Mark de Clive-Lowe - Renegades - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2011 album from the producer, writer, arranger, DJ, remixer and performer. Though many know him for his production work and his collaborative assignments (he's worked with people like Jill Scott and Leon Ware amongst many), he's also recorded eight of his own albums.... and this new 14 tracker makes it nine. Renegades reflects his multi-faceted approach to his music; here there's Soul, funk, Tech-Afrobeat and hints of Latin too. To help him fill out his ideas he's brought in some top names. Percussion is handled by Sheila E, Pino Palladino is the bassist while Miguel Atwood-Ferguson is the string contractor. There's also a varied cast of vocalists Nia Andrews, Tawiah, Sandra Nkale and Omar.
