Jimi Tenor delivers another 7″ on Philophon. This time he teamed up with the two glorious gospel queens Florence Adooni and Lizzy Amaliyenga from Bolgatanga/Northern Ghana. This release is a first insight into the next album by Jimi on Philophon, which will be released later the year.
‘Vocalize My Luv’ is a charmingly presented lure for love. The secret of the song is that drummer Ekow Alabi Savage’s upfront high-life beat is triggering a Jimi-operated Korg MS-20 bass synth. Man and machine are melting down into a light and sportive groove, which irresistibly invites you to do some frisky aerobic moves on the 3am dancefloor. The flipside ‘Ki’igba’ is a classic Frafra gospel song by Alogte Oho, completed with some jubilating flute by master Jimi.
