Fact #147995

I was initially suspicious when I read that Sicilian MC, vocalist and producer Davide Shorty had assembled this clumsily-named band inspired by "a vision to bring back the love". Fortunately, what sounds on paper like a blissed-out Jamiroquai Meets Barry White fudge, turns out to be a lush, laid-back psychedelic soul combo flavoured with generous dollops of reggae dub sonics and rap. Most of the tracks float along on airy summer grooves that Pharrell Williams would be proud to achieve, with soaring vocals, occasional bursts of coolly Hendrixian funk guitar and a consistently free-flowing rhythmic sensibility. Too much of a good thing, maybe, but I love it.
