Prema distributed by Soul Brother Records
Soul Brother records in conjunction with MoreReverb.com are now selling physical copies of ‘in Fusion’ via their much respected store in London and online. They featured Prema in their catalogue giving the album a prominent position as well as a superb review.
Malaysian singer Prema has a sweet soulful voice not dissimilar to Corrine Bailey Rae in places. This well produced album was recorded in NY with legendary musicians like Wah Wah Watson Peter Erskine etc providing the musical backdrop. ‘Underwater’ is a good groover and the more up tempo 'Miracle' is outstanding with a semi funky groove. The mid tempo 'Mandalay' and 'So Right' slower 'Destiny' and 'Angel' have a really nice feel. ‘Mystical Rhythm (Oye Como Va) is an interesting take on the Tito Puente classic. Nice album, a bit different from much of today’s music.
Prema is now also receiving regular airplay on Solar Radio (on the Soul Brothers Show), which is the UK’s top radio station for Jazz/Soul/Funk. Visit www.solarradio.com
