Eric Hilton has been half of the seminal Theivery Corporation for decades and now is with singers Natalia Clavier and Puma Ptah on the new release on the Montserrat House label; what'dya mean, 'Je ne t’aime plus'?
We know Eric boarders on the trip-hoppy jazz side, check out 'Corazón Kintsugi' that also features the dreamy vocals of Argentinian singer-songwriter Natalia Clabier (see review HERE) so it's no surprise that je/tu/nous/vouse aime plus.
Moving away form the les parapluies de Cherbourg in the 60s, 'Leave It All' taps into Massive Atttack's Bristol without umbrellas but with a big groovy bassline that is tops my Mr. Ptah's soulful vocals.
Both single are taken from a forthcoming album called 'Midnight Ragas' so sitars at the ready?
And don't forget Eric's excellent album from last year, 'Sound Vagabond' (see review HERE) and I feel contractually obliged to mention that Hilton (as Theivery Corp.) was so influencial (as masters of the trip/dub/downtempo/future jazz genre and check their many remixes including our favourites Rockers HiFi).
