Description

The Mighty Soulmates is a towering early 90s project from the legitimate super-group of Andr Cymone (artist, writer, producer and original bass player with the Artist known as Prince), St. Paul Peterson (keyboard player in The Time and lead singer in Princes group The Family), Mic Murphy (of Sass and The System fame) and Gardner Cole (writer, producer and musician probably best known for his work with Madonna). The sound is a majestic blend of sophisticated funk, emotional R&B, New Jack Swing flava and slick deep soul.These should-be-legendary sessions have been almost a secret since they were recorded back in 1993. The first Be With knew about the project was whilst working with Mic on some Sass re-issues and he told us he had something else we might be interested in hearing. Weve cherry picked the absolute cream for this tight four track EP. A mixture of beat ballads and uptempo non-hits, coming on like Al B Sure! or Babyface take on Shalamar or, dare we say it, The Purple One – maybe not so surprising given whos playing! The Mighty Soulmates EP has been mastered for vinyl by Simon Francis, cut by Pete Norman at Finyl Tweek and pressed at Record Industry. That early 90s gloss sounds spectacular, if we do say so ourselves.
