TRACKLIST
01) (04:23) The Road
02) (03:54) Benedicts Boogaloo
Frootful return with a fantastic two track 45 taken from Heavyweight - the follow up
to their eclectic 2011 debut long player 'Colours' (a former Jazz FM Album Of The
Week).
The Road features UK soul vocalist Mazen Bedwei, who first featured on a Freestyle
release when singing on Nick Van Gelder's 'Something's Gotta Give' on the compilation
'Sounds From The Soul Underground'.
The Road is a bright, breezy and uplifting soul groove, that has something of a late
60s feel, where shimmering horns underpin Mazen's Curtis Mayfield inspired vocals and
Frootful main man Nick Radford's tasteful guitar picking locks down this sweet summer
sound.
On the flip, the mood is altogether more greasy; Benedicts Boogaloo is a gritty
soul-jazz work out that's been double dipped in the funk. Nick gets the chance to
display his guitar chops wonderfully, the bubbling bass line is unrelenting whilst a
dirty, distorted organ grooves out to a stunning climax!
This is a mere a taster of what is to come from the new album, Heavyweight, this 45
giving just a hint of the musical delights contained within.
