make it known that true and lasting satisfaction is only guaranteed through a purposeful and intimate relationship with God. The intro track is a teaser of what is to come when Joel's full album is released later in the year.
The second track, 'Wait on the Lord', is a re-working of a familiar hymn. This is where old school meets new school, with guest rapper Sayo ‘Mighty’ Martin throwing down a hard-hitting eight bars of heat. It has already become a radio favourite, going into immediate rotation on Premier Gospel and Urban Gospel Network.
Such is the strength of the tune that more playlist additions will no doubt follow soon.
'Can't Help But Praise You' is an amazingly feel-good track featuring an instrumental piano solo from producer extraordinaire Marho Ovie-Bateren. The fourth track, 'Born to Worship', is a reflective, introspective song that challenges the listener to consider the purpose of their existence.
And finally, we have a stripped-back, heartfelt song of intimacy between man and his Creator, simply titled 'Speak a Word'.
Satisfaction Guarant'd will be available for digital download and CD online from Joel's website, and stores such as iTunes and Amazon MP3.
I live in London, from where I spend much
of my time writing for magazines, websites and anything else that comes along, as well as making radio programmes.
