We love a bit of 'Loyalty' here at YATM so when we got the nod that Greg Blackman is featuring on a release by Goshawk that also features Dutch artist Lyma called 'Loyalty', our eagle eyes/ears were ready to focus on our prey.
LYMA (aka Lyma aka Tjerk Lammers) is an Amsterdam based producer/singer/songwriter and mate of Lumberjacks In Hell's founder Marcel Vogel so he fits in perfectly with this soul-disco-house track by Goshawk (aka Matt Rivem) that's sounds reminiscent of Jamiroquai/Loverbirds productions with Stee Downes so that sounds like a winner to me.
The Jamiroqua comparision is even sharper on with the two versions of Goshawk's '1 Up, 1 Down' being the original that bounces with some nice synth lazer beams and funky bass with a glitchy Lyma remix [warning for a bit of potty mouth at the start].
Greg Blackman (as in 'Over Again - see review HERE and 'Wait To The Morning' - see review HERE) is a [rock]star here on the 'Ain't Gonna' that's a heavy handed piano banger soul vocal skat that's similar to Omar at his best - there's some great wobbly keys too.
Lumberjack's In Hell have released tracks over the years by some of our other favourites (including Rahaan, Inkswell who have both had recent releases along with Soulphiction (RIP), Prequel and Lay-far to name just a few) so the more open minded Amsterdam ADE people will be playing these tracks; even though Lumberjacks In Hell sound like they should be at a Grunge flannel shirt convention in Canada, these guys axes are sharp for any dancefloor.
P.S. Mr Vogel, "impressed by @petefowler artwork!!!"
