MF Robots "Music for Robots" CD
Jan Kincaid, former leader of the Brand New Heavies and a man who knows everything about acid jazz, has formed a new unit called "MF Robots" with Dawn Joseph, the singer who was the main vocalist of the Heavies, and has released their debut album!
The acid jazz feel that surpasses the kings, the Brand New Heavies, is simply the best! The acid jazz movement, which began with the Brand New Heavies, has produced world-famous bands and units such as Jamiroquai, Incognito, and Galliano. This year, 2017, Jamiroquai's new album "Automaton" will be released, and in recent years, Suchmos has been making a big splash with his acid jazz-infused sound, making acid jazz attracting a lot of attention again. Jan Kincaid, former central figure of the Brand New Heavies, the most important band in the movement, has teamed up with Dawn Joseph, a female singer who led the Heavies' golden age, to form the monster unit "MF Robots," which has finally arrived in Japan!
Starting with the dynamic and danceable "Watcha Sayin'" that is directly connected to the Brand New Heavies, the album is packed with all the charm and joy of acid jazz, such as the disco boogie tune "The Night Is Calling" with its flashy horns, and "Come On With The Good Thing" that digests soul and funk from the 70s and 80s. It is full of highly refined soulful sounds that show off their further evolution! It is a perfect album that is worthy of a spectacular debut of MF Robots!
