VIBRATIONS
ALBUM REVIEW:
Michael Johnson is the latest artist to be released on Ketch-A-Vibe Records. His album, "Vibrations," brilliantly fuses soul, nu-jazz, and meditative funk into a sensual feast for the ears, mind, and heart. The album features a collective of various vocalists and musicians from all over the world including breathtaking performances by UK vocalist, Santessa, who is mentored by Stewart Mathewman of Sade. While the album incorporates a wide variety of musical influences, Michaels considerable production and songwriting skills keep the album centered on themes of love, jealousy, and forgiveness that are consistently engaging, intense, sensual, and almost erotic. By matching the musical understanding of Lonnie Liston-Smith with the sensuality of Maxwell, Michael Johnsons Vibrations is ear candy for the soul.
