jc brooks & the uptown sound - beat of our own drum - vampisoul - vinyl

New Copy

Genre: Funk / Soul

The long-awaited debut album by Chicago's JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound. Described by The New York Times as "neo-soul glory", their sound is an explosive mix of 60s soul passion, the energy of 70s punk and the eclectic spirit of contemporary music.

Brooks knocks out his audience with heart and raw emotion, while the Uptown Sound's post-punk attack updates the MG's and JB's groove model, resulting in pure and unrelenting soul music that ranges from sweaty on-the-one workouts, dance-punk booty shakers, garage-rock thump humps and aching R&B ballads without a missed step in between.

Tracklisting: 1 - THE BEAT (OF OUR OWN DRUM) 2 - LOVE ONE ANOTHER 3 - BALTIMORE IS THE NEW BROOKLYN 4 - BERRY PLEASE 5 - HOW TO STOP LOVING SOMEONE WHO'S STOPPED LOVING YOU 6 - ALRIGHT 7 - 75 YEARS OF ART SEX 8 - HOLD YOU BACK 9 - HE DOES THE TOWN 10 - HERE COMES THE FALL
