In “Uncovered Soul” Kosins (ASCAP awarded composer & lyricist) teams up with Kamau Kenyatta, the stellar long time producer of Gregory Porter, she will re-unite with her soulful and groove skills. A contrast to her previously released and highly acclaimed album, To the Ladies Of Cool“, "Uncovered Soul" follows in the footsteps of Kamau Kenyatta’s three Grammy nominated, Gregory Porter projects. The Grammy nominated CD “Water,” the Grammy nominated single, “Real Good Hands,” from the CD “Be Good” and the Grammy Award winning CD “Liquid Spirit.” “Uncovered Soul” is based on a sonic worldview shaped by the interpersonal and musical landscape of Detroit in the late 60s and 70s. “Uncovered Soul” however, is not merely an urban reality: It is also the common thread that binds the relevancy of the words and music of Curtis Mayfield, Gene McDaniels, Bill Withers,The Neville Brothers, Amos Lee and Burt Bacharach to the present. Three original compositions were added to “Uncovered Soul” to provide a contemporary point of view.
THE FIRST EVER TRACK BILLED TO HER BAND DETROIT MEMPHIS EXPERIENCE, VETERAN JAZZ VOCALIST KATHY KOSINS BRINGS HER SLY, SENSUAL AND SOULFULLY POWERFUL VOCALS TO A NEVILLE BROTHERS CLASSIC (" VOODOO")..RECORDED IN DETROIT AND PRODUCED BY PAUL RANDOLPH AND KAMAU KENYATTA, THE SLOW SIMMERING TRACK ADDS A DEEPER MOTOR CITY BLUES/FUNK ELEMENT AND SPARKS OF OLD SCHOOL R&B, WHILE KEEPING THE SWAMPY SPIRIT OF NEW ORLEANS INTACT. BOTH MOODY AND PLAYFUL, THE MULTI FACETED TRACK ALLOWS US TO ENJOY THREE DISTINCT MUSICAL GENRES IN AN OTHERWORLDY TASTY GUMBO!
