Blue King Brown 'Worldwize pt1'

Blue King Brown ‘Worldwize part1’
A radio friendly intro kicks off ‘Northside’ (14 vocal cuts) …then.. “Say Peace” the first ‘full’ track enters the arena in absolute fine style , a high Power tower skanking melodic cut which straight away signals what Is truly a quality album being offered here. A multi genre tour de force!
Next tune featuring guest artist Voodoo Dred takes the vibe down a different street whilst your still recovering from the superb “Say Peace” you’re treated to the electro street sounds style “Hammer” complete with a cool rap and pounding riddim track this tune is made for TV music channel broadcast , it’s a winner commercial style. “Womens Revolution” by special guest Queen Ifrica with Blue King Brown is Jamaica! It’s written all over it and as you’d expect with the Queen the vocal is ‘The Sound Of Now’ and it hit’s ya with positive vibes everytime one listens with a wonderful end section to the tune featuring a really cool piano solo and we’re only three songs in and one feels like they’ve been on a musical roller coaster for 10 minutes that just keeps on rollin! But hold on…
there are multi tempos and varied vibes on this album -slow tempo -acoustic style and digital dub/funk tinged tunes all with first class vocals, real live sound drums ,effects just where you’d like to hear them ,we have violins ,pianos... What’s being offered here is a tune and a style - a fashion - for everyone; Reggae, Electro soul, Rap, Good old funky funk ,Club style and somehow it all seems right ,it works.
..and that’s just side1 ,for you see the album has a ‘side2’ so to speak ‘The Southside’ (7 dub cuts) a bonus disc- a mini album in it’s own right- and for the whole this side2 interests me personally more due to it’s homage to the dub form with dub cut versions of their own tunes that appear on the ‘Northside’ side; “Sunshine Dub” and “Ride On” which are superb old time style dub versions , there’s special guests Sly & Robbie with “Say Peace” and the piano led dub “Free Your Mind” which has a wonderful bass line that hooks ya in fine style in fact all these dub versions mixed with fine attention to detail . So then.. could it be described as The Northside (side1) the commercial radio friendly and TV music channel hit machine – The Southside (side2) the after show chill out disc. Well it’s easy to sum it up like that but there’s much more to this album, the melodic structures ,the chords and the bass lines chosen ,the singing ,the writing , all the work that has gone into this recording deserves them a hit and some serious recognition by the people outside of the usual arena. The Ultra creative and diverse Blue King Brown, they’re from Australia and they’re coming fi conquer. Great production. Great multi vibes. Music fans Go get it! Radio people Go get it!
