Always Get Away (Astral22 Extended Mix) – LeNora Jaye

Posted by admin July 4, 2011

Watch Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJCuCi9Pstc

Digital Worldwide Release

“Sweet, sassy, confrontational, intimate, doubtful, nervous, SEXY and playful… My favourite cut from LeNora Jaye’s “The Story”, the glorious house jam, “Always Get Away.” – Paul Cutting- DJ/Tastemaker/Reviewer – www.soulcuts.org

“PHENOMENAL artist … LeNora’s sound is definitely reminiscent of the days when Rufus w/ Chaka & Patrice Rushen were pushing out the soulful sounds” – DJ Shhh -DJ/Host (The S.T.O.R.M.) – www.blogtalkradio.com/storm2010

“One of the most ANTICIPATED in the past year … A great new soul singer with a fantastic soulful voice and great vocal range.” – Lawrence Prangell – www.soulbrother.com

“111 East Radio Network LOVES LeNora Jaye’s music !!!” – Baron Harris – CEO – (BLG Music Group USA) -www.blgmusicgroup.com

“Soulful and Sensitive …” DJ Soulswede www.soulinterviews.com

“Modern Black Music … Real Soul for Real People” – Jörg Michael Schmitt (Radio Host/Reviewer) – www.sonicsoulreviews.com

“Superb … Contemporary … definitely one of my Highlights”! – Mark Coddington – www.firstexperiencerecords.com

Elegant…playful….soulful…mischievous…lyrically intriguing all describe this scintillating foray into soulful house music. LeNora Jaye takes a walk on the dark side here, while Astral22 brings the soul & funk with a hard-hitting bassline groove, riding the 124BPM with fervor. Together LeNora Jaye & Astral22 create a striking & unforgettable movement with this soulful house vocal offering.

LeNora says:  ‘Always Get Away’ is unique for her, mostly known for tender & insightful love songs, this song presents another side – and a departure from the norm in its concept. It has a duality in which she offers sweet, deceptively sensual, teasing vocals with a hint of power & vocal prowess that invites the listener into a dark story of seduction and perhaps even danger? This delicious slice of soulful house continues to take listeners by suprise with its strident rhythms, intense groove and thought-provoking, controversial lyricism.

Digital Worldwide Release – Available Now

Bashiyra and producer Astral22 team up for the first time on “It’s Working Out”.

Bashiyra says: ‘It’s Working Out’ is a special gem, autobiographical in its concept. It offers the listener as well as myself; INSPIRATION, GRATITUDE and continued DETERMINATION to EVOLVE as INDIVIDUALS in GRACE, PASSION and CREATIVITY that is deliciously limitless and boundless”.

Astral22 sees this collaboration as having a modern Motown feeling, a daily AFFIRMATION, that has a message of exercising faith and holding onto the feeling that everything IS working out! Bashiyra’s perfectly crafted melody, lyrics and delivery evoke an era of London Soul that is ripe for return.

Following in the footsteps of eclectic soul producers such as 4Hero, Eric Lau, and even the great Quincy Jones, Los Angeles’ Astral22 aka Armand Tulumello has brought together a talented assortment of vocalists and created his own unique vision of soul. The resulting album, Imperial, is a majestic feat in progressive soul featuring moments of sheer brilliance and more than a few breakout performances from the cast of rising stars.

With a handpicked selection of artists that includes La Sonya Gunter, Rogiers, and Stephanie Renee to name just a few, Astral22 paints a tapestry that embraces traditional soul, future soul, and spoken word in equal doses. The production throughout the album mostly remains in the downtempo grown and sexy vein but stretches into broken beat on the “Ism” rework featuring Heidi Martin and the equally gorgeous “Silent Prayer” with vocals by LeNora Jaye. La Sonya Gunter delivers an outstanding vocal performance on “Ready For Love”, her style gelling perfectly with Astral 22’s casual yet impeccable production. It all comes together on the brilliant “From Me To You”, a funky little future soul number featuring Shanell Rene’e that will recall the stylings of Eric Lau. Produced with precision and skill and with an instantly catchy hook, the track remains the album’s highpoint.

Coming strong out of the gate, Astral22 is sure to be an in demand producer on the soul circuit. If this first collection of progressive soul is any indicator, Imperial marks the debut of an impressive new talent.
