I won't waste any time covering who Don-E is or what he means to me or the wider UK soul scene as that good stuff can all be found on previous write-ups by myself or Mick elsewhere on this blog.
Peace In The World is a beautiful, summery track and there isn't a bad version here.
The Urban Mix and Badboy Submix are my favourites, although if pushed, I'd probably go for the slightly more basic Badboy Submix. It's largely, vocals, beats and bassline, with minimal extra instrumentation, and song song really shines through (and that b-line is kinda nice, you know).
Again, Don-E is still active as an artist, both as part of the British Collective (please search out their album on Amazon or somewhere to support them) and go check out his personal BandCamp page. https://don-e1.bandcamp.com/ which has some heavy releases on there.

ReplyDeleteHe needed greater representation on here. A true UK legend and is still pumping out great music.
Deletegreat british soul voice that i always felt got over looked by omar. I liked omar, but there was just something more i liked about don-e's voice.
ReplyDeleteOmar is brilliant and one of my all time favourite artists but you are right, perhaps he is the more recognised of the UK soul legends.
DeleteDon-E is special and his music is never far from my stereo.
We are so bad at recognising our own in this country.
