It's not that often a DJ is so impressed with a debut album release that he plays all seven tracks! That's what's happened with The Mighty Tiny & The Many Few's 'Be The Good People' on And&.
Drenched in soul-jazz R&B and crafted with vintage techniques it's got a feel of Emilia Sisco's debut just out on Timmion Records (see review HERE) but for a 60s - 90/00 soul vibe; particulary 'Young World' and 'Life Called River'.
"Walshy Fire (Major Lazer) bridges cross-continental connections in collaboration with Grammy-winning composer and writer Randy Valentine, a South London-based artist hailing from Clarendon, Jamaica. Joining them is Copenhagen-based improvisational jazz visionary Steven Jess Borth II, aka CHLLNGR (I Am An Instrument) along with the crème de la crème of Danish jazz talent, including Morten McCoy, Jonathan Bremer, Rumpistol, Mikkel Hess, and more.
For over two decades, Randy Valentine has cultivated a distinctive voice in music, and his latest work with the concept band The Mighty Tiny and the Many Few brings this artistry to life in a fresh, vibrant way. Brought together by Steven Jess Borth II and Walshy Fire, the band unites over 15 musicians from three continents, celebrating collaboration and shared joy. Alongside Ånd&, the team has crafted a musical masterpiece that resonates with a global perspective and a collective spirit of creative expression.
'Be The Good People' is both a statement and a declaration of revolutionary love - a bold call to action. This seven-track album blends soul-drenched, horn-driven, and timeless instrumentation with forward-thinking, insightful lyrics inspired by life’s triumphs and challenges. The result is a powerful musical journey, promising to be a rewarding ride for every anchoring ear."
