Description
Special 20th Anniversary re-issue edition!
Twenty years ago the duo Hil st Soul released a groundbreaking debut album SOUL ORGANIC.
Zambian-born vocalist Hilary Mwelwa and producer/musician/songwriter Victor Redwood-Sawyerr (VRS) had been working away in a North London studio creating a unique blend of neo soul, jazz and R&B that had critics on both sides of the Atlantic in raptures. Billboard magazine enthused: ''Brimming with R&B/hip-hop/jazz-flavoured rhythms and image-rich lyrics... Even Aretha's ''Until You Come Back To Me'' glows again under Hil's touch''. And talking about the lead single ''Strictly A Vibe Thang'', US magazine Radio & Records were smitten: ''You can't sit still on this one. While listening to this infectious tune you got to move something - even if it's just your big toe!'' In the UK Echoes magazine called it ''one of the best UK soul albums ever''. ''Strictly A Vibe Thang'' charted on the Billboard R&B Singles chart, following in the footsteps of Loose Ends, Soul II Soul and Brand New Heavies, while Hil's acoustic take on the Stevie Wonder-composed ''Until You Come Back To Me'' came out of nowhere to be a sensation at America's Smooth Jazz radio format. It ended 2000 as the most-played vocal track of the year across US Smooth Jazz radio stations, and in the ensuing two decades it has been the most-downloaded - and one of the most-streamed - tracks on the Dome label. Also heavily played: the joyful mid-tempo groove of For Your Love.
This 20th Anniversary Edition of the album - now in a gatefold sleeve - includes three bonus tracks not included on the original vinyl release: the acoustic version of Until You Come Back To Me, the VRS Remix of Just A Matter Of Time, with it's insidious groove, and Down To Business.
