About this product
Forgive Yourself. Learn to live with yourself. Don't hurt yourself.That's the mantra of Venus Smiles Not in the House of Tears, a deeply relatable exploration of mental health through the paces of a failing relationship. The tale is spun through inner and outer worlds, reminding us how love can't exist if we don't first confront ourselves.This is the 3rd studio album released by Samora who has gained an unmatched reputation amongst artists and those in the know as a truth seeker and truth speaker. While much of Samora's work is centered in speaking truth to power, Venus seeks a different truth, an internal one, that we all can see in ourselves if we look close enough. Samora has gained accolades and notoriety in Jazz and R&B spaces and though they are both present in this album, he and longtime producer Jack DeBoe set a goal of making music outside of genre. Instead the focus is set on beauty, detail, emotionality, movement, tenderness, rhythm, and connection. The album is a masterclass on the craft of writing lyrics, each word carefully chosen and woven together. Every song has a life of it's own, as the album has evolved over 8 years of writing, rewriting, recording, re-recording, reflecting, and reckoning. The difficult, but necessary process to make an album that transmits the artist's internal experience, through the prism of song. As with all of Samora's music, Venus deserves an intentional and openhearted listen, and if you allow it, you may find your own self through the journey of Venus. Album Tracks 1. Better 2. Inertia 3. Gatsby 4. Hands 5. Slow Time 6. Versus 7. Storm 8. Drown 9. Erased 10. Wcid 11. Forgive Yourself

Vinyl LP pressing. Bonded over the struggles of the pandemic and a mutual love for Motown, Soul and Afrobeat, Denmark's renowned outlet for jazz, April Records, proudly presents 'Moko Jumbie', the debut by it's latest outfit A Plane To Catch. Exploring the rich exchange between West African musical traditions and Western funk and soul, this is music meant for dancing, transporting the listener to dance floors both real and imagined. Featuring warm, raw production the record creates a real sense of energy and intimacy, as if the listener is in a dark club with an electric jam band. Through the eight compositions the quintet joyfully navigates familiar harmonic clichés from 70's soul tunes, a variety of infectious toe-tapping grooves, playful improvisations and melodic duo horn arranging. Explorations of darker tonalites popularised by Ethio-Jazz legend Mulatu Astatke provide a welcome departure through harmonic contrast and propulsive polyrhythmic groove. Album Tracks 1. Shoot 2. Almost There 3. Tommy Trouble 4. Ethiopiques 5. Lingon Grove 6. Douche Boy 7. Shake Your B 8. Moko Jumbie
