Bold Parade feat. Janessa J – “Core” EP [Suzume Recordings]

After the success of his gorgeous album, “Two Leaves Falling“, Bold Parade, aka Paul McMahon, continues to charm us with his meaningful songs and Soul, Funk, and Latin soundtracks with his excellent new EP, ‘Core’. Opening with a divine Afro Disco vibe, ‘Foundation’ is an addictive smoking groove laced with upbeat brass hooks, funky guitars and drizzled with a catchy positive vocal from Africa’s Yanmife Ajolore. ‘Proxy 17’ is a snazzy Latin Jazz outing, where sublime vibes and trumpet solos from Antonie Veskovski and Jesse Ibidun glide over a backdrop of upbeat keys and percussive drums. The EP title track, “Core”, opens with a profoundly emotive piano intro before jumping into a brassy Trip Hop style affair, baited with an alluringly seductive vocal by Janessa J. Closing out the package, Marti Buchanan lends her stunning ethereal vocal tones to the classy retro-tinged downtempo excursion, ‘The Promise’.
