Adé - Reach Out Your Love 1993

Profile Records PROFCD 402

A promo CD release that got a blinding review from Steve Hobbs in Blues & Soul magazine. His word was gospel as far as I was concerned and therefore, I was very pleased to find a copy. No packaging at all though so I've found some art which seems to suggest that it got an official release.

Engineered by Mike Bigwood at Eden Studios, this is Reach Out Your Love, written by A. Adefolalu (my money's on the artist) and performed by Adé, a man gifted with a voice that most can only wish for. It's criminal to find that he's only recorded a few songs of his own and none of them have recieved any exposure at all. Even more surprising is the news that he is probably more widely known for his vocal contribution on a couple of Shut Up & Dance album tracks?

A couple of good versions on here but forget the house mixes, the R&B 'Touch Da Soul' Mix is the only one you need really. The Adécapella is a joy to hear though?

Keni Stevens - Living On The Edge 1989

Debut Records dblp 505


Not to keen on te title track but its not a bad album. Better production than the 'Blue Moods' album despite the lack of names involved. Sheila Ferguson gets a shout out and Mike Stevens is, I believe, Keni's brother but I'm not sure whether I read that or we talked about it back in the day. Those credits are soooo, so tiny?

I have mistakenly entered 1987 for the year of release in the rar files, sorry?
