From South Africa. Mothers in a community-based health/nutrition organization formed a choir and recorded music with a message. Here those “PSA songs” are reworked with help from some major stars (such as Miram Makeba) and remixed into a hip, urban sound w/wicked dance grooves and a fresh and feisty feel. Lots of production with the underlying Mothers’ choir swimming through the mix. So cool! *1. Mid/upbeat dance groove w/a slick, catchy sound. 2. A capella intro to driving, brassy, mid/up jam w/a hint of funk. *3. Fast dancefloor invitation w/soaring fem vox/claps/crowd noise. 4. Cool, upbeat perc, wiggly morphed choir sound, a solid urban sound. 5. Upbeat percussion, choir gradually getting more prominent. *6. Thrumming bass, male hip-hop-esque vox. 7. Midtempo w/a dark, almost hypnotic lyricism. 8. Midtempo reggae sound backing the chorus. Relaxed. 9. Spacey midtempo w/a chill vibe. 10. Downtempo, jazzy and hip. | ||
