Bold Parade – Never Give Up, Never Give In EP [Suzume Recordings]

Following the success of his debut album, ‘Two Leaves Falling,’ released in 2023, the talented multi-instrumentalist Bold Parade, aka Paul McMahon, is well known for his quality blend of Soul, Funk, Latin, and Jazz. To keep the vibes warm this Autumn, Paul returns with the help of his regular vocal cohorts, Yanmife Ajolore and Marti Buchanan and newly discovered talent, Imole Ayo, with a stunning new EP titled ‘Never Give Up, Never Give In’. The EP’s title track is a laid-back, groovy piano-led piece underpinned by a warm bassline and Yanmife’s positive message. Turning on the Afro Boogie vibe is  ‘Rise Up’ – a danceable feast complete with infectious brass hooks and an empowering vocal performance from Imole. Continuing the upbeat energy, ‘Uplift’ presents a delightful retro jazz experience, where vibrant trumpets, flutes, organ, and piano melodies intertwine with infectious beats. The sensual ‘Uplift’ offers a smooth, chilled soundtrack wrapped in Marti’s alluring tones. Rounding out this elegant collection, Members Of The Lifestyle contribute a stunning sun-soaked Latin reimagining of ‘Never Give Up, Never Give In,’ brimming with layers of beautiful melodies and lush percussive beats.
